Link?  If it’s no picks it is extremely disappointing. 
 

APNEWS:  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets are sending often-injured small forward Gordon Hayward to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Tre Mann, forward Davis Bertans, point guard Vasilije Micic and second-round draft picks in 2024 and 2025, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal had not yet been approved by the league.

 

Also, I just saw that Bertans is making $17mil a year meaning he and Lowry are taking up almost $50mil/yr.

Hopefully this means that some Kupchick salary cap wizardry is forthcoming.

Earlier on NBA tv said something about a trade exception, but nothing about draft picks.  I guess you just can't trust first reports.

This is win. Gordon never fit on the court and wasn't on it enough.

Lowry’s on an expiring deal, his cap space isn’t relevant to next year.

Never followed him, but Tre Mann’s highlights are VERY impressive.  He was just buried on OKC’s depth chart, but looks to be a promising young asset at PG. 

#18 overall a couple years ago, former 5-star McDonalds AA and Jordan AA.  Dude’s hesi game is nasty.

I couldn’t watch tonight’s game but apparently Tre Mann tore it up in a win. 

If you haven’t watched this highlight clip I posted of him last week, I *highly* recommend it.  

Dude has ridiculous handles, and makes insane moves, especially towards the end of the video.  Super high ceiling.
