On Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Charlotte is among seven teams that have an interest in acquiring All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell.
It's not every day that we hear Charlotte's name in trade discussions for an All-Star, so it comes as no surprise that fans are excited about the potential star-powered backcourt of LaMelo Ball and Donovan Mitchell.
Unfortunately, I have to pump the breaks on this excitement because of the price that a player of Donovan Mitchell's caliber comes with.
Due to the draft night trade that Charlotte made with the Knicks back in 2021 for the 19th pick (Kai Jones), Charlotte doesn't have control of their first-round picks from 2022-25.
