Proposals Link Hornets’ Naz Reid to Pistons, Lakers

Charlotte’s 3-7 start and a growing list of injuries have fueled speculation about Naz Reid’s future after his offseason move to the Hornets. Bill Simmons suggested Reid may not want to be in Charlotte, but reporting cited in the articles says the team had received trade calls and planned to keep him; no source indicates the Hornets have made him available. Bleacher Report proposed a three-team deal sending Reid to Detroit for Ron Holland II, two Pistons first-round picks and other assets, while a separate Lakers-focused article discusses a possible Los Angeles pursuit without establishing a formal offer. Reid’s expanded role has brought strong production, though one report notes his shooting efficiency is below his career averages.
