Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
By contrast, nobody in the Hornets’ front office is poised for that Executive of the Year award in 2022-23.
The Hornets practically gave Jaden McDaniels to the Philadelphia 76ers at the deadline. They didn’t do anything else. It was the type of poor management that has plagued this team for a while.
It may be time to reset around LaMelo Ball. If this front office agrees, this is a good deal. The Lakers’ 2029 unprotected first-rounder is a particularly valuable asset.
Meanwhile, Beasley is no scrub. This is an elite off-ball player who will complement Ball nicely. If the Lakers are interested in doing this deal, the Hornets should take it.
