Shannon Brown is being pursued by the Hornets, along with four other teams.

Brown is supposedly close to signing a deal with an unknown team, and if it is indeed the Hornets, he would provide backup to Eric Gordon at SG. Gordon only played nine games last season for the Hornets, so his backup could potentially get major minutes in an effort to keep him healthy. Brown is known to be looking for a multi-year deal, although it is yet to be determined if any team will give him what he wants.
