LaMelo Ball Trade The Brooklyn Nets Must Consider

The Hornets are coming off a season where they were the 13th seed in the Eastern Confernece with a 21-61 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs for the eighth straight season.

I believe the Brooklyn Nets should come in with an offer that the Hornets cannot refuse to land Ball.

The Hornets do not look like they will be a playoff team next year, and Ball's injury history is concerning.

That said, the Nets are in need of a star that can help make them relevant and co-star alongside Mikal Bridges.

The Nets have the expiring contract of Ben Simmons, which would make the numbers work.

In addition, they have a lot of first-round picks they could put together as part of a package.

Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson, Dennis Schroder, Noah Clowney and Dariq Whitehead would be other players to entice Charlotte.

While something like this is unlikely to happen, I believe the Nets should try to land Ball (or another player of his caliber) this summer.
