Charlotte Hornets Receive: G/F Caris LeVert, G/F Isaac Okoro
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Gordon Hayward
Were you expecting to see Jarrett Allen?
That’s fair. After all, the Hornets could desperately use him. You don’t need to tell this organization about roster balance – they have a glaring and obvious need for a quality big man.
We could have sent them Allen in exchange for Hayward and a couple of picks. On the other hand, the Cavaliers must like what they saw from an Allen/Evan Mobley frontcourt duo last season. In all likelihood, they’ll prefer to continue exploring that pairing.
Besides, the Hornets just drafted Duke big man Mark Williams. Surely, they have some faith in him. Moreover, the Hornets could have another big man in mind.
