The Oklahoma City Thunder sent Charlotte a 2019 second-round pick and cash in exchange for the 45th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft (Hamidou Diallo). In this edition of Buzz City Beat, we look at the Charlotte Hornets‘ draft day trade involving Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, an upcoming deadline for Treveon Graham, and three players set for National Team Duty.
Lawrence Frank, when discussing the Clippers’ trade up to get Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander, said there were other teams trying to trade up for the Hornets’ No. 11 pick to get Shai because they knew the Clips and Shai were interested in each other.
