Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal 

It certainly does. Davis Bertans is a great floor spacer, but he’s a distinct defensive liability. The Hornets could insert him into their rotation and not worry about racking up wins.

Still, he won’t move the needle like Rozier. 

All told, this deal will help the Hornets to continue to bottom out. Of course, that’s not their only incentive to move Rozier here.
