Grade the Trade: Charlotte Hornets Flip LaMelo Ball for Jaylen Brown

As the Charlotte Hornets look to rebuild their roster, nothing should be off the table. Unfortunately, that means LaMelo Ball should be available if the returning pieces make sense. Of course, not many moves for a future All-NBA level guard are going to be appealing for Mitch Kupchak and the Hornets’ front office, but it would appear that one potential trade could move the needle just enough to make Charlotte sit up and answer the phone.

Recently, Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics has found his name being floated in trade rumors. After making the 2023 All-NBA second team, Brown has become supermax eligible, which has created a divide among the Celtics fanbase, with some sections of the media also claiming the All-Star wing isn’t worth such an outlandish contract.
