Collin Sexton mock trade: Finding a new home for Charlotte Hornets guard

Sexton has been a strong bench scorer for the Hornets, averaging 15.2 points and 4.1 assists this season.
The mock trade links Sexton to the Houston Rockets, proposing a deal centered on expiring contracts and draft picks.
The proposed package includes three second-round picks to entice Charlotte to take on VanVleet’s salary considerations.
The trade scenario uses 2026, 2027, and 2029 second-round picks from Chicago, Portland, and Sacramento as the backbone of the deal.
The analysis notes VanVleet’s $25 million option for 2026-27 and whether he would opt in based on injury recovery and team fit.
The piece emphasizes Sexton’s expiring contract as a driver for potential trade targets and asset accumulation.
The Hornets’ need for more playmaking from the backup point guard role is highlighted as a rationale for considering Sexton moves.

The author notes this is a hypothetical, illustrating how midseason moves can hinge on contracts and draft capital.
