Maybe they do. I'm pretty sure they've been seeing more of Cedric than both you and I have. Perhaps they think it may have been a mistake selecting him at #15. The Hornets need to win and they need to win NOW. Both Byron Scott and Jeff Bower knows this. Cedric is full of potential. Could be full of potential that never even gets tapped. But the Hornets would rather have roster/cap space to pick up someone down the line that may help them get over that hump. Might be better to have that than to have a guy on the end of the bench that may not be able to contribute right now. Right now the Hornets have seen more improvement in Hilton than they have in Cedric. Teams do this sort of thing all the time but since the Hornets have done it, people are acting like it's the end of the world and the worst move they've ever seen.
