NBA Trade Deadline: Grading how all 30 teams performed at the deadline
Charlotte Hornets
Key Moves:
N/A
The Charlotte Hornets were one of the most active teams in the days leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline, and it was somewhat surprising that they came away empty-handed when the trade buzzer rang.
At one point, it looked like the Hornets were going to land Marc Gasol, but it appears that trade discussion broke down before an agreement was had. Gasol ended up in Toronto, and the rest is history.
Charlotte also tried to move Frank Kaminsky in the moments leading up the the deadline, but that too fell through. It’s expected that he will be bought out now, per Sporting News. All in all, it was a big L for the Hornets at the deadline.
Grade: C-
