Grant Williams traded to the Orlando Magic from the Charlotte Hornets

Details of the trade

The Charlotte Hornets have traded forward Grant Williams to the Orlando Magic in exchange for a future second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Williams is a 6'6", 240-pound power forward who was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 22nd overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft. He spent his first three seasons with the Celtics before being traded to the Hornets in the offseason.

Williams' stats and fit with the Magic

Williams averaged 6.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last season for the Hornets. He is a solid defender and rebounder, and he can also stretch the floor with his shooting. He shot 37.8% from three-point range last season. The Magic are a young team with a lot of potential, and Williams should be a good fit for them. He will provide them with some much-needed frontcourt depth, and he can help them improve their defense and shooting.

Hornets look to the future

The Hornets are in a rebuilding mode, and they are looking to add young players with potential. They have a lot of cap space, and they could make some more moves before the start of the season. The Magic, on the other hand, are looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2019. They have a lot of young talent, and they are hoping that Williams can help them take the next step.
