The Hornets are open to trading LaMelo Ball — and the suitors are already getting aggressive.

60 picks down, and the 2026 NBA Draft is officially in the books — a loaded class has found its homes, the final 30 selections wrapped Wednesday, and the chaos was mostly contained to the margins.

Gobble's Take: All that anticipation, and the class mostly behaved itself. Which means the few slides and fits that did happen are going to get argued about for a very long time. Source: CBS Sports NBA

The Hornets are open to trading LaMelo Ball — and the suitors are already getting aggressive.

Ball just posted his best pro season: 20.1 points, 7.1 assists, 36.8% from 3, and 70 games played. Charlotte is keeping the asking price high, but Minnesota and Toronto are in the mix, Milwaukee has long had interest in Ball and would be open to bringing him in after trading away Giannis Antetokounmpo, and this one could drag well into free agency.

Gobble's Take: Charlotte spent years building around LaMelo Ball. Now it's trying to rebuild away from him — and doing it quietly enough that the fanbase doesn't notice until it's already done. Source: Yahoo Sports NBA

Tobe Awaka went undrafted — and still landed an NBA deal.

The reigning Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year, who played two seasons at Arizona after beginning his career at Tennessee, signed a 2-way contract with the Chicago Bulls after going undrafted, with a likely stop at Summer League in Las Vegas next month on the horizon.

Sixty picks weren't enough — the snub list is long.

Milos Uzan, Kylan Boswell, and Nick Boyd all went home without being called, and several undrafted players have already signed 2-way contracts while others wait for their Summer League shot.
