Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Smitty]

Can you elaborate? What did I miss?

Here are the pick swaps the Hornets received in the Timberwolves deal for LaMelo Ball:

2028: Hornets get more favorable of CLT/MIN
2029: Hornets already owned the least favorable of the UTA/CLE/MIN picks straight up. I think the Hornets will now be entitled to swap their own pick with the second-most favorable of the bunch.
2030: Hornets get the opportunity to swap with the least favorable of SAS/DAL/MIN unless the MIN pick ends up first overall.

So essentially one unprotected swap in 2028, and two that are very unlikely to result in much.
