It won’t surprise me if Frank Kaminsky never plays again as a Charlotte Hornet.
I won’t go so far as to predict that, because Kaminsky getting released by the Hornets to sign elsewhere would likely entail him giving up some guaranteed salary, called a “buyout” in NBA-speak. A buyout seems like the logical next step after Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak didn’t find a suitable deal for Kaminsky before Thursday’s trade deadline.
Kaminsky, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2015 draft, is the fourth of four options to play center for the Hornets, five if you include the time power forward Marvin Williams plays there.
