Report: Loomis will oversee basketball operations of New Orleans Hornets | ProFootballTalk

Loomis will be overseeing the Hornets now. What do you guys think about this?

During his 8 game suspension; no problem! Before the Hornets though; Drew is the #1 priority!

You tell 'em Mitch.

It is probably a good move to have Loomis on board even for the short term.

Good maybe he will bring some talent to the team

I am not a fan of this.... It means he will be distracted until game 9.

However, it is a smart move. Why not make Payton the teams head or assistant coach. Make Vilma a training manager...

Slap Goodell right in the face.... The NFL wants to suspend people with out pay for a season? Okay, we will put them to work and pay them through the NBA.

Eat it Goodell.

Not really a fan. Would like the Hornets to use someone w/ a basketball pedigree.

Eric Gordon's bum leg wasn't good enough?

It is a total FU to Goodell in my opinion. A bird flip from Tom Benson personally to Rodger.

I actually think he is just going to set things up, open the shop, put the office and its philosophies in place, keep a chair warm, and then they will get in a basketball person eventually to run things after that.

Your right. Plus he still gets paid. !

I think it's more of a publicity ploy than anything w/ Goodell.....and confirmation in my fear of a Saintification of the Hornets...

Tom doesn't want a "Loser" for a team. Loomis will put the Hornets on a winning path. I guarontee!
