Watch: Gary Trent Sr. reacts to Timberwolves acquiring LaMelo Ball

The Minnesota Timberwolves acquired LaMelo Ball and Josh Green from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Naz Reid and draft picks. LaMelo Ball, a 24-year-old All-Star, has a $203.9 million contract with the Hornets and averaged 20.1 points per game last season but has struggled with injuries. The trade creates an NBA-record $41 million trade exception for the Hornets and is part of broader league activity involving Julius Randle and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
