Hornets star Baron Davis is disappointed in his teams' roster and according to his agent, may ask to be traded. The team has no intention of letting him go.

With the restructuring of the NBA, the Hornets now play in the tough Western Conference. Davis has said that he doesn't think his team can make a strong playoff push if the roster remains as it is right now.

"We built this team around Baron, and we feel very excited with the coaching staff that we have and the players we got this summer," Hornets general manager Allan Bristow said. "On the basis of that, we're going into this season with a very competitive team, and we're disappointed that Baron doesn't feel that way."

Bristow said he plans to meet with Davis after he returns to New Orleans in mid-September.
