1.  Joe Smith:  Showed the NBA the possibilities during 3 brilliant weeks
in December.  Has been less consistent since then, but in the current
market, he's worth the money he's asking and should get good return in a
trade.

2.  Erick Dampier:  He's taken advantage of the increase in his role. 
Closest thing to an untouchable on the team in trade talks.  A little more
refinement offensively, and he'll be a real power inside.

3.  Tony Delk:  Hornets may have given up on him too fast.  Lovely to
behold when he's on a hot streak.  Says he wants to learn point guard; if
he were 2 inches taller, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
