Hornets fans I know you probably think i'm an idiot right now but this actually makes sense for you. - Hornets do this because of salary reasons, they're not a team that pays the luxury tax and with guys like Bridges, Washington and Oubre soon to be free agents tuning Hayward 2yr/60mil into 3 1yr/10mil contract saves them alot of money and gives them flexibility.

Blazers do this deal because of Lillard, they need to add talent to make him happy and Randle is that. - 20/10 player who can get his own shot, you add a solid rotation wing in Holiday and keep your 20mil exception to still go after Jeremi Grant or another player.

Kings are trying to make the playoffs next year so why not add one of the best 3pt shooters in Fournier to open up the floor for Fox/Sabonis, Reddish is still a questionmark but talent is definitely there, you move back to 7th and a future 1st.

Rockets want talent so they give up two 1st that's gonna be in the 20's for a lottery pick.

Knicks draft Ivey at 4 and Eason or another big wing at 15. - We add 3 future 1st for a big trade later down the road and we get two vets. - Holmes fills the hole for Mitch who's most likely leaving and Hayward comes in and starts at the 3, with his injury history he doesn't block any young player.
