The original Hornets, the expansion Bobcats and the new (rebranded) Hornets cover a span back to 1988, minus the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons, when George Shinn’s team had moved to New Orleans, and the Bobcats hadn’t started playing.
Charlotte NBA teams have totaled 66 trades, based on transactions published in the Hornets’ media guide.
