Hornets/Clippers

Tucker
Kobe Brown
Bones
24 2nd (its complicated)
30 LAC 2nd

for

Washington
Ish (min)
Ntilikina (min)

Hornets get a look at a recent 1st round pick, and an offensive minded guard and get a 2nd now and one way down the road. Tucker is likely trade fodder in the summer or simply a buyout then.

Clippers use some of their minimal assets(but not that last 1st) to get a backup big and hope he returns to form playing off all their stars.

Feels light to me, but I'm not all that familiar with Brown.

I think this makes a lot of sense. CHA can use the two younger players for sure. Tucker will be sad about losing a championship chance, but he wanted PT, isn't getting it and Washington will slot in to a flex F for the Clips really well.

Why is the 2nd complicated for LAC ? is it Toronto's 2nd in 2024 ?

My only question is does CHA value Washington over the two young former first round picks than a future first ? Hornets fans could input here... but I would say Kobe Brown is worth it for the Hornets at this level.

I want Coffey if I'm the Hornets.

No, it’s just subject to several “better of/lesser thans”.

L.A. Clippers will receive the more favorable of (i) Indiana's 2024 second round pick and (ii) the less favorable of the Utah pick and the Cleveland pick

So the Most Favorable of (A or (the Least Favorable of B and C))?

Can swap him with Bones I guess, but I doubt that swings anything for Charlotte.

Coffey can defend his position, well even.

that would be correct, nothing short of a 1st swings it for Charlotte.

Eh, I don't think PJ is worth a first. He's a very bad player and then has a random explosion of good play every 4-6 games. Rather just get off the contract and get a young player back. Hoping for Eason, but I know we would have to add value to that

Probably would pass, none of the players in the deal really do much for me.
If Charlotte is trying to improve culture then Bones isn't really what I am looking for.
Tucker would just get bought out and Kobe Brown was updrafted and really more of a mid 2nd round talent.
