Elevating to Eleven

Charlotte Hornets receive: SF/PF Tobias Harris, C Boban Marjanovic, 2018 13th overall draft pick
LA Clippers receive: PG Kemba Walker, SG/SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, 2018 11th overall draft pick

The Hornets have several bad contracts that they have been trying to lose over the past year or so. Kidd-Gilchrist is one of those. They would replace him with a future All-Star in Harris. Charlotte would have to trade current franchise star Kemba Walker because MKG has very little value with his inability to shoot. Kemba would be the main part of acquiring Harris, but also the teams would swap picks, letting the Clippers still have back-to-back picks only at 11 and 12.
