Hornets wing players disappointing

"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."

good news on a couple fronts

READ THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE A NEW FANPOST!

sam23 — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:56:55 -0000

The number of fanposts/fanshots about the same topic has gotten out of control over the past 3 days. I'm not a mod, but I thought some general guidelines might be useful. Its a pretty simple 3 step process.

1. Are you about write some new story at all related to Stephen Jackson wanting out of the Bay Area and/or a potential trade with Dallas?

If you answered 'no' to question 1, stop reading and proceed with your fanpost. If you answered 'yes' to question 1 proceed to question 2.

2. Do you have any useful new (can't emphasize that new part enough) information to contribute? (i.e. a new article about the subject that has not yet been discussed or actual news related to a possible trade) This is where it can get kinda tricky, because it may require to actually read what everyone else has already posted. Incidentally, reading what everyone else had already posted would be much easier for you if there weren't already 10 too many recent threads about Stephen Jackson.

If you answered 'no' to question 2 feel free to express your opinion about Stephen Jackson, Don Nelson, a Mavs trade or another potential Jackson trade inside any of the open Stephen Jackson threads, preferably the first (and recommended) fanshot or the frontpage story. If you answered 'yes' to question 2, proceed to question 3.

3. Do you really have a new perspective on the subject to go along with your new information/new article that you wish to share? Again, this may require that you actually read the other related threads.

If you answered 'yes' to question 3 then you probably have the start to a pretty good fanpost, proceed. If you answered 'no' to question 3 then you have everything you need for a good fanshot.

Freddy to the DL?

Freddy to the DL?

"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."

Schulman says Giants chasing Duke+Sanchez?

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?
