At present, the Hornets have clearly defined the direction of building a lineup around Lamelo Ball, and as a 2020 flower exploration show, Lamelo Ball has indeed had a good enough overall performance. In his second season, Ball averaged 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.
So how can the Hornets change the roster and continue to build a roster around Ball this offseason? Jack Rogers' advice to the Hornets was to put Gordon Hayward on the shelves and push for a deal with the Lone Ranger:
Lone Ranger gets: Gordon Hayward
The Hornets got: Maxi Kléber, Davis Bertans, 2022 first-round picks
In the deal, the Hornets traded back Kléber, Bertans and the 2022 first-round picks with Hayward. In fact, Hayward's trading value is still affected by his injury history, after all, since the 2017-18 season, Hayward has only played 52 games in a single season. Considering his salary, such injury hazards are indeed a problem for the Hornets.
But in the lone ranger team, if Doncic has a veteran player like Hayward around him, this will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on Doncic on the offensive end, and playing behind Doncic will also largely avoid the situation that Hayward is prone to injury because he needs to shoulder more pressure.
Not to mention, the Lone Ranger can also get rid of Bertans' contract in this deal, and it is not unacceptable to sacrifice Kléber and future first-round picks in this case. Overall, this would be a move that would be clearly beneficial to both the Lone Ranger and the Wasp.
