Wiggins has previously been mentioned as a […]

The Charlotte Hornets are big-time sellers before the NBA trade deadline this time around. As everybody knows by now, Terry Rozier was the first domino to fall after getting dealt to the Miami Heat. It let us know that Charlotte is looking to move on from their assets to go in a different direction, embrace […]

The NBA trade deadline is just three days away and so far, the Charlotte Hornets have pulled off one major deal involving the Miami Heat.

After trading away Terry Rozier and acquiring Kyle Lowry from the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Hornets will likely continue to sell with under a week remaining before the 2024 NBA trade deadline.

The Charlotte Hornets suffered another loss, this time by the hands of the Utah Jazz as they fall to a putrid 10-34 record as the NBA season just entered its second half. If there is a bright side to the continuous Hornets problems, it was star PJ Washington who was dynamic scoring 43 points. Despite […]

The Charlotte Hornets could not snap their losing skid against the Houston Rockets, falling 138-104. Things started off great for Charlotte through the first half, as Houston only had a two-point lead heading into the locker room despite both LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller barely playing due to the foul trouble they were in. Unfortunately […]

The Charlotte Hornets may now be open for a fire sale in the aftermath of the trade that sent Terry Rozier, one of their best players, to the Miami Heat for salary filler (Kyle Lowry) and a protected 2027 first-round pick (that becomes unprotected if it doesn’t convey in 2028). To that end, the likes […]

The Charlotte Hornets have traded guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a 2027 1st round pick. After spending four in a half years with Charlotte, Rozier has left his mark. In the history in the franchise, he’s 5th in points, 10th in steals and assists, and 3rd in […]

The Charlotte Hornets are one of the NBA’s forgotten teams, with a pedestrian 4-9 record heading into the last week of November. The Hornets are led by Coach Steve Clifford and explosive point guard LaMelo Ball, but haven’t been able to find the extra scoring they need so far on the young season. Recently, a […]

Out of all the teams in the association, no one would have expected the Charlotte Hornets to be the slayers of the mean green giants of the Eastern Conference. But, the rest of the Lamelo Ball-led squad may have been onto something way before the season even started. PJ Washington remembered what Boston Celtics star […]

The Charlotte Hornets lost to the Miami Heat in their second In-Season Tournament game 111-105. They were down three key players in Terry Rozier, Gordon Hayward and Brandon Miller, so a lot of the other young guys saw the floor on Tuesday night. There were some growing pains for Charlotte, but among all the injuries […]

The Charlotte Hornets are hoping for a better 2023-24 season than the season they had last year. They’re a team that has lot of question marks surrounding the roster. They have a potential franchise player in point guard LaMelo Ball, an intriguing lottery pick in Brandon Miller and a few other worthwhile pieces. One player […]

The Charlotte Hornets continue their improvement during training camp along with the rest of the teams in the NBA. Steve Clifford feels like day two of camp was even better than one. “I thought yesterday was good and everything, but today the intensity, the talk, enthusiasm was like sky high,” Clifford said. “They’re talented players […]

The Charlotte Hornets are one of the youngest organizations in the NBA. Forming in 1988, the Hornets rebranded to the Bobcats in 2004 before they once again became the Hornets in 2014. While the name of the team has changed, this franchise’s lack of success has remained. They’ve never advanced past the Eastern Conference Semifinals […]

The 2022-23 season proved to be a massive letdown for the Charlotte Hornets, as their 27-55 record was the worst since the franchise went 23-42 since the 2019-20 season. This offseason was all about finding ways to improve their roster, as well as retain key members of their young core such as PJ Washington. However, […]

With the return of Miles Bridges, re-signing PJ Washington, and drafting Brandon Miller, the Charlotte Hornets get deeper at the wing spots.

With September about to begin, many teams around the NBA are filling the last couple of roster spots they may have open with players willing to accept minimum contracts. For PJ Washington and the Charlotte Hornets, this was not the case, as they recently agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract. Washington, who entered the […]

Despite going 27-55 during the 2022-23 season, it was clear to see that the Charlotte Hornets had talent on their roster. LaMelo Ball has proven to be one of the best point guards in the entire league, Terry Rozier has been a great complimentary guard in the backcourt and Charlotte has a lot of youthful […]

PJ Washington has agreed to return to the Charlotte Hornets on a three-year $48 million deal. Washington has spent his entire four-year career with the Hornets and has steadily improved every season. He’s played a variety of roles for this squad and has emerged as a solid two-way option for this team from the small […]

Since being drafted 12th overall by the Charlotte Hornets in 2019, PJ Washington has improved every season. Having arguably his best season this past year, the Hornets gave no thought to losing Washington in free agency and while it took longer than expected, the two sides have agreed to a new three-year, $48 million contract […]

The Charlotte Hornets had a pretty quiet summer this 2023. Outside of signing LaMelo Ball to a max contract extension for $260 million, resigning Miles Bridges, and Michael Jordan selling the team, not much has happened. Of course the new young pieces from the 2023 NBA Draft were added, but no other new, veteran pieces […]

Since 2016, the only thing the Charlotte Hornets have fought for is positioning in the NBA Draft lottery. This franchise has missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons and while they have had a handful of high-level talents on their roster through the years, the Hornets have had trouble retaining said players. Now, they are […]

Not many impactful free agents remain this NBA offseason, yet former first-round pick PJ Washington is still without a new contract entering the month of August.

NBA free agency opened up on June 30, and right away, teams began spending money on what many believed to be a weaker free-agent class.

The Utah Jazz may be done making big moves this offseason, as they currently have 15 players under contract.

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington is fresh off of the best season of his pro career. Washington set new career highs in points per game, three-pointers per game, and assists per game, and his play was one of few bright spots for the Hornets during the 2022-23 NBA campaign. So why has Washington yet to […]

The Charlotte Hornets are in an interesting position with NBA free agency underway. They don’t have much by way of cap space to make any kind of big splash, but even if they did, they are not a free agent destination. They have a good, young core though for the most part. LaMelo Ball is […]

NBA Free Agency began on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET. and already, we have seen almost all the biggest names available this offseason come off the board.

Talen Horton-Tucker dropped 37 points, nine rebounds, and […]

The Golden State Warriors have had a season-long championship hangover. Every time it seems that they are on track to turn things around, they put up a stinker of a performance that ends up knocking them down a few pegs. For example, after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers despite not having Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson […]

The NBA trade deadline comes on February 9th, and the Golden State Warriors need to strengthen their rotation if they hope to compete in the playoffs. To be specific, the Warriors may need additional size at the five position since they are severely weak in that area. The struggling bench would also benefit greatly from […]
