The Hornets just locked in the number 2 pick in the NBA Draft. This move alone likely frees up some playing time for (most likely) their new Shooting Guard of the future in Scoot Henderson. I could see the Hornets moving on from Rozier, and become young and talented roster.
Draft Scoot Henderson at #2
Trade Away Terry Roziers contract and free up some play time for Scoot Henderson.
Sign Free Agents, Jakob Poeltl and Lonnie Walker
Draft Jett Howard at #10
Draft Derek Lively III at #27
Re-sign LaMelo Ball for a 4 year contract worth up to $110M
Re-sign Kelly Oubre Jr. for a 3 year contract worth up to $50M
Hornets Lineup:
PG: LaMelo Ball
SG: Scoot Henderson
SF: Kelly Oubre
PF: P.J Washington
C: Mark Williams
Bench: Derek Lively, Lonnie Walker, Jakob Poeltl
Why The Maverick Accept:
The Mavericks gain a borderline all star player in Terry Rozier to not worry about Kyrie Irvings contract, and they also get a veteran to teach their younger stars. They still stay as somewhat contenders.
