Hornets receive an exemption to add a player
Magloire to injured list

The Hornets wanted to have a new player on the roster by
Thursday, but now that probably won't happen until
Saturday when they host Detroit.
The Hornets were granted an exemption by the NBA on
Thursday that will allow them to have four players on the
injured list. But Jamaal Magloire won't be added to the
list with a broken right ring finger until Saturday, the
same day the team expects a targeted Continental Basketball
Association player to undergo a physical and sign a contract.
Baron Davis, Rodney Rogers and Jamal Mashburn are already on
the injured list.
Meanwhile, trade rumors have surfaced out of New Jersey,
where the Nets also are struggling. The Hornets have started
to season 1-13, and the Nets are 3-12. They are shopping
center Aaron Williams, who played for Scott in New Jersey for
three seasons, but has not played much this season, averaging
2.5 points per game.
"I know there's been lots of speculation about that, but at
this point he's not in the picture. Right now, we're not going
to go in that direction." said Hornets general manager Allan
Bristow.
"There's no doubt about it -- Aaron could fit our system,"
Scott said of Williams, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound 10-year
veteran. "It just depends, what would New Jersey want back
for him? I love Aaron Williams. He's a great basketball
player, but he's a greater person. Is it something we would
be interested in? Probably so. It just depends on if it's
the right thing. I know they're shopping a few players over
there.
"I don't think we necessarily have to (make a trade).
Obviously, Allan is exploring every opportunity to try to
make our team better."
