Hornets consider sign-and-trade for Pistons center Isaiah Stewart
Summary

The Charlotte Hornets are exploring a potential sign-and-trade deal to acquire Isaiah Stewart from the Detroit Pistons, according to Marc Stein. With Coby White's future uncertain, the Hornets may need to act to strengthen their frontcourt. Stewart, who has two years remaining on his contract valued at $30 million, could provide the team with added interior toughness. The Hornets traded for White but could find him attractive to other teams as they aim to improve their roster before the upcoming season.
