John Hollinger of ESPN.com says so far this offseason, the Hornets' GM has had to try to satisfy the competing interests of Chris Paul and George Shinn.

He says Shinn wants to cut salary, but Paul wants a championship-caliber team.

My take is that for the Hornets to show big improvement, they'll have to do it internally with Julian Wright and their top picks - Collison and Thornton - stepping in to big roles.
