## Resource

The Hornets just pulled off a savvy, low-risk move, acquiring veteran wing Dorian Finney-Smith from the Rockets for three future second-round picks — no players traded, just draft capital. Finney-Smith, whose minutes dipped last season, brings experience and depth, fitting perfectly as a mentor to younger players like Liam McNeeley. With three years left on his deal — only one guaranteed — Charlotte gains flexibility, while also boosting their draft haul with multiple second-rounders over the next seven years. Expect him to slide into the small forward role and potentially become a trade asset if he clicks.
