Does this make the Hornets instant contenders? ... and does the deal pass?
Mavs use AD to get the #4 pick, their 2027 pick back, and a tank-crew on two-year contracts. They waive and stretch Nurkic to open 2nd slot and get under the tax-line to sign their two picks.
Maybe Wolves like the trade, but the goal is to use Mark Williams and #34 to get Hornets a good veteran shooting guard from a high-payroll team.
