Hornets get:

SG Zach LaVine

2027 CHI FRP(Top 10 protected)

Bulls get:

SF Cody Martin

PG Vasilje Micic

Why the Hornets do this:

They have a hole at SG, and they take a low-risk, high-reward gamble on LaVine. If it works out, then the Hornets have a hole solved and will climb up the standings in the East. If not, at least they get an extra first.

Why the Bulls do this:

They get LaVine off their hands, and can start tanking.
