Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[KillerLeft]

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.

But weren't there actual picks changing hands, too, or did I dream that part?

EDIT: Ah, I see...some of them were 2nds.
