Al Jefferson was a marquee free agent signing for the Charlotte Hornets two years ago. But over the past couple seasons, injuries and a league-wide shift away from plodding low-post scorers have marginalized Jefferson's ability to impact games. 

Will he be back in Charlotte next year? Or, more importantly, will the Hornets look to trade him before February's deadline? Here's a closer look, courtesy of the Charlotte Observer:

Jefferson is having his worst season since he was 22 years old. His numbers are down across the board, and, at 31, he isn't getting any faster as a pick-and-roll defender. 

But maybe there'll be a team out there that's looking for solid, dependable post play. If so, they should probably give Charlotte a call.
