Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal 

Frankly, we don’t think so. Ball is already allegedly on the fence about staying in Charlotte.

Meanwhile, he’s one of the best young point guards in the NBA. How’s he going to respond if the organization asks him to spend more than half of his possessions as an off-guard? 

After all, that’s what will happen. Henderson’s one flaw as a prospect is his shooting. He won’t offer the same off-ball value that Ball does. They can’t both control the offense at the same time.

So, if Ball is truly unhappy, this feels like an inflection point. The Hornets have the opportunity to start over with a franchise player at the point.

In this deal, they’re supplementing him with two young, complimentary players and three unprotected first-round picks. 

Should the Knicks give up so much for Ball?
