Executives around the league are monitoring the potential availability of LaMelo Ball this offseason, sources told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Luka Doncic's trade to the Lakers has expanded executive's horizon of which star could potentially get dealt next.
Ball is currently in the first year of a five-year, $204 million deal.
Ball is averaging 26.1 points and 7.0 assists per game this year.
Mark Williams and Miles Bridges are two other Hornets players to watch this offseason.
Bridges' three-year, $75 million contract is structured as descending in order to be used as a trade chip.
