The first trade is a package that gets rid of some youth for the Charlotte Hornets organization.

Trade Analysis: So for this trade, the Hornets would give away some youth in first-round pick Miles Bridges, and obviously, Terry Rozier is an absolute stud. We are paying him a hefty 19 million dollars a year, which is comparable to the 21 million dollars that the Pacers are paying Oladipo.

Oladipo is an amazing young talent, and even though he battled a recent injury, he is still very capable of being one of the best two-guards in the league.

Sending Bridges to Indiana really sweetens the deal because it gives them a young talented player and a high second-round draft pick that can turn into asleep in this year’s upcoming draft.

Unlike the Celtics, the Hornets can spend more youth to the Pacers and may give the Hornets Oladipo, who can recruit two or three other disgruntled players across the league.
