Summary
The Hornets just pulled off a seismic trade, sending LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to Minnesota for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-rounder, and more draft assets — completely reshaping their roster. New German forward Hannes Steinbach, who led NCAA rebounding and impressed in Summer League, is now a top contender for the starting center role alongside Moussa Diabaté. That leaves Ryan Kalkbrenner, the former starter who led rookies in blocks but missed time with an elbow injury, in a precarious spot. With his future uncertain, rumors swirl of a potential deal to the Knicks for Pacôme Dadiet and a future second-rounder — a move that could solve both teams’ needs as they gear up for the new season.
