Aren't the Hornets looking for bench scoring? This trade actually THINS their bench for a guy who's more of a defensive player.

It's my understanding they are looking for guys that can give them minutes for West and Paul. Not necessarily scoring.

Swift can backup both West and Chandler.

As far as scoring goes, Stro can score the ball too.
