"LaMelo Ball is one of the most polarizing stars in the NBA, but if the Miami Heat could pry him away from the Charlotte Hornets at the right price, the lure of adding a player as talented as he is could be too much for the team to pass up. And now that the Hornets are reportedly open to listening to offers for Ball, it's something that the Heat must at least have a conversation about."
"Considering the Heat are always on the hunt for the next star, if Ball were to hit the trade block, it would be foolish for the team to ignore the possibility. If the Heat truly trusts their culture, especially more than perhaps any other franchise in the league, why wouldn't they be open to acquiring a 24-year-old playmaking star guard with plenty of upside?"

Ball's immensely talented, but also incredibly flawed. What will LaMelo Ball's asking price be? Utlimately, I'd still bet against the Heat making a move for Ball.

LaMelo Ball is a polarizing 24-year-old, 6-foot-7 playmaking guard whose combination of talent and flaws makes him both appealing and risky.

Ball's career trajectory has trended downward, making him a potential reclamation project. Acquisition depends on price and risk tolerance. Despite skepticism about a trade happening, due diligence by Pat Riley would be sensible if Ball becomes available.
