It might be the end of the LaMelo Ball era, as he has reportedly "grown increasingly frustrated" with the Charlotte Hornets. And as it turns out, the team is also "open" to trade him elsewhere.
That is quite a bombshell of a rumor, even if it makes sense for both sides to decide that it's time to part ways. Ball has not been himself in the past games, and though no one will probably admit it, his injury may be a lingering issue for the foreseeable future. He has also been mired in an extended shooting slump this season, with his field-goal percentage dipping to below 40 percent.
