Although it would be a challenge to eliminate all of their flaws with a single move, the trade with the highest chance of doing so for the LA Clippers comes through a proposal surrounding LaMelo Ball on Yossi Gozlan’s podcast, “The Third Apron.” The Clippers take the one-time All-Star, while they part ways with John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and a first-round pick.
The Charlotte Hornets likely have no desire to trade their franchise star, but the latest reports indicate that the feeling is not mutual. According to Kelly Iko, a national reporter for Yahoo Sports, Ball is ultimately ready to win, and the 4-11 Hornets are not.
