Maybe a hot take, Melos price potentially peaked. Playing 72 games and competing in the play in. I see it as a good time to sell for the hornets, who fill a position of need. Seems pretty clear that Melo didnt fit the brand of basketball that CHA is striving for. W for both teams

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.

From a fantasy perspective, at face value this looks like an improvement for both Claxton and Randle on the production side of things.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.

Dejounte Murray finds a new home in New Orleans. This trade creates a great opportunity for Dejounte as a franchise PG. Dyson Daniels should see a better fit on a Atlanta team looking to let prospects flourish.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Full trade on ESPN: Dejounte Murray for Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels, 2025 first-round pick (via Lakers), 2027 first-round pick (least favorable of Bucks-Pels)

The Knicks add a durable player and good shooter to have around Jalen Brunson. Though this does feel like an overpay after a disappointing season for Mikal on a struggling Nets team.

BKN Nets now possess the tools that they need to revamp their future.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

The Knicks are sending four unprotected picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031) a 2025 protected Milwaukee first, a 2028 unprotected pick swap and a 2025 second-round pick for Mikal Bridges and a 2026 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
