Just when it looked like the Toronto Raptors were going to start to throw in the towel and officially move into “seller” territory, LaVar Ball just opened the trade floodgates with his mouth, as one-time Raptors trade target and New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball might be on the move soon thanks to his loudmouthed father’s comments.

While Ball has improved on the offensive end this season, he often finds himself playing third fiddle behind Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, and the Pelicans’ sudden lack of defense has made it almost impossible for them to contend in the West.
