The Hornets needed guards that could shoot better so they let Desmond Mason walk after they signed Morris Peterson to replace him.  Mason played in 75 games (all starts) for the Hornets last season and he averaged 13.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.  He shot 45.2% from the floor and 66.3% from the free throw line.  The Hornets are willing to bet that Morris Peterson will have a better year than Desmond Mason will for Milwaukee and I think they will be right.
