PLUMLEE PICKED UP BY CHARLOTTE Friday, August 6, 2021
The Charlotte Hornets acquired center Mason Plumlee and forward JT Thor from the Detroit Pistons for center Balsa Koprivica.
What does it give the Charlotte Hornets?
The Hornets have issues at the center position, so the hope is that Plumlee can help out in that area. He is expected to come off the bench in Charlotte, but he also has experience as a starter.
What does it give the Detroit Pistons?
The Pistons decided to part ways with Plumlee, who was the Pistons' starting center for much of 2020-21. That job will now belong to Isaiah Stewart. Detroit also swapped '21 picks with Charlotte here.
Fantasy Impact
Plumlee had more value as a starter in Detroit, so proceed with caution with him. Neither Thor nor Koprivica should be drafted in non-keeper formats. They should only be keeper considerations in very deep leagues.
