Canes instead pursue Horvat in UFA. No reason to give a bunch of good assets for a player they don’t need and would more than likely walk at seasons end. Besides, no reason to screw KK over when he has been a vital part of one of the best lines in the league so far this season.
But for the sake of argument, assuming this does actually happen somehow, the lines would be quite a bit different.

Can’t see Horvat as a Cane unless he agrees to a long term sweetheart deal. Maybe playing games that are actually meaningful is worth more to him than money.
That being said, another reason Canes might not go for this is because they want a winning mindset in their players. Right now, I can’t see them making a move for a roster player from a team that has been compared to a country club.
As for the trade itself, and only if Horvat is willing to resign, drop both the 2nds and replace with the 23 first.
