As the Charlotte Hornets navigate their way through another disappointing season, one of their options leading up to the trade deadline won't include moving LaMelo Ball.
Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hornets have "no intention" of trading Ball, who is considered "one of their building blocks" with rookie Brandon Miller.
Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, has shown promising signs during his rookie campaign. He's averaging 14.3 points on 36.8 percent three-point shooting in 30 appearances.
The Hornets have lost 13 of their last 14 games and own the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference at 8-26 overall.
