Hornets sign former Laker center. Posted by Matt Moore

Well that  didn't take long. After the workout we told you about earlier for the New Orleans Hornets of former Laker reserve D.J. MBenga, the Hornets went ahead and signed D.J.

Aaron Gray is in the position of being the guy everyone says is a "nice player" down low for them. He actually is really nice, but they're going to need bodies, especially if they have any injuries down low. Mbenga also brings a championship knowledge of... okay, I can't finish that.

But in all seriousness, Mbenga is discussed as one of the best locker room guys and is beloved by coaches and reporters. Hopefully he can find a home in New Orleans and catch a few lobs from Chris Paul.
