On Monday, the New Orleans Hornets waived their 2003 second-round pick center James Lang.

"Bob Bass, the Hornets executive vice president of basketball operations/general manager, said the team had hopes of possibly moving Lang off the injured list to the active roster, but he hadn't shown enough potential in the past three months to warrant the move."
