Korver and Peja say "Start me or Lose me"
Just as the Hornets felt like they were ready to attack the number one spot in the west , the locker room erupted into a downward spiral . Fan favourite Peja Stojakovic who has averaged 19.8 PPG from the 6th man spot (since Coach Archer arrived) has asked to be traded to a team that will start him.
Peja told Hornets.com the following .... "this may be my last chance at starting at a team , ive more than shown in the last 14 months that I have the ability to be starting somewhere in the NBA".
It would seem as if Stojakovic`s announcement has sparked some fire under disgruntled role player Kyle Korver also . Korver who hit a game winner in game 2 of the Western Confrence Playoffs last season has asked to be traded also for a chance at starting at a new team .
Korver stated that "he thinks its time to make the "big leap" and start somewhere in the NBA"
While some fans can understand Peja`s frustration alot of members around the camp are having trouble seeing where Kyle Korver is coming from . Many have described Korver as a average player who can only shoot the 3 while others have called him "soft" .
This will certainly be a test for one year coach Archer who only made one trade last season . Ironicly that trade was bringing Kyle Korver to New Orleans for Mo Peterson.
Big Baby in the Big Easy?
It seems that if Kyle Korver was to move on somewhere , wether it be Waivers or a trade , the likely target will be Free Agent Glen Davis formerly of the Boston Celtics and LSU .
Davis would provide a great spark of the bench as well as adding much needed depth to the Hornets Front Court .
