A recent report from Charlotte Hornets’ beat writer, Rick Bonnell, says “The @hornets plan to sign Development League point guard Jorge Gutierrez to fill their 15th roster spot.” The team is in need of a third point guard since trading Brian Roberts.
The Charlotte Hornets had an open roster spot due to a recent trade that took place just before the NBA trade deadline. The Hornets sent P.J. Hairston and Brian Roberts to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Miami Heat as they received Courtney Lee in return.
