Making the Case: Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets have been linked to many names to address the center position. With as good as their guard play is, the Hornets could use some pieces to match down low. However, they have remained unable to find a solution.
This is where Horford can come into play. He is not the player that he once was but is reliable on the floor. This would allow Hayward’s contract if he were to come off the books and substitute it with Horford, who is a shorter-term marriage.
This all comes down to clearing cap space for the core of the future. Charlotte will need all the room to keep the team contending for the postseason yearly.
Both LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges show that they are stars in the making and could be paid like that when the time is right.
