Grade Charlotte Hornets acquire F Xaiver Tillman via trade
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Charlotte adds a reliable big man depth piece in Tillman via trade. Limited headline coverage suggests modest market interest in this mid-tier acquisition overall. Tillman provides solid interior defense and screening ability for a rebuilding roster. Fans view this as a practical but unspectacular roster construction move. Hornets likely seeking complementary frontcourt depth rather than a franchise cornerstone upgrade.
This trade grades out as an overpay (C-) for the Charlotte Hornets, acquiring forward Xaiver Tillman. This move signals Charlotte Hornets' willingness to take a calculated gamble as they look to fill a roster need.
Waived Gs Pat Connaughton and Mike Conley. Acquired G Malaki Branham from Washington and sent G Tyus Jones to Dallas as part of a three-team trade. Acquired F Xaiver Tillman from Boston in exchange for cash and draft considerations.
