New Orleans is looking for depth in the frontcourt.

With use of mid-level and bi-annual exceptions, the Hornets can spend up to $7.4 million on free agents.

The Hornets could sign one or two free agents using just their mid-level exception, which is expected to be set at $5.6 million.

Brandon Bass and Joe Smith are amongst the club's top targets.

Other free-agent power forwards/centers the Hornets could pursue are former Hornet Chris Andersen, Drew Gooden, Stromile Swift, Rasho Nesterovic, Mikki Moore, Antonio McDyess, David Lee and Channing Frye.
