For the most part, summers in Charlotte have been filled with familiarity. A routine of keeping the same core coupled with attaining 2nd or 3rd string talent has been without fail: the saga of the Charlotte Hornets. For years, the almost identical routine has plagued the team and damned them to a position that’s not bad enough to tank, but not good enough to adequately compete in the NBA.
However, this summer has seen a drastic change for the Charlotte organization. Most notable being the firing of Rich Cho and Steve Clifford and the hiring of Mitch Kupchak and James Borrego.
