Hornets land Bosh!!! But did they give too much?
New Orleans,LA
If nobody saw the Hornets as a title challenge before today , they certainly will now . The normally quiet Hornets have landed a mega deal that brings superstar Power Forward Chris Bosh to New Orleans .
The Toronto Raptors had accepted that Bosh would probably leave at the end of the season in Free Agency so over the last few weeks they have been "testing the waters" with the NBA big-hitters.
Hornets Coach Dan Archer had this to say ..... "When the phone rang and it was the Raptors on the other end my eyes lite up , i mean players like Chris only come along once . We had to pay a steep price but you dont get A* Quality by giving Crap out .
To say the Hornets gave out "alot" is an understatement . The Hornets gave out Starting PF David West , Starting SF James Posey and a 1st round Pick in exchange for Bosh`s services.
This deal surely means that the Hornets are making a big push at the title , Chris Paul now has a superstar caliber player to play alongside .
At todays press confrence an excited coach Archer spoke about his respect and gratitude for David West and James Posey for the services they had given to the team .
"James is a clutch player that is good enough to start at any team" says Archer , he also said that "David has the ability to be a special player"
