The Hornets waived Conley on Thursday.
As expected, Conley will never end up making an appearance with the Hornets, after he was acquired Wednesday from Chicago in a deal that also sent Coby White to Charlotte. Once he clears waivers, Conley will be free to join a team of his choosing. The 38-year-old point guard could even head back to Minnesota, but wherever he winds up, Conley will be more of a veteran locker room presence than an on-court asset.
