The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid and a series of draft picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday.
In addition to Reid, the Hornets will receive a 2033 unprotected first-round pick and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033). Charlotte also gets first-round pick swaps in 2028, 2029 and 2030.
The Hornets fielded aggressive offers in recent days from multiple teams pursuing Ball. The Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers were among the teams going after the point guard, sources told ESPN.
Ball had been happy in Charlotte, and both parties were in a good place after the Hornets enjoyed a massive turnaround last season and fell one play-in win short of making the playoffs and ending a postseason drought that dates to 2016.
