Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball predicted that his younger brother, Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball, will be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2025 offseason.

On a recent appearance on the What An Experience podcast, Lonzo Ball made an eyebrow-raising prediction about his younger brother LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets. The Chicago Bulls guard said he believes LaMelo will be traded this summer, and that the Hornets will draft top prospect Dylan Harper as their new point guard.

The Charlotte Hornets finished 2024-25 with the third-worst record in the NBA. To say that was disappointing is an understatement. Though they weren’t exactly playoff contenders entering the season, most people probably would’ve expected them to win at least 20 games.
