The Charlotte Hornets seem ready and willing to move on from NBA All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball.
According to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania on Wednesday night, the Hornets are actively engaged in trade talks with “multiple teams” to make a deal for Ball, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft.
“Another NBA star’s name who is picking up steam in the NBA trade market as we finish up NBA draft week and head toward free agency is Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball,” Charania said on Wednesday night. “Multiple teams are strongly pursuing LaMelo Ball and the Hornets are engaged (in talks), I’m told … Ball does want to be in Charlotte but this is an organization fielding some aggressive offers.”
