Bonnell: Hornets Are Not Pursing Shawn Marion

Did he really tweet that the name change wouldn't happen?

 

He always seemed weirdly bitter about the possibility of a name change, and I could never figure out why.  Even other guys at the Observer like Sorensen would write these stories about what a good idea the change was, and how much the name meant to the community.  But Bonnell always just blew it off and acted like the whole thing didn't matter.  I never understood it.  (I'll add this was before the name change was made official...back when it was all speculation after New Orleans announced their change.)

    • Regardless I can't imagine we draft two edge rushers. 
    • The players who will be available to us with those picks are irrelevant because it's still not a good trade.  And for at sam that has a recent history of making bad draft pick based trades, all this trade would do is make teams continue to low ball us in trade offers because it's clear we get pushed around. And it being that type of draft is also exactly why it's a terrible trade, because it's a bit of a crapshoot draft, so every pick you move down, makes you more likely to make a wrong pick than a right one.  Even over drafting a player is a smarter move, because it means we are still taking someone we REALLY believe in, which in a draft like this is more important than value, because it gives you a better chance of hitting on the pick. All of that is also before you even dig in further and see that this is proposing a trade with the Falcons. If we're allowing a divisional opponent to move up from 15 to 8 to take someone they clearly badly want, you need to make them bleed for it.  I made my comments before realizing it, and still stick by that trade package if it was a non NFCS team, now knowing it's the Falcons, if we're going from 8 to 15, I want next year's 1st and 2nd as well as this year's 2nd, anything less and they can go kick rocks.
    • If we aren’t sold on anyone at 8, this would be a good trade imo. We would get a really good player at 46. This is an unusual draft with a lot of really good players from 10-50.
