## Resource

The Charlotte Hornets are soaring up the rankings—now ninth—thanks to bold offseason moves that shook up their roster. Trading LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges may seem risky, but it paid off big time: they landed Naz Reid, future draft picks, and key players like Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale. They also kept Coby White, a priority from last year’s trade. While their sixth-overall pick Tidjane Salaün didn’t pan out, they snagged promising talents like Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James. Last season’s leap—from 19 to 44 wins—and a historic road win streak show they’re building something special. Coach Charles Lee locked in for the long haul, and Brandon Miller’s recovery is expected to be a major boost. The Hornets are primed to make noise this year.
