A busy summer for the Charlotte Hornets continued last Saturday night as the team landed center Bismack Biyombo and a pair of future second-round picks in a three-team deal that sent the recently-acquired Timofey Mozgov to the Orlando Magic and Julyan Stone to the Chicago Bulls.
For Biyombo – who spent his last two seasons in Orlando – this trade is a homecoming of sorts as the 25-year-old returns to the team that he began his NBA career with seven years ago. He’ll also be following in the footsteps of Hornets Assistant Coach Jay Hernandez, who had been with the Magic since the start of the 2014-15 season.
