After the hiring of the new Hornets GM 30 days ago he has made some moves that will be very helpfull during the rebuilding. To start off he signed PG David Wesley who is now averaging 10 PPG at 26.5 minutes per game. Then he acquired Tracy MaGrady from for Jason Terry, Shane Battier and a pick for this years draft VIA Rockets. Jason Terry is now averaging 15 PPG as a starting SG. But there are rumors around the ABCA that Tracy McGrady & Erick Dampier will soon be leaving the Hornets. When asked about these rumors the Hornets GM had this to say "We have been shopping them around im still not sure if im gonna trade them away we will just have to wait and see". The Hornets made the playoffs last year but got elimanated 4-1 in round 1 to the Magic. The hornets are 2nd to last in the Central Division and also 2nd to last in the East. That means that their draft pick will likely be a lottery pick in the draft.
With many great prospects this draft will be a success for the hornets this year. Although no Hornets mad it to the All-Start Game Tracy McGrady won his first Slam-Dunk Contest.
