The Charlotte Hornets have had a strong start to the offseason, with President of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson leading the charge. He’s made noticeable improvements to the roster, but one glaring hole still remains: the frontcourt.
Right now, Mason Plumlee, Moussa Diabate, and second-round pick Ryan Kalkbrenner are the only true centers on the roster heading into training camp. That’s not going to cut it if the Hornets are serious about making noise in the Eastern Conference.
The free agent market is quickly drying up, and the trade route may be the most logical path forward.
