Magic Land LaMelo Ball
Magic Receive:
LaMelo Ball
If this pays off, the Magic should have the best young core in the NBA. Paolo Banchero looks like a franchise player. Franz Wagner looks like a great secondary option. The Magic will also be adding another lottery pick this season. If they were also able to add Ball, they’d have such an elite young core that they probably wouldn’t be missing these draft picks.

Hornets Receive:
Markell Fultz
Pick No. 9
Two First-Round Picks
First-Round Pick Swap
Ball seems prone to getting hurt. The Hornets have got all of their eggs in what might be a flimsy basket here. This is an opportunity for a new star. Fultz still has the potential to be a great lead guard in this league. Meanwhile, three first-round picks and a swap allow the Hornets to start looking toward the future.
