Kai Jones Requests Trade From Hornets

I guess if he’s going to be traded from the Charlotte Hornets then he would want to be the one to call the shots. It appears Kai Jones’s time in North Carolina is coming to an end.

According to the man himself, Jones is wanting out and has put in a trade request.

The Hornets did decide not to allow him to play, they said he would be away from the team for the foreseeable future, and now it appears he will be on a different team.

Across platforms such as Twitter/X and Instagram, Jones has been making rather interesting posts surrounding himself and his team. Recent examples would be of him calling out his teammates and critiquing them.

The former first-rounder’s mental health has been questioned as not many people believe he is mentally well. Whether he is on a substance or not is unknown, but his behavior has been irrational this past month. People have seen the clips surfacing from his past Instagram Lives to see his mental health decline or go in a different direction.

Jones averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game last season for the Hornets.

Miles Bridges Agrees To New Contract With Hornets

According to multiple reports, led by The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Miles Bridges has re-signed with the Charlotte Hornets after opting not to be in a potential sign-and-trade.

The 26-year-old agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract to keep the core of LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Bridges together. This comes after Charlotte saw his potential when he exploded for multiple 40-point games last season.

He averaged 21.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists last season. He was statistically and visually one of Charlotte’s most productive players.

Steve Clifford Stepping Down As Head Coach Of The Hornets

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets will begin their head coach search earlier than expected after it’s been learned Steve Clifford is done coaching the team.

While the organization was open to the idea of him returning as coach next season, Clifford cited he didn’t have the commitment to return as head coach.

Jeff Peterson and co-owners Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin will transition the 62-year-old to a front-office position.

After coaching the Orlando Magic for three seasons, Clifford returned to the Hornets in 2022.
