Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
The Hornets don’t necessarily need to move Rozier to maximize their lottery odds. They’ve done a perfectly good job of doing so with him on the roster.
At the same time, Ball is back. In fact, he’s looked every bit the superstar we’ve known him to be for a couple of years. The Hornets could get hot and start winning at any moment.
Some will argue that that’s a good thing. Fair. At the same time, the Hornets have the second-worst record in the league right now.
They’d have a lot of ground to make up in order to even qualify for the play-in tournament. With that in mind, a future-focused deal feels appropriate.
