In a recent NBA trade, the Charlotte Hornets and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed on a deal involving draft picks. Charlotte is set to receive a lightly-protected top-two protected 2027 first-round pick from Dallas. In return, the Hornets will send two second rounders to the Mavericks, specifically Boston’s 2024 and the less favorable of Charlotte’s and the LA Clippers in 2028. The deal raises questions about how the Mavericks will manage this commitment, as they have already committed first-round picks in two different reported deals and have only one first-round pick available to trade.
