As an unrestricted free agent on a non-contending NBA team committed to rebuilding, eight-year veteran Kelly Oubre Jr. realizes there’s a good chance the Charlotte Hornets will wave goodbye to the 6-foot-7 former Kansas wing this offseason.
There’s also the possibility the Hornets could re-sign the 27-year-old Oubre as a veteran presence to play alongside LaMelo Ball on a Charlotte team coming off a dismal 27-55 campaign.
“It would mean a lot. My family (wife, daughter) loves it here. I love it here. I love the organization, the city, my teammates, so it would mean a lot to me for sure,” Oubre said of possibly reaching terms on a new contract to remain in Charlotte.
