Another move has been made by Jeff Peterson and the Hornets.

Ousmane Dieng was selected by the Thunder with the 11th pick in 2022 and has appeared in 136 games across four seasons in OKC. The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder received center Mason Plumlee from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for forward Ousmane Dieng, who was rerouted by Charlotte to the Chicago Bulls.

If Jeff Peterson, the Hornets’ president of basketball operations, does any kind of wheeling and dealing before the deadline, the premise would be gathering more draft capital to add to the already-growing stable Peterson has collected in less than two full years in charge of personnel in Charlotte.

The Hornets continue to maneuver quite brilliantly on the trade market as they got assets from the Magic for taking on Tyus Jones.

Knueppel joins LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Larry Johnson, Brandon Miller, Raymond Felton and Emeka Okafor as the players in franchise history to collect three rookie of the month awards. No rookie in franchise history has taken the honor more than three times.

Reports are swirling that the Hornets may be in on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

LaMelo Ball overcame an early head-to-head collision with coach Charles Lee to score 24 points, and the surging Charlotte Hornets fought back from a 22-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Pelicans 102-95 for their seventh straight win.
