Reporting live for the NBA Draft Show -- the Charlotte Hornets are engaged in LaMelo Ball trade talks as multiple teams strongly pursue the star guard:
@DedicationHoops yeah the little bit of research I did upon seeing the pick he looks really solid, glad that he's got some weight on him to make up for the height
After starting 61 of 72 games last season, Ace Bailey is likely to come off the bench for the Jazz next season, per @Tjonesonthenba
“Utah and its fans can finally start putting together what their team is going to look like. The frontcourt, led by Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr., is athletic and deep. The bench, which will likely be led by Ace Bailey and Isaiah Collier, is ready to add depth to the group overall.”

The Boston Celtics are reportedly looking for a big man and are willing to trade Jaylen Brown to acquire one, per @SIChrisMannix
“Boston continued to discuss Brown trades on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the talks tell Sports Illustrated. Many of the conversations were initiated by rival teams, sources say. Some were brokered by the Celtics. ‘They are hunting a big man,’ says a rival executive. ‘And they are willing to trade [Brown] to get it.’”

@cappa_ok@dilfgirl0 yeah that's the only reason I would hesitate so much from keeping reaves, but if lebron is gone then yeah you can definitely fill needs around your two scorers
@dilfgirl0@cappa_ok I just don't think you can go the distance with luka and reaves eating up that much money, but who knows maybe they can form a team if/when lebron is gone. Think at that dollar amount you just have to do a sign and trade but we'll see
@DedicationHoops friend of mine read the trade off and he and my okc fan friend were freaking out and I just knew that it was going to end up being just to move up one because it made zero sense otherwise
