The Charlotte Hornets busy team in the offseason. Their big move to sign NBA star Gordon Hayward to move has paid off so far this season given his individual success. However, the long-term path is to build around LaMelo Ball it seems.
The Hornets signed Terry Rozier to be the point guard. Last season, Devonte’ Graham broke out and paired with Rozier in the backcourt. This did not stop the Hornets from using third overall pick on LaMelo Ball. This gave the team an even deeper backcourt but they struggle down low.
Cody Zeller is in the final year of his contract and will not be re-signing with the team. This means Charlotte could look to improve the position to make their attack more balanced.
The Indiana Pacers could be the perfect trade partner in a deal with the Hornets. Myles Turner is a name that has been floating around in NBA trade rumors off-and-on at times. This would certainly help surely down low.
Indiana would get Gordon Hayward back in the deal, who is an Indianapolis native and played his college ball at Butler. There are many storylines that would be in play here. The Pacers could add Hayward to line up that includes Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis.
This is a deal that would certainly improve both sides. Let’s take a look at what it might take to get a deal such as this one done.
