Why the Trade Benefits the Charlotte Hornets
Heading into the NBA season, the Charlotte Hornets remain a one-dimensional team. They are extremely strong in the backcourt and struggle with depth down low. This is a tree that would help the position and add experience to the bunch.
Kevin Love is a player with postseason experience. He is someone who knows how to win and has played with some of the best players in the league. This would be a great mentorship opportunity for the younger generation in the backcourt.
On the court, he would balance the offense and give them a viable option down low. Love is a capable three-point shooter and can stretch the floor well. This would be a move to help improve Charlotte on both ends.
Charlotte is a few years away from contending but if they want to speed up the process, this deal could benefit them moving forward. It will be interesting to see if Sherlock decides to sit on their hands or make a deal for a big.
