Last week, Ben Stinar of AmicoHoops reported that the Charlotte Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers have expressed interest in unsigned guard Jodie Meeks. Recently, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin confirmed the news.
You may be thinking to yourself ‘why?’, but after I thought about it, I do think that it’s a move that would make sense for the Hornets. At this point in his career, Meeks is more of a veteran leader in the locker room, and that’s something that all young, rebuilding teams need.
Also, Meeks has a history with current Hornets General Manager Mitch Kupchak.
