Now that the NBA trade deadline has passed, many buyout candidates have emerged as playoff teams continue aiming to improve their roster. As for the Charlotte Hornets, they have multiple players who may be on the move in the near future. Despite being highly featured in rumors over the past week, the Hornets opted to stand pat at the trade deadline.
According to The Charlotte Observer, the Hornets have waived Michael Kidd-Gilchrist after finalizing a buyout agreement. Drafted by the Hornets as the second overall pick in 2012, there were hopes that Kidd-Gilchrist would help turn the franchise around.
