Charlotte IGNORING LaMelo Trade Buzz | Jarrett Allen a Target? | Mock Draft Changes for Hornets

Is LaMelo Ball's future with the Charlotte Hornets finally set in stone? On today’s episode of Locked On Hornets , Walker and Doug dive into the sudden silence around LaMelo trade speculation and what that means for the Hornets’ offseason direction. With top point guards like Darius Garland, Jrue Holiday, and Trae Young circulating in trade rumors—and LaMelo not among them—are the Hornets finally hitting the straightaway with their franchise star? Then, the guys pivot to Cleveland and ask: should the Hornets pursue Jarrett Allen if the Cavaliers look to shake things up? Doug makes the case for why Allen could immediately elevate the Hornets' defense, while Walker weighs the playoff risks versus the regular-season rewards of acquiring the 27-year-old center. Plus, we’ve got not one, but TWO fresh mock drafts to dissect. ESPN and The Ringer both updated their boards—what does it mean if VJ Edgecombe is off the board by pick 3? If you missed yesterday’s mock, don’t worry—today’s double-mock segment will get you caught up.
