Reese, Pam and Alex discuss where LaMelo Ball ranks among the greatest players in Hornets history following his trade to the Timberwolves and whether he belongs in thr franchise's all-time list or if he falls short.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have officially acquired LaMelo Ball and Josh Green from the Charlotte Hornets in a blockbuster trade. In return, Charlotte receives Naz Reid, an unprotected 2033 first-round pick, first-round pick swaps in 2028, 2029, and 2030, and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, and 2033). In the wake of the trade, fans and media outlets have been debating Ball's legacy in Charlotte. Several publications and podcasts have released their all-time Hornets rankings, including WFNZ, which published its list just yesterday.

Where does LaMelo Ball rank on your all-time Hornets list? Is he a top-five player in franchise history or does he miss your list altogether?
