This trade when u first see it looks very laker bias, but once you analyze all moving the parts it makes sense. The picks from lakers would have to be figured out in that who gets what pick and I’m sure some 2nd round picks would play a role also.

Hornets do this deal to get off the long term money of scary terry while getting a player who can help create some identity to that team. Last two years that got knocked out the play-in n looked uncompetitive Russ for all his faults raise the floor of bad teams like the wizards n scary terry contract might be a bad one if the hornets have do s quick rebuild.

Not going over the lakers part in this they should say yes n drive Russ to the airport.

Pacers in my opinion would be the team to say no. I think two first going have go to pacers to get this deal done so maybe two 2nd to the hornets n two first to the Pacers.
