## Resource

The Hornets just pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves in a deal that nets them draft riches, Naz Reid, and future flexibility — but at a steep cost: the electrifying energy and swagger that carried them on a 16-3 tear last season. While the move could unlock Brandon Miller’s potential and open cap space, replacing Ball’s intangible magic is a huge gamble. The Hornets traded their spark — and now they’re left wondering if they’ve built something sustainable or just traded away their soul.
