Clippers predicted to pry away former No. 3 overall pick from Hornets via trade

The LA Clippers might surprisingly trade for another superstar before February 6, creating a potentially nuclear Big 3.

LA has more than stayed afloat without Kawhi Leonard, thanks in large part to the elite play of Norman Powell. However, the Clippers could capitalize on Powell’s immense trade value by featuring him in a trade to the Charlotte Hornets, Fadeaway World’s Eddie Bitar suggested on Saturday.

Bitar believes the Clippers could pry LaMelo Ball away from Charlotte by offering a package of Powell, Bones Hyland, Terance Mann, Kevin Porter Jr., and a 2031 first-rounder.

“Clippers acquiring LaMelo Ball would be a blockbuster move that instantly elevates their championship hopes,” Bitar said.
