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.

Brandon Bass will be plying his trade in Orlando for the next four years.

The Hornets say they're doing what they planned to do. I guess we need to take them at their word for now, but Pargo for $2 million seemed reasonable compared to what others make.

According to GM Jeff Bower, the team isn't looking to unload Tyson Chandler and isn't seeking a deal.
