"With a paucity of shooting guards on the roster, the Hornets appear to be in the market for another and are targeting unrestricted free agent Jamal Crawford, who has spent the past two seasons with the Hawks.

Andy Miller, Crawford's agent and who also represents former Hornets reserve center Aaron Gray, said Tuesday that New Orleans is in the potential bidding for both of his clients.

In recent days, Mark Bartelstein, the representative for free-agent shooting guards Shannon Brown of the Lakers and Nick Young of the Wizards, said Hornets General Manager Dell Demps had inquired about his clients."
