The Charlotte Hornets have a fairly dismal set of options in this year’s free agency, but that doesn’t mean they can’t gain value by finding the right player. Here are five players that might benefit the Hornets to sign in free agency. Longtime readers may remember last year’s version of this article, which both served

With the shadow of Kemba Walker’s impending free agency cast over their offseason, who should the Charlotte Hornets be targeting in the NBA Draft? The biggest questions for the Hornets this summer is whether they’ll be able to convince Kemba Walker to re-sign with the team in free agency. Unfortunately, he’ll make that decision after
The Charlotte Hornets are approaching an offseason with one big decision they have very little control over, and a bunch of little ones they have more ability to control. Here are the five things they need to achieve over the course of those decisions: After a season that began promisingly, the Charlotte Hornets hit a

Basketball Insiders continues it’s “Fixing” series for teams who have been eliminated from playoff contention. Today’s team: the Phoenix Suns. The Suns shifted into a full rebuild in 2015.

For the Hornets, patience is a virtue, and the team will benefit from Mitch Kupchak electing to display it in advance of the trade deadline. The Charlotte Hornets’ fanbase, understandably, was a little restless going into Thursday’s trade deadline. The team is going nowhere, just as it had in the previous seasons under Steve Clifford,
Throughout the week, Basketball Insiders has released post-deadline rankings on teams in various divisions around the NBA, and next up is the Southwest Division. The Southwest is incredibly diverse this season. It features a team that is gunning for the NBA Finals, teams that can’t decide to what extent they want to tank and everything
Remember when the consensus with the NBA Trade Deadline was that it was going to be pretty boring with more buyers than sellers? Those were some good times, because a lot has changed since then. Suddenly, the Grizzlies decided to end their golden age of basketball, Kristaps Porzingis and the Knicks divorced and rumors are swirling

The NBA provides the masses great drama during nearly every month of the year — February, for many reasons, is no different. Aside from the All-Star Game-related festivities, the trade deadline is always a popular period of time for the frenzied onlooker. On the surface level, the notion of asking whether the buyers will buy
Back by the popular demand of pretty much only myself, it’s the second annual edition of Around the NBA in 15 Trades. We’re taking all 30 teams in the lead up to the Feb. 7 trade deadline and finding a happy middle ground for prosperous barterdom. Oh, the Eastern Conference. So much disparity. So much mediocrity.
For several years now, the Charlotte Hornets have been attempting to stave off a seemingly inevitable decline. Michael Jordan wants his team to be relevant, and ideally wants them to make the playoffs every year. Anyone expecting any other attitude from the most maniacally competitive player of the modern era has not been paying attention.
With no clear way to make the players younger, the Charlotte Hornets did the next best thing and made the coaching staff younger. The Charlotte Hornets, as a team, somewhat stuck in the mud with no clear path forward on the current core, knew that they had to get younger this offseason. The Charlotte Hornets,
It would be a metaphoric gut punch to Charlotte’s fanbase, but the Hornets would be better off getting a king’s ransom for Kemba Walker right now. Trading a star is never easy, but it feels nearly impossible for the Charlotte Hornets. Kemba Walker is really all the Hornets have got, and life without him would
The trade market has been an active one this season and, on December 15, trade chatter should only increase; players that signed contracts prior to September 15 will become eligible to be traded. While some big names have already been moved — Jimmy Bulter, Kyle Korver, George Hill, etc. — anything could happen between now
He’s underappreciated from being mired in an unremarkable situation and underestimated because of his size. All that adds to what makes Kemba Walker one of the most exciting players in the league. Now, let’s find him some help. Out from every corner of the NBA Twitterverse, ideas and pleas for getting Kemba Walker out of
For two seasons in a row, the Charlotte Hornets have finished with a record of 36-46 and missed the playoffs. With the franchise in decline and looking unlikely to turn things around, owner Michael Jordan decided to hit the reset button on his senior staff. He brought in former Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who

Though they may seem like it, the Kemba Walker-led Charlotte Hornets are not a one-man show. Jeremy Lamb is a talented wing with the off-the-bounce jazz; Cody Zeller embodies the role of a low-usage center, setting impenetrable screens and anchoring the paint; Miles Bridges has delighted in his rookie year, carving out a consistent rotation
Bradley Beal might be the easiest player for the Washington Wizards to trade, and the Charlotte Hornets are trying to form a dynamic backcourt. The Washington Wizards are a picture of dysfunction right now, and they may be willing to trade virtually anyone. Breaking up the backcourt tandem of John Wall and Bradley Beal is
As November draws to a close, the NBA has broached the quarter-season mark. Twenty games may not seem like a lot, but there is plenty that can be taken away from the play of any team through this point in the season. The 2018-19 season has been quite a surprising one so far, even more
In the long run, it could really go either way in regards to who was the winner of the Jimmy Butler trade.
