Proposed trade that sees Hornets’ add Lonzo Ball misses the mark

In a May 11 article for Bleacher Report, Greg Swartz postulated the idea of the Charlotte Hornets acquiring Lonzo Ball (among others) in return for Gordon Hayward. The idea behind the trade is that the Chicago Bulls get another wing scorer to pair with DeMar DeRozan, and the Hornets add another Ball brother to keep LaMelo happy.

However, for me, the injury that Lonzo Ball is dealing with, and the limited offensive upside from the trade, misses the mark. Overall, the trade proposal looks like this:

Hornets get: Lonzo Ball, Dalen Terry, and Derrick Jones Jr.
