Trade Grades for the LaMelo Ball Trade
Timberwolves - A+++++++
Minnesota FINALLY gets an elite playmaking guard to pair with the Rudy Gobert timeline. One of the best passers in the league and a player who immediately serves as a great table-setter for Rudy's long rolls, Ant can play off the catch a bit more and Minnesota is WAY better than they were with Julius Randle. The defensive infrastructure can more than protect LaMelo. McDaniels will continue to defend ball handlers and LaMelo's positional size allows him to hide on wings
Hornets - D
The Hornets FINALLY had a good season and they stripped away the driving force of it. Little disclaimer here, high slips and ghosts to get Kon the ball in advantage won't work quite as well with a 6'0" point guard instead of a 6'7" guard
Unbelievable to me here. There's a good chance Minnesota conveys zero actual swaps in this deal because Minnesota is just simply better than Charlotte.
I like Naz for the Hornets which saves this from being an F, but man. Why.
If Giannis joined prime Kobe, yall would say that’s a title contender without knowing the rest of the players
Now when Giannis joins a better scorer than Kobe, they are apparently a play in team
Make it make sense
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
period in your life where you start to realize what it is all about and how the game is structured. if you are one of the lucky ones, you realize that life is not a linear battle but a full-on open front where you will have to take care of multiple things at once
