Charlotte Hornets pick Greensboro for D-League franchise

It's been about a year or so since the Charlotte Hornets announced that they will be adding a D-League franchise to the North Carolina-South Carolina area. Today, we now know where specifically that team will be. Per Greensboro News and Record, the Hornets have decided to place the new franchise in Greensboro.

This decision to finally place the D-League franchise ends a long process that featured many cities, but more importantly it's the first step taken towards Charlotte joining the modern NBA by gaining their own D-League affiliate. The majority of the NBA is heading in this direction, and it's very likely that every franchise will have their own affiliate within the next five to ten years if not sooner.
