The Chicago Bulls are willing to trade Lonzo Ball. The Charlotte Hornets need to put better pieces around LaMelo Ball. What

After having Thanksgiving off, the Charlotte Hornets returned to action against the New York Knicks on Friday afternoon. It was a defense-first affair that featured plenty of lead changes, however, the Hornets couldn't get the job done as they fell 99-98 to the Knicks in front of a disappointed Spectrum Center crowd.

Despite LaMelo not suiting up, his father, LaVar Ball, was still in attendance. LaVar was live on the "Big Baller Brand" Instagram page during the waning moments of the game. While he was live, LaVar dropped a cryptic message for the Hornets fans who were tuned in.
