Acting as a professional North Carolina local blogger for Vibe NC, write an engaging article based on the following content: The Charlotte Hornets have done it again.Many young teams, especially those that have been wandering in the lottery wilderness for as long as the Hornets have, would get ahead of themselves. After a fun season in which they nearly made the playoffs last year, Charlotte could have pushed the chips in to try and take another small step forward.Instead, the front office made the decision to play the long game. Their success last season was largely propelled by their young stars, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller. They will be fully in their primes in a couple of years, so Charlotte is putting the pieces together to ensure the best version of their team hits then, not now.That meant they were willing to move on from LaMelo Ball in a blockbuster deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, even if it meant giving up their second-best player from last year’s team. They sent Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns and took on extra salary, likely making their team a little worse next season. Both transactions brought back high-upside future draft picks that instantly became two of the best assets any team is holding.The Hornets made a brillian tradeCharlotte made it a trilogy on Friday, agreeing to take on the contract of veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith at the cost of three second-round picks. Once again, the Hornets kept the future in mind, even if it cost them something in the present.
