The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly open to dealing "almost all their veterans" as the NBA's Thursday trade deadline approaches.
ESPN's Zach Lowe dropped that report in his latest article Friday.
"It's hard to read anything into [LaMelo] Ball's season," Lowe wrote. "He has missed half of it. The Hornets are in shambles—and in trade talks about almost all their veterans, per league sources."
The 15-38 Hornets are playing out the string of a disappointing season after making the play-in tournament each of the past two years as a 10th-place team.
They sit second-to-last in the 15-team Eastern Conference ahead of only the rebuilding 13-39 Detroit Pistons, who sport the NBA's worst record.
