I don't really understand that one from either side. The Hornets presumably just drafted Mark Williams to be their center of the future and IMO he fits better with Melo as a rim running big on offense. Not to mention, if they don't re-sign Miles Bridges with the allegations coming to light they would be even thinner at the forward spots and overly heavy at guard. Hield adds some outside shooting that they need but I don't think that's reason enough to pull the trigger.
And for the Pacers, I like Washington but I don't know if he really moves the needle and he's headed for a payday. And I can't imagine anyone counts on Hayward to stay healthy and contribute.
This might be the rare trade that makes both teams worse.

Hard to believe Buddy's value has fallen that far that he's now viewed mostly as a toxic contract, but I think you're right.
And for the Pacers it clears things up to have Haliburton, Mathurin, and Duarte be your main guards, and I'm guessing they'll often all share the floor. Washington is a nice fit with that group and adds versatility as a small ball center in certain matchups but it makes me wonder who their starting 5 would be.
Which is also why I wonder if this deal was being discussed when the Pacers thought they'd be adding Ayton. Then everything makes a lot more sense.

Chima Moneke‘s new contract with the Kings is a two-year, minimum-salary deal that includes a partial guarantee in year one, Hoops Rumors has learned. Currently, only $250K of Moneke’s $1.02MM salary for 2022/23 is guaranteed, but that figure will increase to $500K if the forward isn’t waived before Sacramento’s first regular season game.
The second year of Moneke’s contract is non-guaranteed, but his 2023/24 salary would become partially guaranteed for $250K if he plays at least 1,000 minutes in ’22/23 and his team wins 41 games. Moneke’s full $1.72MM salary for ’23/24 would become guaranteed if he remains under contract through June 30, 2023.

“But my agent told me it was going to happen. Brown brought the two assistant coaches from Nigeria, and I had a great relationship with them. The reason I came to Manresa is Jordi Fernandez. I have a close relationship with him, and he is the biggest reason it happened this time, too,” Moneke added. Asked about his upcoming role with the Kings, Moneke admitted that he doesn’t think too much about it and wants to earn everything. “I have to get there and just be who I am,” said Moneke. “I do not want anyone to give me anything, I want to work for it. When I get there, I will start training and prove that I belong. I will not be afraid of anyone. I will find my way in rotation.”

Bring it Moneke!
Rumors are saying Jazz want 5-7 1st round picks for Mitchell and players. They want a better Gobert package.
I’m almost certain the Kings name being thrown around in these Mitchell talks is to be a third party. Mitchell just doesn’t make any sense for this team. The Raptors are rumored to be hot in pursuit of Mitchell however, and if that’s the case I’d assume OG is on the move. Now I could see the Kings trying to third party for a trade involving OG
