NBA Rumors: Hornets Owner Michael Jordan Interested in Trading for Russell Westbrook

Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan would be interested in his team trying to deal for Rockets guard Russell Westbrook, according to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor.

According to The Ringer, the Hornets have emerged as the most likely team to acquire the UCLA product, though, Charlotte will reportedly not put the team's No. 3 pick in Wednesday's draft on the table in a possible deal to acquire the 2016-17 league MVP.

Jordan's interest in Westbrook is not overly surprising considering the fact that Westbrook has a massive, long-term apparel deal with the Jordan brand.
