On July 7th, the Charlotte Hornets were a part of a three-team trade. In this trade, the Chicago Bulls would receive Julyan Stone, the Orlando Magic would receive Jerian Grant and Timofey Mozgov. In return, Charlotte would receive former Hornet Bismack Biyombo and two future second-round picks.
Bismack gives the team added frontcourt depth and there’s good reason to believe that this will be a positive pickup. This trade answered many questions about what the Hornets would do at the five spot. With two years and $34 million left on Biyombo’s contract; it almost foreshadows the team’s future of Cody Zeller.
