According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Charlotte Hornets are “unlikely to bring back GM Rich Cho on a new contract next season.” Woj also added that they are “expected to pursue former Lakers’ GM Mitch Kupchak to partner in front office with assistant GM Buzz Peterson.” This signals the end for Cho who has been with the franchise since 2011. Steve Reed of AP tweeted that the team fired Cho and terminated his contract.
This report comes after a rumor that the Queen City team was interested in bringing in Mitch Kupchak.
