Tipping Off Hawes Heads to Charlotte
Another fresh face to the Charlotte roster this past season was veteran big man, Spencer Hawes, who was acquired via trade with the Los Angeles Clippers shortly before the 2015 NBA Draft last June. Coming off what he described as “a tough year individually” during Hornets Media Day last September, Hawes managed to turn things around during his first season in Charlotte despite dealing with some painful, reoccurring lower back issues that sidelined him for a large portion of the post-All-Star Break schedule.
After spending just one season with the Clippers, Hawes was traded to Charlotte along with teammate, Matt Barnes, on June 15, 2015 in a deal that sent Lance Stephenson to Los Angeles (Barnes was later traded to the Memphis Grizzlies).
