The debate continued for weeks. Hilton Armstrong or Cedric Simmons?
The Hornets needed a big man like beignets need powdered sugar, and the team's brass couldn't decide which college player to select 12th in Wednesday's NBA draft.
Moreover, they didn't know if they would get either.
But in a stunning turn of events, as far as the Hornets were concerned, the team had the opportunity to draft both players -- Armstrong, a Connecticut senior, at No. 12, and Simmons, a North Carolina State sophomore, at No. 15.
"It's a dream come true," said Armstrong, who averaged just 3.8 points per game two years ago.
And with the 43rd pick in the second round, the Hornets drafted Brazilian Marcus Vinicius, a 6-foot-8 forward.

And then you add Tyson Chandler to the mix to fuck it all up. Ya been hoodwinked! Ya been bamboozled! You should be very, very afraid down in NOLA.
They should call him "Tys'n Chandler" because he lack an "O" -- no offensive skills whatsoever. Chandler is a stiff, with a hefty $54 million price tag. Should kept P.J. Brown and the $8 million in salary relief that you get at the end of the 2007 season. Instead, the NOOCH are stuck . . . You're absolutely stuck, I tell you. Good luck trying to unload him after next season
Who the GM? Y'all need to ride that fuckah! out on a rail.
