    New Orleans Hornets general manager Dell Demps remains aggressive in pursuit of scorers and power players, using shooting guard Marcus Thornton(notes), the $4.7 million expiring contract of Marcus Banks(notes) and a trade exception as bait, sources said.

    The Hornets have been talking with the Sacramento Kings about power forward Carl Landry(notes), who has a $3 million expiring contract and could be an ideal candidate to re-sign should David West(notes) opt out of his contract and leave as a free agent.

    West is no longer discussing a contract extension with the Hornets and plans to opt out of the $7.5 million left on his deal for next year, sources said. West should be able to command $10 million a season in an extension, several front office executives said. The Hornets have tried to sign West to a new deal, but so far have been unsuccessful.

    Given Carl's history, I'm not so sure he likes being "targeted" if you know what I am saying. You probably don't want to tell him that "we are pulling the trigger" on your deal, either.

    @WindhorstESPN If Carl Landry knows where he's going, he's not saying. But he was in a pretty good mood.

    NO could be it, if he's in a good mood. He probably just wants to go back to winning. Playing with CP can't hurt either.

    Because it's a short term move that doesn't do anything.

    I'm thinking New Orleans too...But I am sure he would be happy to go back to his hometown.

    Source says Kings' Carl Landry is likely headed to New Orleans, but the deal is not done. Although check w/ team's PBP man, @grantnapearshow

    Sacramento and New Orleans closing in on deal that would send Carl Landry to Hornets for Marcus Thornton and David Andersen

    Damn, I really wanted him to be traded to Houston!

    Oh well, hopefully we can get him in free agency.
