Dorian Finney-Smith appears poised to add yet another franchise to his resume, with reports suggesting the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks are engaged in discussions that could see the veteran forward move to the southeastern division rival.
The proposed trade would involve Hield heading to Charlotte, while Finney-Smith makes the short trip to Atlanta. The deal could be finalized before training camps commence, adding significant roster movement in the lead-up to the new season.
Should the transaction materialize, it would represent the sixth NBA team for the 31-year-old forward during his professional career. Finney-Smith has established himself as a reliable perimeter defender and contributor across multiple stops, making him a sought-after asset for teams looking to strengthen their rosters.
The Hawks and Hornets appear intent on reshaping their backcourt and forward depth, with Atlanta potentially seeing Finney-Smith as an addition to bolster their wing rotation ahead of the season.
Both franchises remain active in the pre-season market as training camps approach, with several deals still in various stages of negotiation across the league.
