One NBA analyst is predicting that a $203 million All-Star will request a trade this summer.
Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report predicted that LaMelo Ball will request a trade from the Charlotte Hornets this offseason.
"LaMelo Ball isn't publicly pushing for a ticket out of Buzz City," Buckley wrote. "In fact, he's doing the opposite. Yet there's a reason why folks are wondering aloud whether he or the Hornets should consider a split this offseason. There might be 179 reasons, actually, as in the number of losses Charlotte has suffered over the past three seasons.
