Aside from bringing in Jeremy Lin's hair, perhaps no move embodies the win-now nature of the Charlotte Hornets' offseason. The risk is somewhat substantial considering Nicolas Batum is in the final year of his deal, but it was evident by the price they paid -- Gerald Henderson and Noah Vonleh -- that they didn't think those guys were a part of the future anyway. Here, now, in 2015, Batum is reunited with Richard Cho, who was his general manager in Portland. Whether or not that has any bearing on Batum staying in Charlotte we don't know yet, but it's an interesting storyline.
