#2 Charlotte Hornets
While the Charlotte Hornets are not the most attractive trade option for Lonzo Ball, the Lakers may be interested in swapping Kemba Walker for their young point guard. Walker is already an established All-Star, and the 28-year-old is currently enjoying the best season of his career.
So far this season, Walker is averaging 24.9 points, 6.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, and the guard may be available for trade due to his current contract situation. Walker will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, and it is unlikely that the All-Star will remain on a Hornets team that faces a yearly struggle to reach the playoffs.
Lonzo Ball could also benefit from the move, as the Hornets would provide the youngster with big minutes, and offer him the opportunity to learn from former Spurs guard, Tony Parker. Ultimately, this trade will depend on the Lakers interest in Walker.
