Clippers consider trade for LaMelo Ball as they evaluate roster options

The Los Angeles Clippers may pursue a trade for LaMelo Ball from the Charlotte Hornets. Ball is having a standout season, averaging 31.1 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game. His addition could enhance the Clippers' championship chances. However, the Hornets view Ball as a key player and are unlikely to trade him without a significant offer. The Clippers would need to provide a strong package, potentially including All-Star Norman Powell, to entice Charlotte. While the trade is seen as unlikely, the Clippers are monitoring the situation. Ball's youth and talent could address the Clippers' need for elite young players, making him an attractive target.
