Making the Case: Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets are becoming a competitive team in the Eastern Conference and it is because of the play of their guards.
How would some depth impact the rotation moving forward? That is what Divincenzo would bring behind Rozier and LaMelo Ball, who is looking like an All-Star caliber guard.
Holmes recently signed a four-year deal with the Kings but struggled with injuries this season. The Hornets are not deep in the frontcourt and would jump at the chance for another option. DiVincenzo would join a fast-paced offense where shots can go up quickly.
Ultimately, this is a deal that would open room for the Hornets. Gordon Hayward has two years left on his contract where he is owed upwards of $61 million. This is a commitment that the Hornets want to get out of before they have to pay the likes of Ball and Miles Bridges.

The time is coming for Charlotte to lock down their core and potentially add another legitimate piece to a competitive roster.
Hayward’s contract has to be the one thrown away in a trade if possible. The Hornets will not get stars in return because of the financial commitment but they can add some more depth pieces that will produce in the rotation immediately.
