However, he couldn&rsquo;t help the Hornets as they are struggling with a 14-45 record. This is the big reason why his future is uncertain in Charlotte. <\/p><p><em>&ldquo;The availability of Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is one of the stars several executives who spoke with HoopsHype will be monitoring on the trade market this summer,&rdquo;<\/em> Scotto said in his report.<\/p><p>Charlotte Hornets would gain a big value in exchange for the 6-foot-7 guard. Meanwhile, the franchise want to carry him in their roaster due to his versatility and playmaking ability. He has guided the franchise to two Play-In Tournament games during his first two seasons. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who&rsquo;s favorite to sign LaMelo Ball this summer? <\/h3><p>If LaMelo Ball leaves the Hornets this offseason, the Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic, and Golden State Warriors are among the favorites to land the 23-year-old guard, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CeckvqPOGi\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Bovada<\/a>.<\/p><p>According to Bovada, the leading sportsbook in the US, here are the odds for LaMelo Ball&rsquo;s potential team for next season:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Houston Rockets +750<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orlando Magic +750<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Golden State Warriors +750<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toronto Raptors +1100<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>LeMelo Ball wants to reach highs in the league and he has an idea that he cannot win something big at Hornets. Charlotte are already in the rebuilding phase under Jeff Peterson and coach Charles Lee. If they allow Ball to leave, they can use big money to buy several future first-round draft picks.<\/p><p>LaMelo Ball is likely to leave the Hornets amid Charlotte&rsquo;s looming roster rebuild.
