So incase you just found out, the Hornets traded Dorian Finney-Smith for Buddy Hield and Ryan Nembhard

Here is the new and somewhat realistic (based off rumors in the past).

• Hornets Receive : Domantas Sabonis, Jonathan Mogbo, 1st round pick

• Kings Receive: Naz Reid, Buddy Hield, Grant Williams

The Kings also sign Jalen Duren. Duren has yet to resign with the Pistons and based off Ausar Thompson's new contract, I highly doubt he resigns. Duren has also been rumored to the Kings.

The Hornets now have 17 players on contract and still need to cut 2 players. We waive Pat Connaughton and Liam McNeeley

So here is the Hornets new and improved lineup

• Starters

• PG - Coby White

• SG - Kon Knueppel

• SF - Brandon Miller

• PF - Domantas Sabonis

• C - Moussa Diabate

These starters have great scoring abilities with White, Kon, Miller and Sabonis and have great rebounding with Diabate and Sabonis. Good enough defense overall. Very lengthy as well

Bench 2nd string

• PG - Dennis Schroder

• SG - Grayson Allen

• SF - Royce O'Neale

• PF - Tidjane Salaun

• C - Ryan Kalkbrenner

This 2nd string unit has good all around scoring. Schroder can playmake and Allen and O'Neale are bucket getters. Salaun has to still improve and so does Kalkbrenner.

Bench 3rd string

• PG - Ryan Nembhard

• SG - Christian Anderson Jr

• SF - Sion James

• PF - Jonathan Mogbo

• C - Hannes Steinbach

A small backcourt but for a third string, it is not horrendous.

2-ways

• PG - Kylan Boswell

• PF - Michael Ajayi

• C - PJ Hall

DID I COOK? AND WHAT SEED IS THIS? Maybe a 9 or 10 seed in my opinion
