As with trade number one, this deal hinges on what the Charlotte Hornets opt to do.
If they take Brandon Miller, that means Scoot Henderson is on the board. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic could use a point guard.
They shouldn’t hesitate to part with two lottery picks to get the best one in the draft.
On the other hand, the Toronto Raptors could prefer quantity over quality here. If they’re rebuilding around Scottie Barnes, they could prefer the opportunity to bring in two lottery picks over one higher one.
