DIENG DEALT TO CHARLOTTE

The Charlotte Hornets acquired forward Ousmane Dieng and a second-round draft pick in 2029 from the Oklahoma City Thunder for center Mason Plumlee.

What does it give the Charlotte Hornets
Dieng is a young raw talent, and getting a second-round pick down the road for veteran Plumlee is good business for the Hornets. That said, is Dieng going to remain with Charlotte?

What does it give the Oklahoma City Thunder
This deal looks like a roster/money transaction for the defending champions, as Plumlee is expected to be waived by the Thunder. The cost was a future second-rounder.
