The Hornets are hoping to re-sign Aaron Gray. "I think that the coaching staff has been very adamant about getting him back and has expressed that to Aaron directly," said Gray's agent, Andy Miller. The big man has drawn interest from several teams, but it's too early to tell if any has emerged as a frontrunner for his services.

Aaron Gray has opted out of his contract with the Hornets for next season according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports. Gray's representation gave the team the news just hours after fellow big man David West also opted out of his deal. The Hornets are suddenly hurting for size with Carl Landry also scheduled to hit free agency, and it's likely that the team will need to address the situation before the start of next season.
