Report: The Charlotte Hornets Sign Ex-Philadelphia Eagles Star Player For 2 Years Deal…
Kelly Oubre Jr., a former Charlotte Hornet, is anticipated to sign a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
One of the important undrafted players in free agency who was awaiting a roster call-up was Kelly Oubre Jr. Many believed that he would be among the more sought-after players available in free agency, but it soon became apparent that this was not the case. With the preseason approaching in a few weeks, Oubre will have a short transition to a new team.

There are several things to consider regarding Oubre and the implications of his one-year contract signing. Although Oubre has been searching for a long-term home, this one-year contract suggests that he may try to recoup his value and test the market in the upcoming offseason.
The Charlotte Hornets were where Oubre played for the last two seasons. Oubre was coming off a great year in which he averaged 5.2 rebounds and 20.3 points per game while playing for the Hornets. Last season, Oubre significantly developed and enhanced his game, turning into a fan favorite with the Hornets. Charlotte will undoubtedly find it difficult to watch Oubre leave, and the club will undoubtedly miss his tenacity and fire each night.

Oubre had said before that he loved playing in the Queen City and that he wanted to rejoin the Hornets. The Hornets ultimately made the decision to move on since Kelly Oubre Jr. was starting to run out of room on the roster with the arrival of Brandon Miller and the rise of some of the young players. Above all, the Hornets’ lack of attempt to re-sign Kelly Oubre Jr. was mostly due to the re-signing of Miles Bridges.
The Philadelphia 76ers are expanding their roster by acquiring a crucial player. Oubre will give their team much-needed shooting depth, as well as elite intensity and athleticism. With the 76ers, where Joel Embiid, the MVP of the previous season, is hoping to lead the team to an NBA Championship, Oubre will be happy to play a fairly significant part as a sixth man.
