Hornets Acquire New Guards, Seek Center
5 Feb
Summary
- Hornets acquired Coby White and Mike Conley from the Bulls.
- Team also landed Tyus Jones from the Orlando Magic.
- Hornets are now seeking a new center for playoff push.

The Charlotte Hornets significantly altered their roster on Wednesday, a day before the NBA trade deadline. In a multi-team deal, they acquired guards Coby White and Mike Conley from the Chicago Bulls, while also adding Tyus Jones from the Orlando Magic. These transactions followed a successful seven-game winning streak for the Hornets, their longest since the 2015-16 season.
The acquisition of new guards leaves the Hornets with a notable gap in their center rotation, a concern as they aim for a playoff berth. With Mason Plumlee and potentially other key players moved, the team is reportedly exploring options for a new center. Candidates being discussed include Day'Ron Sharpe of the Brooklyn Nets and Goga Bitadze of the Orlando Magic, both known for their defensive capabilities.
