New Orleans Pelicans Rumors: Jrue Holiday set to stay until at least the summer, Lonzo Ball could be traded and more

#3 Lonzo Ball could be made available after making a slow start

Lonzo Ball has yet to make much of an impact with the Pelicans

Upon being selected 2nd overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017 draft, Lonzo Ball was declared as the future of the franchise by Magic Johnson. However, Ball struggled with injuries during his two seasons in LA and was subsequently included as part of the trade for Davis.

Ball's career was expected to take off following his move to the Pelicans, although after making a slow start for his new team, ESPN's Brian Windhorst told The Hoop Collective podcast that the Pelicans could make Ball available for trade if they receive a suitable offer ahead of the trade deadline.

Ball recorded 27 points on 7-for-12 shooting from three-point range in his last outing, although for the season, he is averaging just 10.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per contest.
