LaMelo Ball Traded to Timberwolves

The Charlotte Hornets ended the LaMelo Ball era on Thursday, agreeing to trade the one-time All-Star point guard and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for center Naz Reid and a package of seven future draft picks.

The deal pairs Ball with Anthony Edwards, creating one of the most dynamic young backcourts in the NBA and signaling Minnesota's all-in push for a championship.

For Charlotte, the trade launches a full-scale rebuild, with the team quickly extending Coby White to become the new starting point guard.

The substantial draft compensation gives the Hornets significant assets to reshape their roster over the coming years.
