Ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline, the Cavs are still seeking potential moves to execute. Per NBA insider Jake Fischer, they are exploring a Lonzo Ball deal next.

"The Cavaliers aren't done, either. Cleveland is very much still working towards finding a trade partner to assume Lonzo Ball's $10 million salary, per sources," Fischer tweeted.

It was previously reported that the Cavs are indeed trying to find ways to send Ball away. The former No. 2 pick has endured a brutal season, averaging 4.6 points in just 30 percent shooting in 20.8 minutes per 35 games.

As such, the Hornets are a team to watch for Ball, as the rising ball club has engaged with the Cavs already regarding the veteran guard.

Charlotte appears to be looking to reunite the Ball brothers. Lonzo's younger brother, LaMelo, is the Hornets' franchise star.
