Hornets Land Finney-Smith in Trade
3 Jul
Summary
- Hornets acquire Dorian Finney-Smith from Rockets.
- Three second-round draft picks also included in the deal.
- This move gives Charlotte more draft capital.
The Charlotte Hornets have bolstered their roster by acquiring forward Dorian Finney-Smith from the Houston Rockets. The trade, which also includes three second-round draft picks, was confirmed by a person familiar with the situation. This move significantly enhances the Hornets' collection of future assets, as they now hold 20 second-round picks within the next seven years.
The Houston Rockets, meanwhile, gain valuable roster flexibility following this transaction. This flexibility comes as the Rockets recently acquired Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanovic. The deal also creates a $13 million trade exception for Houston. Dorian Finney-Smith, a 33-year-old player, averaged 3.3 points in 37 games last season.
