Charlotte/Indiana

[TMurphy3]

Pacers Trade:
Desmond Bane 3.6/RFA
Alek Pokusevski 4.2/RFA
Jalen Pickett/GL
Kenny Lofton/GL
2nd (LAC)

Hornets Trade:
Damian Lillard 23m/2025
*Hornets cover 23m this year 
Andrew Wiggins 12m/2024
*Hornets cover 4.2m this year 

Should be salary neutral for this season so please correct the math if needed.

Pacers confirm.  Hate trading Bane but the East is a beast and been getting crushed with games missed, likely could have still made the playoffs waiting out Banes injury but seeding is going to be important so want to try to keep up.  Think pairing Dame and Steph is worth getting significantly older and Wiggins has been ass this year, but I have been one PF short so this should help get a few extra games a week by just having a warm body.

Will waive Orlando Robinson to clear the needed roster spot.

Hornets confirm.

I love Bane and he fits much better with my teams overall rebuild. Wanted to cash in on dameto get a younger stud. Not going to be able to resign Wiggins and missed my chance of really cashing in on his peak value as he has struggled over the last 18 months.

Kenny and Pickett are two young guys that I think have some nice upside and Poku is a flyer who I’m hoping can get moved somewhere to see some consistent minutes.

With the East as strong as it is right now this moves helps me continue to get younger acquire another pick and exchange dames salary next year for bane who’s 8 years younger.
