Trade Package From Greg Swartz Of B/R

Charlotte Hornets Receive: No. 1 pick

Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: No. 3 pick, 2022 first-round pick (lottery protected)

The logistics for this particular trade package is quite simple since there are no contracts involved. The main stipulation is the 2020 first-round pick going to the Minnesota Timberwolves being lottery-protected.

There would be a change in the rookie scale payout for each team in this scenario. The Hornets would owe the prospect they select $8,567,800 during the upcoming season.

There would be a noticeable difference in salary the Timberwolves would owe their first-round pick by moving down by two selections. Minnesota would owe their prospect $6,884,000— meaning a difference of almost $1.7 million.
