The Charlotte Hornets are looking ahead to this year's free agency as they enter tonight's NBA Draft.
The Charlotte Hornets are once again entering NBA Draft night without a major focus on the draft itself. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Hornets are looking to trade their pick along with Jeremy Lamb and/or Spencer Hawes to create cap space to help sign free agents.
