The Hornets are out of the Lamelo Ball business, trading him to the Timberwolves on Thursday, ESPN.com reported.
Ball will be paired with Anthony Edwards in exchange for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, and 2030), and three second-round picks.
The move comes after reports that Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards would force a trade from Minnesota in the near future if the team doesn’t improve his supporting cast.
The pairing of Ball and Edwards should be interesting, as the now-former Hornets guard is one of the most divisive stars in the NBA.
Ball played in 72 games last season, the second-most of his career, after suiting up for 105 of a possible 246 games in his first three seasons in the league.
