NOLA.com: Stormy Season
The winds of age, unhappiness and injury gave way to changes and inexperience for the Hornets, the result being a flood of losses
Full Article
Quote:
The Hornets had little money to spend during free agency for immediate upgrades, in part because of the maximum money contract that would pay Davis more than $10 million in 2004-05 and the $9.3 million owed to injured forward Jamal Mashburn, whose career mysteriously ended by a bone bruise he sustained in training camp in 2003.
New Orleans quickly signed power forward/center Chris Andersen, who emerged this season as a valuable reserve who could score, rebound and block shots.

Hornets First Round Pick Chris Paul on playing with J.R. Smith:
"It's going to be too exciting to play alongside J.R. He loves to play above the rim and I love to put it above the rim for him to catch it. I'm just excited because he's a young, up-and-coming player just like myself."
