## Resource

Charlotte Hornets are passing on a Domantas Sabonis trade, having already secured Naz Reid in the LaMelo Ball deal. Sabonis, locked into a massive contract and a rebuilding Kings roster, doesn’t fit Charlotte’s “win now” mission — they’re just one game shy of playoff contention and ready to roll with their new core: Coby White, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Naz Reid, and Moussa Diabate. With a stacked bench and a loaded schedule starting against the Nets and Hawks, fans are watching closely to see if this group can finally end Charlotte’s 11-year playoff drought.
