NBA Analyst Picks the Charlotte Hornets' X-Factor for 2024-25 Season

The Charlotte Hornets received several assets in the trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder that sent Gordon Hayward out the door. It's a trade that Charlotte won by a mile, even if none of the acquired pieces become more than solid role players. Hayward fell into a very limited role with the Thunder and this summer, he officially retired from the game.

The Hornets received Tre Mann, Davis Bertans, Vasilije Micic, and two second round picks for a guy who ultimately decided to retire just months after the trade went down. Without question the biggest piece of that trade is former first round pick Tre Mann.
