# Charlotte Hornets offered No. 14 pick and future asset to Warriors in 2026 Draft
The Charlotte Hornets made a bold trade proposal to the Golden State Warriors during the 2026 NBA Draft, offering their No. 14 overall pick and a future draft asset to move up to No. 11. The Warriors, however, opted to stay put and select a win-now talent.
Last result: New York Knicks 96-110 Charlotte Hornets (2026-04-12).
What was the Hornets’ trade offer?
According to NBA insider Anthony Slater, the Charlotte Hornets were willing to package their No. 14 pick with a future selection to entice Golden State. The Warriors, though, decided against trading down, prioritizing immediate impact over additional draft capital.
Why did the Warriors decline?
Golden State’s front office believed the No. 11 pick, Lendeborg, provided more value than moving back three spots. The Hornets’ offer could have landed the Warriors prospects like Hannes Steinbach, Bennett Stirtz, Labaron Philon, or Cameron Carr-all linked to Golden State pre-draft.
How does this impact the Hornets?
The Hornets, fresh off a 110-96 win over the New York Knicks on 2026-04-12, continue to build through the draft. With recent form at 2W-0D-3L (WWLLL), the franchise remains aggressive in acquiring young talent to bolster their roster for playoff contention.
The Thunder also proposed a trade, offering future second-round picks for Golden State to drop one spot to No. 12. Yet, the Warriors stood firm, signaling confidence in their draft strategy.
