Hornets Roster CRUNCH! Who Gets CUT? | Should Charlotte STILL Trade for Jonathan Kuminga? 🤔

With training camp just around the corner, we are firing up the Rotation Station to examine the Hornets' crowded roster. The team currently has too many players on guaranteed deals and will need to make some tough decisions to get down to the 15-man limit, which promises to create some intense competition in the preseason. We identify the most likely candidates to be cut, with Daquan Jeffries and Nick Smith Jr. at the top of the list, and explain why a busy offseason of signings has created this roster crunch. Next, we turn our attention to the ongoing contract stalemate between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors. With reports of a high asking price in trades, we explore whether the Hornets should get involved in the Kuminga sweepstakes. While the talent is enticing, we look at the significant concerns regarding his attitude, defensive commitment, and overall fit, ultimately explaining why we are relieved the front office has stayed away so far. Finally, we end the show with a "Who Wore It Best" for jersey #00, crowning a surprising but legendary winner between Robert Parish, Spencer Hawes, and Tony Delk Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://linktr.ee/lockedonhornets Become an official member of the Locked On Hornets Sicko Brigade and get Hornets news, rumors and pictures of Byron Mullens sent directly to your phone via Subtext (14 Day Free Trial): https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonhornets Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Get Doug's gamenotes, special articles and a podcast on Hornets history at the Every Hornets Boxscore substack: everyhornetsboxscore.com Get more Walker on Wes and Walker 12-3pm on WFNZ 92.7 FM Top 35 Hornets Nicknames of All-Time According to Doug Branson: https://hornets.substack.com/p/the-top-35-nicknames-in-hornets-franchise Top 35 Hornets of All-Time According to Walker Mehl: https://hornets.substack.com/p/the-top-35-players-in-hornets-history 📲 Follow Locked On Hornets on Twitter Locked On Hornets https://twitter.com/LockedOnHornets Walker Mehl https://twitter.com/WalkerMehl Doug Branson https://twitter.com/DougBransonLOH Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
