Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
Of course, before you get a co-star, you need a star. Luckily, the Charlotte Hornets have that covered.
LaMelo Ball is one of the best playmakers in the NBA. At the same time, he doesn’t seem as able to singlehandedly carry his team as Doncic. That’s not a knock on Ball – very few players in NBA history are.
The Hornets need to add another young star to this group. At 4-12, they appeared poised to do so through the upcoming draft. On the other hand, there’s enough talent here to start winning games. This deal is about ensuring the Hornets don’t.
At the same time, it’s also about adding a first-round pick. The Hornets are bad this year, so they might as well focus on the future.

Hopefully, they’ll find Ball’s partner in crime somewhere within it.
