BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
LaMelo really brought the feeling back to Charlotte in 2020. Was essentially a global celebrity and fully embraced one of the smallest and most historically insignificant basketball markets without skipping a beat. He will always have a fan in me.
Here are the pick swaps the Hornets received in the Timberwolves deal for LaMelo Ball:
2028: Hornets get more favorable of CLT/MIN
2029: Hornets already owned the least favorable of the UTA/CLE/MIN picks straight up. I think the Hornets will now be entitled to swap their own pick with the second-most favorable of the bunch.
2030: Hornets get the opportunity to swap with the least favorable of SAS/DAL/MIN unless the MIN pick ends up first overall.
So essentially one unprotected swap in 2028, and two that are very unlikely to result in much.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
The #Panthers and WR Jalen Coker agreed to terms on a 3-year extension worth $35M with incentives up to $41M, per agent @glose_matt.
This deal comes now for Coker, who was set to be an exclusive rights free agent this year and an RFA next year. He’s set to be free again at 27.
