Ugh.

"Disappointed with the production at his two-guard spot, New Orleans Hornets Coach Byron Scott said Saturday he'd start Devin Brown on Sunday night against the defending world champion Los Angeles Lakers and put Morris Peterson on the inactive list.

"It's a 2-4 start and I'm not really getting anything out of Mo at the starting two guard," Scott said following practice at the Alario Center. "It just might be by committee right now; give Devin a chance then six games from now, maybe give Marcus (Thornton, rookie from LSU) a chance and just go with (the most effective) guy.

"That's the only thing I can do right now. I think we're playing without any productivity from Mo, and Julian (Wright, small forward) is kind of down right now, so it's almost like playing five against three. We've got to bring somebody in there who can bring some energy and hopefully kind of pick it up a little bit."

Peterson had left the gym and was unavailable for comment."

I read this as "we're getting desperate enough to really want Stephen Jackson."

Uribe replacement?

Nellie says Acie Law will concentrate on playing point FORWARD?!

Randolph says Morrow will be a top 5 talent in the NBA ...possibly this year?!

good news on a couple fronts

"Giants second baseman Freddy Sanchez will miss Monday's game against the Rockies due to a shoulder problem and could be headed to the disabled list, reports the Oakland Tribune.
Sanchez has missed 10 of 23 games since joining the Giants and the whispers in San Francisco are that the second baseman may be a "soft" player, a tag that his former Pirates manager strongly disputes. "I can tell you he grinded his way through all kinds of aches and pains," current Rockies boss Jim Tracy told the Tribune."

this seems to fall under the "the enemy of our enemy is our friend" category

I'm guessing the version of the deal Schulman keeps hearing involves Alderson...... I don't know enough about Duke to know if I like that or not, thoughts?
