If you're the Charlotte Hornets...
By signing LiAngelo Ball to a two-way contract you can...
1.) Sign Lonzo Ball in free agency for a discounted price
2.) Satisfy LaMelo Ball long term (your franchise player)
3.) Become one of the most-watched teams in the NBA
Do you do it???
LaMelo Ball's $203M maximum rookie extension will include All-NBA incentives that if met will make him eligible for the $243M supermax.
LaMelo reportedly loves life in Charlotte and hopes to spend his career with the Hornets, he wants to bring a banner to buzz city.
Comparing LeBron James vs LaMelo Ball through first 35 games the NBA...
Points - LeBron ❌
Rebounds - LaMelo ✅
Assists - LaMelo ✅
Steals - LaMelo ✅
FG% - LaMelo ✅
3PT% - LaMelo ✅
Remember: LaMelo has started just 15/35 games...
LeBron James on Charlotte Hornets management of Malik Monk last season
“Me and Jason Kidd saw how they (mis)using him... and wondered if there was way to snatch him from their roster”
“It still doesn’t make sense to me how we were able to get him, but we’re happy to have him”
LiAngelo Ball in 2nd NBA Summer league game:
20 Mins Played
10 Points (4-8 FG)
5 Rebounds (3 OREB)
2 Steals (1 TO)
Solid showing from the middle brother..
“I’d only draft LaMelo if he agreed to play in the G League for a year”
Keep sending these awful pre-draft takes my way I’m gonna need em for “One of One Part 2” 🤣🤣🤣
@Dom_2k
bigger than anything in NBA terms, kobe leaving LA is the closest, Messi signed with Barca as a 13-year-old boy. They covered his growing expenses fees, he's been at Barca for 20 years became the greatest player in club history and is now leaving on bad terms at 33 years old.
If the Charlotte Hornets can sign undrafted Caleb Martin to accompany second-round pick, Cody Martin...
Then surely they can justify signing undrafted LiAngelo Ball to accompany NBA rookie of the year, LaMelo Ball...
Almost 2 Years ago
During the NBA’s official award ceremony, Hassan Minhaj joked that LaMelo Ball would “never make the NBA”
Today he won NBA Rookie of the year...
Charlotte Hornets rejects starting 5 (traded or waived)
PG: Shai Gilgeous Alexander
SG: Malik Monk
SF: Caleb Martin
PF: Jalen McDaniels
C: Jalen Durren
The Charlotte Hornets saved their franchise tonight, LaMelo Ball's extension depended on this pick!
They made the unpopular choice and ended up with Bradon Miller who is clearly the better fit, prospect and player.
Tonight was one of the biggest wins in franchise history!
"If you’re turning the ball over five times in 16 minutes, that ain’t gonna cut it for me. If you’re doing that on the offensive end, you better be bringing something defensively."

MALIK MONK EXPOSES JAMES BORREGO 👀
“Borrego sold a dream to me that I was going to play... and as soon as the season started, he went the opposite way”
LaMelo Ball was completely unaware that Michael Jordan (Hornets owner) was in attendance for the NBA All-Star game.
So MJ made the time to acknowledge Luka Doncic (Jordan Brand) but not his franchise star player?
@GoodmanHoops
ESPN literally sent you over to Lithuania to cover this man and his family, Lavar's 'coverage' was paying your bills until HE CUT YOU OFF. Funny how your network is continuously TRASHING him yet have had him on air more than any other guest in the last 2 years.. LIVING RENT FREE!

The NBA Is NOT Ready For The EuroLeague MVP!
The Charlotte Hornets are optimistic about LaMelo Ball returning to the team following successful surgery.
He's set to be reevaluated in 4 weeks and could return late regular season
If you watch the game, you don't see Lonzo Ball
But If you watch Lonzo Ball, you see the whole game
Before judging his play from the box score, remember this quote...
If Gordon Hayward is the “best player” on the Charlotte Hornets...
Then why was the “Buzz City Burgers” All-Star campaign centred around LaMelo, Terry and Miles?
Why wasn’t Hayward included

LaMelo Ball admits he was “bummed” to find out his brother LiAngelo didn’t make the Hornets roster for NBA Training Camp:
Thoughts on Melo’s response? 🤔
Realistically speaking who on the charlotte hornets is a better 3PT shooter than Gelo Ball?
I'll give you Terry Rozier out of respect, and debate you on anyone else
#sorrynotsorry
LaMelo really broke his wrist mid-game and continued to play left-handed
I don't wanna see people questioning his "heart" and love for the game no more..
Curtis Hollis, who played with the Houston Ballers in the JBA League, is joining the Santa Cruz Warriors for G League training camp.
He is the first JBA player (besides ball brothers) to be involved with an NBA organisation.
LiAngelo Ball has been crazy efficient through 10 G League games so far...
Gelo is shooting 64% FG & 58% 3PT!
Not bad for someone who hadn't played competitive basketball since 2018...
Team USA made a massive mistake not taking LaMelo Ball to the Olympics..
His international experience would been invaluable having played professionally in different continents prior to the NBA
