Kai Jones — the Charlotte Hornets big man who has been away from the team during training camp for “personal reasons” — has requested a trade, he announced on social media Monday.
I have officially requested to be traded from the Charlotte Hornets. #GOATLIFE

Jones can make this demand, but it's next to impossible to see a team stepping up to make a deal considering Jones' concerning offseason social media posts and the fact he has not established himself as an NBA rotation player (he is third on the Hornets depth chart).
