The doors of the NBA’s offseason are about to open. During the next three weeks, activity within the Charlotte Hornets will increase, and there’s no shortage of questions regarding the organization’s intentions, especially with Miles Bridges’ free agency commencing soon. In this latest mailbag, we answer reader queries about the possibility of drafting Connecticut center Donovan Clingan with the sixth pick in the NBA Draft on June 26 and whether the Hornets should consider trading for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, potentially executing a sign-and-trade with Bridges and more
Personally, from this vantage point, yes. As laid out in this eloquently written piece of craftsmanship, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for the Hornets to go the same route they’ve taken for seemingly forever. This roster already has more than enough youth on it and incorporating another teenager or early twentysomething is not going to propel the Hornets forward within the next year or two.
