Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal 

This may depend on how the upcoming draft plays out for the Hornets. 

After all, they’ve got the number two pick. If they select Brandon Miller, as they’re widely expected to, they may want to hang onto Rozier. Otherwise, they’ll be left without a starting backcourt. 

On the other hand, you’ve got to assume that Scoot Henderson is still on the table. This player was widely regarded as the second-best prospect in this draft for a long time.

If the Hornets pass on him and he reaches his ceiling, they could regret it for a long time. 

If they take him, they should trade Rozier. This deal brings back two quality rotation players. Beasley’s movement shooting and Bamba’s floor spacing will be valuable.
