Among many other items on their offseason check list, the Charlotte Hornets must address their need for perimeter shooting. Their avenues to adding talent are limited to, as is currently stands, the non-taxpayer mid-level exception ($14,105,000 that can be split between multiple players), their lottery pick in the 2025 NBA Draft (guaranteed to land between picks one and seven), and two second-round picks.
Their path to upgrading the roster is slim, but it's not impossible for the Hornets to add impact players on a budget this summer. Jake LaRavia is the perfect impact free agent that Jeff Peterson could acquire for cheap when free agency opens in July.
