Let’s get this out of the way first; no. The Charlotte Hornets should not.
In recent days, DeMarcus Cousins was released by the Houston Rockets, and Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin were benched by their respective teams while they await the fulfillment of their trade requests. With multiple veteran bigs looking for a new home and few teams being in the market for one, the center-needy Hornets have popped up as a landing spot for each one of the aforementioned players.
Before breaking down each of Cousins, Drummond, and Griffin in their current state as players, the overarching argument against pursuing any of them is this; none of them will want to join a team fighting for a play-in spot mid-rebuild on a near-minimum salary, especially considering coach James Borrego only utilizes three big men (Miles Bridges, PJ Washington and Cody Zeller) when the Hornets are at full-strength.
