Many Charlotte Hornets fans are probably wondering when they can see the team competing in the playoffs. If it plays its cards right in the near future, it can finally transition from the rebuilding phase to the contending phase. For inspiration, the Hornets can look at the likes of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, and Houston Rockets.
Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report discussed the overreaction he has for each NBA team, with his "hyperbolic" theory for Charlotte is that it is "miles from playoff contention." To clarify, Hughes seems to believe that while competitive hoops still seem far away for Buzz City, the rebuild can quickly flip with the right moves.
