Dorian Finney-Smith Implicated in Hawks-Hornets Trade Talks

The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets have discussed a potential trade involving Dorian Finney-Smith and Buddy Hield. Finney-Smith, 33, played just 37 games last season due to ankle surgery, putting up career-low numbers. Healthy again, he looks to return to a reliable 3&D role. The deal is not finalized and would likely require additional assets beyond a straight player swap due to salary differences, keeping Finney-Smith firmly in trade rumors as the new NBA season approaches.
