The Hornets acquired the services of LaMelo Ball for the next five years. The two sides have agreed to a five-year rookie cap extension that could be worth up to $260 million, NBA insider Arian Wojnarowski reports.
Paul, who was previously third overall by Charlotte in 2020, became an All-Star in 2022. He had a career last year but it was cut short by injuries.
Last season, Ball averaged 23.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.
