LaMelo Ball Clowned On After Video Of Charlotte Penthouse Goes Viral; Compared To A Vape Shop Or Middle School Boy's Dream

Charlotte lacks proven point guard depth after losing LaMelo Ball, and Westbrook averaged 15.2 points and 6.7 assists last season, one scout said.

  • The Hornets are considering signing veteran Russell Westbrook following the trade of star guard LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Lucas Johnson of FanSided recently identifying Charlotte as a top potential landing spot.
  • Charlotte lacks proven point guard depth after trading their primary playmaker, Ball, as current guards Coby White, Tre Mann, and rookie Christian Anderson are not traditional table setters.
  • Westbrook will turn 38 years old next season but remains productive, averaging 15.2 points and 6.7 assists with the Sacramento Kings last season. One NBA scout cautioned, "Hes not going to fit into a system," the scout said.
  • A veteran ballhandler like Westbrook could provide stability for the young roster, with enough shooting in the starting five that he could start next to White or contribute off the bench.
  • Meanwhile, Ball faces a lawsuit from Agape Property Management Group, owned by Cam Newton's father, for more than $280,000 in unpaid rent and HOA compliance fees related to his time in Charlotte.
