The Cleveland Cavaliers are running into salary problems quickly, so Jarrett Allen, one of their more expendable pieces, could be available. The Charlotte Hornets should be all over it if he is, as he would represent a key upgrade at a position that the Hornets suddenly have a need.
After trading both Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic, the Hornets' center depth chart is pretty thin. Rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner was a second-round pick, and Moussa Diabate is an undersized former two-way player. While Allen's contract is long enough that it might prevent Kalkbrenner from getting the minutes he needs or deserves, this is an upgrade.
