Many Charlotte Hornets fans expected the team to make a couple more moves by the trade deadline after the Coby White deal, but only a few probably expected it to acquire Tyus Jones, a point guard who was high on my wish list before its move to get White. It probably wouldn’t have been that big a deal until it was reported that the Hornets also received two second-round picks.
Late Wednesday night, Shams Charania broke the latest Hornets trade update. This time, he reported their deal with the Orlando Magic, sending their Southeast Division rival cash considerations in exchange for Jones.
