The Charlotte Hornets are looking to bolster their roster by targeting Mitchell Robinson from the New York Knicks. After missing the playoffs, the Hornets aim to secure a strong center entering unrestricted free agency. Robinson averaged 5.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this past season, making him a valuable asset for Charlotte. The team seeks to enhance their playoff chances next season with a core featuring LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller, who all had productive outings this past year. Adding Robinson could solidify their frontcourt.
