Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
Make no mistake – that’s exactly what the Hornets would be doing here.
There’s no world in which this deal makes the Hornets better. Beverley is a great defender, and Nunn is a fine rotation guard. Neither is nearly as impactful as Rozier.
THat’s part of the point here. The Hornets are trying to avoid a meaningless late-season winning streak by thinning out their talent. They’ve got eyes for Victor Wembenyama in making this move.
At the same time, landing a future first from the Lakers also holds a lot of value. Again, LeBron James is at the end of his NBA career and they have a horrendous supporting cast. Imagine what will be the case when James outright retires?

In fact, this pick would be among the most valuable assets in the NBA. They can hold onto it to make a big splash move when they are already in a competitive state in the future.
Should the Lakers really give it up?
