I would be so mad if I was a Hornet fan and they try to be competitive this year. That team is in no where land even when healthy. Tank and if they get lucky, that team looks a lot better moving forward.They control (or the new team) PJ’s next contract with him being a restricted FA, so getting full value out of him (or not trading him at all if the idea is to tank for just the 1 season) is not in question. The question is what is Hayward and/or Rozier’s value in trade around the league, not around fan circles.
But I would be having a fire sale for all their high priced veterans. It is a sellers market (I think) and they can find takers for most of them.
If the goal is to reduce salary and the Mavs are the trade partner, Rozier almost has to be added to maximize the salary reduction due to THJ’s salary matching (almost) necessity.
