If it's just shedding payroll, then a lot of teams can get into the mix.
Gotta think it's a combination of everything.
Losing the face of your franchise won't sit well with your fan base if you just shed cap space. When you lose your franchise player, gotta get pieces to restructure your roster.
With all that said, it's kinda wild how all of this is coming out now, considering the Hornets don't have to budge for another two years. Yeah, he's likely going to leave, but they're in no rush to trade this dude.
