The Hypothetical Trade
LAL: Terry Rozier, Vernon Carey Jr.
CHA: Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell
We mentioned the big acquisitions of the Lakers in the offseason and this would be the return for Charlotte. The Hornets were one of the teams linked to Harrell in free agency, but were unable to land the big man. Here is the second chance for the Hornets.
It would cost them Rozier and Vernon Carey Jr. The Duke product has played in just three games this season. He would benefit greatly from learning from one of the best bigs in the league in Davis.
For the Lakers, giving up both Harrell and Schroder would be a steep price. But, with the way that Rozier has been playing this season, the price could be worth it.
Let’s break this deal down even further and see how each team would benefit right away.
