Knicks Trade For Hornets’ Gordon Hayward In Bold Scenario

NBA Analysis Network

Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal

The Hornets have a few reasons to do this deal.

Firstly, it seems as if Hayward wants out. That’s reason enough to move him. If he’s causing disharmony in the locker room, why not send him elsewhere?

Moreover, Rose would be a solid backup point guard for this team. The Hornets are likely to lose Dennis Smith Jr. in free agency this summer. Rose could fill in as a useful veteran.

Still, the main reason the Hornets get involved here is for the draft capital. No, they’re not getting a first-round pick – Hayward isn’t that valuable anymore. Still, a trio of second-rounders is good value.
