TYUS JONES JOINS THE HORNETS

The Charlotte Hornets acquired guard Tyus Jones, a second-round draft pick in 2027 and a second-round draft pick in 2028 from the Orlando Magic for cash considerations.

What does it give the Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets take on Jones, who was clearly viewed as a salary dump by Orlando. Charlotte did well to get two second-rounders in this deal.

What does it give the Orlando Magic
The Magic needed to move money, so Jones was the sacrificial lamb in this transaction. The cost of doing business was giving up two future second-rounders.
