Reggie Jackson

The Hornets ended the trade deadline with a trade that sent Mason Plumlee to the Clippers for Reggie Jackson and a 2028 second round pick.

The Charlotte Hornets and guard Reggie Jackson will "likely" agree to a contract buyout after the team.

[Chris Haynes](https://bleacherreport.com/videos/364023-chris-haynes-trade-deadline-recap) of Bleacher Report (h/t [Suns Are Better](https://twitter.com/SunsAreBetter/status/1623781659890880514)) said during B/R's live trade deadline coverage Thursday that the Phoenix Suns would be interested in acquiring Jackson if the Hornets bought out his contract. But Jackson could easily make an impact for a championship-contending team. All signs point to Jackson's parting ways with the Hornets, who are second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings. Jackson will be among top point guards on the open market and will prioritize contending. Hornets set to play younger players down stretch. The Charlotte Hornets and guard Reggie Jackson are likely to agree to a contract buyout, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Charlotte acquired Jackson from the Clippers in a deal for Mason Plumlee.

In addition to Jackson, Haynes names [John Wall](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/walljo01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-09_bbr), [Serge Ibaka](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/ibakase01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-09_bbr) and [Danny Green](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenda02.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-09_bbr) as viable possibilities.

For the season, he has averaged 10.9 PPG and 3.5 APG on .418/.350/.924 shooting in 52 games (25.7 MPG). The Suns are a team to keep on eye on for Jackson if the Hornets complete a buyout, according to Haynes.

Would the Nuggets welcome him back as a boost to Denver’s bench? Jackson’s been with the Clippers for parts of the past four seasons and was traded to Charlotte for former Nugget center Mason Plumlee. But in auditing their roster following the deadline, it’s obvious the Nuggets don’t have much depth in the backcourt. The Nuggets could’ve used Bryant as they put together an underwhelming effort in Orlando on Thursday night, falling 115-104 to the Magic. [Want more Nuggets news? Beyond Murray, Bruce Brown isn’t a natural point guard (though he sometimes plays it), and Ish Smith, while reliable, is probably only needed in the postseason in emergency scenarios.

The Suns are also considered a probable suitor for Jackson, who will likely be bought out by the Hornets.

[Will Barton](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bartowi01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-10_bbr), who is [reportedly](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/wizards-working-on-buyout-for-will-barton.html) working on a buyout with the Wizards, won’t be possible, since NBA rules prohibit a team from re-signing a player it traded during the offseason if he’s waived by his new team during the subsequent season. Charlotte is [considered likely](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/buyout-agreement-likely-for-hornets-reggie-jackson.html) to buy out the veteran guard.

A player of Jackson's caliber could be especially helpful with several teams in the West making major improvements, namely the Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. After trading young guard Bones Hyland to the Clippers, bringing Jackson to Denver could be a great deal on both sides. Jackson is expected to reach a buyout with the Hornets, which acquired him from thee Clippers in exchange for center Mason Plumlee.
