In order to keep pace with the top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Hornets had several off-season objectives.
No. 1: Re-sign free-agent forward P.J. Brown.
No. 2: Either re-sign free agent Jerome Moiso or find a suitable replacement on the market.
No. 3: Acquire a backup point guard.
Hornets vice president of basketball operations and general manager Bob Bass can celebrate, as he checked off all three items on his to-do list this past month.
No. 1: Brown signed a four-year, $34 million contract July 16.
No. 2: Veteran center Sean Rooks signed July 21 after Moiso had signed with the Toronto Raptors.
No. 3: Veteran point guard Darrell Armstrong signed July 29.
