So, the Hornets can flip Lowry again and use the expiring money to buy low on Zach Lavine. They need another team bc Lowry cant be aggregated with players to make the salary work. Toronto helps out for a second round pick but it could be anybody.

If they Hornets arent tanking (intentional losing) the next few years, then they do it for an all star level co-star for Lamelo to try to build around him and Mark Williams.

Bulls look like they're ready to end things with Lavine. A package that includes two firsts (and former lottery pick Kira Lewis) for a guy making $40m for the next few years with an injury history should interest them. Plus, this clears up money to help them with whichever direction they choose.
