Since the lottery, questions have been buzzing about in regards to who the Hornets will select at two. They have 2 real choices; Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller. Scoot is the better prospect, but Miller is a better fit, and is deemed in NBA circles as having the higher floor. But what if we just traded our stresses away? The Trailblazers would get to take their choice of the two, rather than just eating the leftovers. They could begin their transition into a new era with Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons, and their choice at 2, as Damien Lillard fades into the backdrop, whilst the Hornets get an elite player anyway, this time just getting more value for their choice. Here's my idea:
Hornets Receive:
3rd Pick (via Portland)
23rd Pick (via New York)
Matisse Thybulle (4.1M/3yrs) (Sign and Trade)
Trailblazers Receive:
2nd Pick (via Charlotte)
41st Pick (via OKC)
I like the idea!
