This is part three in the series "Rebuilding the Hornets." I thought a slide show would be a great way to show some of the players that the Hornets could or should be looking at to bulk up their roster and give Chris Paul a supporting starting cast and provide a bench that can give productive minutes and provide some needed rest to the starters.

It is easy to say that the Bees should go out and sign the top free agents available. Not so fast—the contract structure must fit within the cap and not bankrupt the owner

This show assumes that the Hornets find some creative ways to shed some of the fat contracts (e.g. Peja Stojakovic) that are pushing them way over the 2009-10 salary cap.

Also, the Hornets need to look to the future by adding some younger players as starters and as role players off of the bench.
