It’s been an uneventful week for the Charlotte Hornets since the start of free agency but there has finally been some movement from the front office. Earlier today it was reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania that Charlotte had emerged as a suitor for Lauri Markkanen. Now tonight it’s being reported by The Athletic’s David Aldridge that Kelly Oubre Jr. is in discussions with Charlotte. Aldridge reported that there will be no agreement tonight but talks are ongoing.
Oubre is one of the few marquee players left in the free agency pool who’s looking for a fresh start to rejuvenate his career and Charlotte is one of the few teams who have the cap space to make a deal.
