Hornets get: Justice Winslow and Dion Waiters

Heat get: Nicolas Batum, a 2022 1st round pick (top 4 protected), a 2024 2nd round pick and a 2025 2nd round pick

Hornets do this to help build a team around a young core on the same timeline for the future.

Heat get Batum who can provide defensive versatility when Butler isn't on the floor. They also get out of Waiters dead contract.

It feels like you’d need a third, rebuilding team in the deal, who could send MIA a good win-now player, rather than the pick.

Funny, because I question whether they shoukd be getting that first anyways. The 2 seconds should be enough.

Also forgot to say, Miami get the picks to give them more leverage in trades in the future rather than keeping them. Batums short contract also keep them in the Giannis 2021 sweepstakes.

How is Charlotte going to build around anybody when they're trading 3 picks?
