Warriors can atone for brutal draft mistake with blockbuster LaMelo Ball trade

Taking James Wiseman second overall at the 2020 NBA Draft will go down as one of the most brutal mistakes the Golden State Warriors have made this century, particularly given future All-Star guard LaMelo Ball was there for them to take before going third to the Charlotte Hornets.

Now the Warriors could have an opportunity to atone for that mistake, with the potential of a blockbuster Ball trade suddenly on the table according to a report on Thursday surrounding his future at the Hornets.
