As rare as it is for teams to be able to buy low on superstars on the trade market, the opportunity to make it happen suddenly rose earlier this week with LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. It would be a gamble, because of his injury history, but one with minimal risk, given the LA Clippers could land the Chino Hills prodigy for John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
Amidst a rough 4-11 start, Hornets star guard LaMelo Ball has grown increasingly frustrated with the organization and is open to a trade, league sources tell @YahooSports.
