Charlotte Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak says center is a big enough problem that likely no one player acquisition can fix it.
So expect the Hornets to pursue multiple centers via trade, free-agency and/or the draft this offseason.
Kupchak met with media for about 40 minutes Thursday following the end of Charlotte’s season. Among key points he made:
u25aa He expects Gordon Hayward to be “100%” for the start of training camp, after Hayward missed the last 25 games of this season with a sprained foot.
u25aa He anticipates the Hornets can have as much as $29 million-plus in salary cap space when free-agency starts Aug.
