LaMelo Ball Trade The Brooklyn Nets Must Consider

LaMelo Ball is coming off another year where he dealt with injuries and only appeared in 22 games.

That said, he was still fantastic when he was on the floor and finished the regular season with averages of 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 43.3% from the field and 35.5% from the three-point range.

Ball will have a massive contract extension kick in next year that will pay him over $35 million annually until the 2028-29 season.
