Charlotte (AFP) - The Charlotte Hornets, who struggled to only 33 wins in 82 games last season, made two trades Thursday on the eve of the NBA Draft.
The Hornets sent forward Matt Barnes to Memphis in exchange for guard Luke Ridnour, then swapped Ridnour and a 2016 second-round draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Jeremy Lamb.
And that followed Charlotte obtaining French forward Nicolas Batum on Wednesday from Portland in exchange for guard Gerald Henderson and forward Noah Vonleh.
