Hornets may take look at Antawn Jamison?

Peter (CA):

Who do you see getting bought out after the trade deadline?

Ric Bucher:

Likeliest is Antawn Jamison. Cavs will try to deal him, but if it doesn't happen I would expect a buyout. And the team likeliest to sign him after that is New Orleans right now. They need a stretch 4 and he would be perfect.

Thoughts???

Take him

I don't know where he would fit on the Hornets, he's gonna take minutes from Ariza or West. Well unless they move Ariza to SG then Jamison could fit in at SF.

I think he would help though, add another perimeter threat.

Jamison can play PF or SF. I'd say he's more of a PF, so he'd be DWest's backup. But he could also log minutes at backup SF, taking away minutes from QPon if needed. A lineup like this would be interesting:

Paul
Ariza
Jamison
West
Okafor

Here's another little fun fact. Despite his size, David West is more than capable of playing C. He's done it a number of times. So another lineup could be:

Paul
Thornton
Ariza
Jamison
West

If we wanted to go a little smaller.

They should try to get him, otherwise it will be a fishing trip during the NBA Finals for them.

West needs help.

 

[Pugz]

it will still be a fishing trip for them during the finals. lol

Yep lol

I dunno... Jamison brings scoring but not much defense. He does rebound a little bit. You never know he could be the NOLA savior!

 

[Si3t3]

I think they should, and D. West will be free agent this summer, doubt he will be back, but who knows...

 

[Lake Louise]

They should take him. I want him to be on a team with a better chance at making the finals. Not saying the Hornets will, but I like Jamison and like to see him on a teams that are doing well.
