Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte Hornets Receive: G Patrick Beverley, G Kendrick Nunn, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Terry Rozier
Who says the Los Angeles Lakers have to trade for a big man to weather Anthony Davis’ absence?
After all, Davis is one of the most productive offensive players on this team, regardless of position. Replacing that production may be the key to weathering his absence.
Terry Rozier won’t do so perfectly, but he will do so serviceably. Meanwhile, his fit alongside the rest of this roster is obvious. As a shot-creating, floor-spacing guard, Rozier would complement everyone on this team.
Meanwhile, the Hornets ought to be done with him. They’re among the worst teams in the NBA, and ought to be prioritizing future assets over win-now pieces.
