## Resource

The Charlotte Hornets pulled off a bold, future-focused trade, sending LaMelo Ball to Minnesota for Naz Reid, a 2033 first-round pick, and a haul of future draft assets. Team president Jeff Peterson admitted the move won’t win over fans—but insisted it’s essential for building a championship contender, not just a play-in team. With Reid set to start, the Hornets are betting big on long-term growth, even as they bid farewell to a star who never saw playoff action despite his elite talent.
