This one is the longest shot. We know that. The Rockets won’t be able to trade their pick for Ball outright. They’ll have to send other assets.

Perhaps. On the other hand, there have already been whispers that Ball may look elsewhere soon. The Hornets could favor a fresh start around Henderson. Meanwhile, the Rockets need a point guard.
