LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets have made it clear there is no truth to the rumor of a breakup in the near future. If that is indeed the case, it only means the Hornets have a short window to transition from rebuilding to contending. So, it's time for them to address the major roster flaws, including the lack of a starting power forward and a backup playmaker.
Some may argue that the latest statements from Ball, who said that the rumor "didn't come from him" and was "false info", and the organization are just a smoke screen to raise his trade value.
