Let's get the Ball Brothers into one team shall we? Hornets/Bulls trade

Not so long ago I remember seeing something somewhere, that Hornets would be willing to trade Lamelo Ball? ... Why not entertain the Idea of having the Ball Brothers on the same team.

Hornets In: Vucevic, Jalen Smith, Ayo Dosunmu - mostly to get the numbers to work
Hornets Out: Lamelo Ball

Bulls In: Lamelo Ball
Bulls Out: Nikola Vucevic, Jalen Smith, Ayo

Why for Hornets, get a replacment for Lamelo in Ayo, get a big in Nokola and a decent PF in Smith?.

Why for Bulls, to team the Ball Brothers and see what they can do in a backcourt together.

Trade works on spotrac, but Hornets would need to waive 3 players and Bulls would only have 10 players in roster complaience, I'm sure both teams could manage around this, thoughts?.

Second, I'm sure Charlotte values LaMelo well above this.

Of course, there's also the first issue.

My first thought is that you must really hate the Bulls. My second thoughts is that it doesn’t make sense to “team up” two guys who play the same position. My third thought is that, hey, maybe between the two brothers, you could get a full season. Last year, Lonzo played in 35 games, and LaMelo played in 47. Add it up, and you get 82 games!

Oh, also, you can’t trade the same guy to two different teams.

Why? Lamelo is like 6"7 Lonzo 6"6 they can rotate with decent size in the backcourt. Lamelo would be more PG Lonzo more SG, they'de be a good backcourt imo, would love to see it. Edit: I get injuries what not, but still, not like Bulls winning anything anytime soon, maybe some draft capital to be invovled?
