Ja, LaMelo and Trae: Why these All-Star guards may have ‘negative value’
A trio of recent All-Star point guards tends to be lumped together in conversations among NBA front offices lately.
Charlotte‘s LaMelo Ball, Memphis‘ Ja Morant and Atlanta‘s Trae Young all seem to be stuck in a sort of limbo with the franchises that they’ve been the faces of since entering the league as high lottery picks. There is rampant speculation among rival teams that Ball, Morant and Young could all be available leading up to the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
For a variety of reasons, from their maximum contracts to their major flaws, it’s not a discussion that generates much enthusiasm despite their status as big names who have put up big numbers.
“I wouldn’t want any of them,” a Western Conference general manager told ESPN.
That was a popular opinion in an informal poll of executives, scouts and coaches conducted by ESPN. There wasn’t a consensus about which one of the three would command the biggest return if they ended up getting shopped in the trade market, as votes were split among Ball, Morant and Young.
“They all might have negative value,” an Eastern Conference executive said.
Another West general manager added: “When there are these sort of unwanted superstars, sometimes they end up getting traded for each other. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens in this case.”
Why are a collection of the league’s most brilliant playmakers perceived as unwanted? Why wouldn’t teams be lining up to land such talented point guards who are either approaching or in the early stages of what should be their primes?
With input from around the league, ESPN examines those issues on a case-by-case basis.

Trae Young | Ja Morant | LaMelo Ball
The Hawks didn’t make much of an attempt to negotiate a contract extension with Young this summer, the first offseason with general manager Onsi Saleh in charge of basketball operations. That was considered a clear indication that Young’s future in Atlanta was murky, although he downplayed that concern this fall.
“I’m not worried about it,” Young told ESPN‘s Ohm Youngmisuk. “As much as I wish it was [done], it’s not all in my hands and I can’t control everything. I just can only control the present. And I know if we win, everybody eats. … I understand what winning can do.”
The Hawks have been winning lately, but Atlanta’s success this season has come while Young has been sidelined with a sprained MCL in his right knee. That only further clouds his future with the franchise. Atlanta was 1-3 when Young was injured during the first quarter of an Oct. 29 win in Brooklyn. The Hawks, led by ascending star forward Jalen Johnson, have gone 12-5 since Young went down, including a road win over the Nets.
The difference has been drastic on the defensive end, which has always been an issue for Young, in part due to his 6-foot-2 frame.
The Hawks allowed 123.2 points per 100 possessions and had a minus-9.2 net rating in Young’s 139 minutes this season. Atlanta has allowed 111.1 points per 100 possessions with a plus-3.9 net rating in 879 minutes without Young.
In other words, the Hawks with Young in the lineup would rank dead last in the league in defensive efficiency. Without him, the Hawks have defended at a top-five level.
“He’s just small and doesn’t play any defense,” an East scout said.
That scout valued Young more than Morant and Ball, primarily because of his offensive prowess and lack of off-court concerns. Several people mentioned the long-running perception that he’s unpopular with teammates as worrisome, especially considering that Young creates so many dunks and open looks with his passing prowess.
The pressing question for the Hawks, as well as potential suitors, is whether Young’s offensive impact merits such a massive financial commitment. He has career averages of 25.2 points and 9.8 assists, and the Hawks have plummeted offensively without Young on the floor in previous seasons.
“His offensive impact is so great,” said a West head coach who ranks Young atop this guard trio, although he would be hesitant to trade for him because of the players it would cost to make the outgoing salary match.
Young, 27, has a $46 million salary this season and a $49 million player option for 2026-27. He remains eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million extension until June 30.
The Hawks could opt to play out the season and risk losing Young in free agency. ESPN projects five teams — the Nets, Bulls, Lakers, Jazz and Wizards — to have at least $50 million in available salary cap space this summer. The Clippers could join that list but at the expense of James Harden, Brook Lopez, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Nicolas Batum. The four players either have a team option, or their contracts are not fully guaranteed.
It’s uncertain whether any team would be more eager to give Young another max contract than the Hawks have proved to be. There is doubt about whether a team built around Young can be a true contender, even though he led the Hawks to the 2021 East finals, averaging 28.8 points and 9.5 assists in the playoffs.
“He might just be the ultimate floor raiser, which has its value,” another East scout said. “But he’s definitely imperfect.”
The Hawks have done a commendable job of balancing their roster and finances for the future. Even after signing core young players Johnson and Dyson Daniels to rookie extensions worth an excess of $250 million, Atlanta could keep Young and free agents to-be Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kennard while remaining well below the luxury tax and both salary cap aprons.
The Hawks, however, have signaled the intent to evaluate this roster before making any further financial commitment to Young.
Multiple rival executives speculated that the Hawks would have to acquire another primary ball handler to replace Young, whether that’s in a trade for him or otherwise. That solution could come at the top of what is considered a loaded 2026 draft class.
Atlanta, after what’s widely perceived as a draft night steal of a deal in which the Hawks moved down 10 spots in the first round to allow the Pelicans to select Derik Queen at No. 13, own the rights to the more favorable of New Orleans’ and Milwaukee‘s 2026 first-round picks. The Pelicans currently have the West’s worst record.

Trae Young exits game vs. Nets with apparent injury
Trae Young suffers what appears to be a knee injury during the Hawks’ first quarter vs. the Nets after teammate Mouhamed Gueye fell into him.
The Grizzlies opted not to engage Morant in discussions about an extension when he was eligible for one last summer, when Memphis eagerly committed to a five-year, $240 million deal with power forward Jaren Jackson Jr.
That prompted rival front offices to wonder whether Morant, whose star rise has been detoured by suspensions and injuries since his consecutive All-Star appearances in 2021-22 and 2022-23, would still be in Memphis by the end of his current contract. Morant’s deal runs through 2027-28, when he is due $44.9 million.
“This is a big season for Ja,” Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman said at media day in September. “I think it is fair to say as we continue to build this team, to be able to achieve a high-end outcome, we need Ja to be a consistent, All-NBA-caliber player.”
The opposite has occurred. Morant has clashed with first-year head coach Tuomas Iisalo and performed poorly.
Morant is averaging 17.9 points, down almost 10 points from his All-NBA campaign in 2021-22 and his lowest since his rookie season, while shooting career worsts of 35.9% from the floor and 16.7% from 3-point range. The Grizzlies are 4-8 with Morant, who has been sidelined since Nov. 15 due to a calf strain, in the lineup.
Morant has been in the spotlight more for a couple of postgame confrontations than anything he’s done on the court this season. The Grizzlies suspended Morant for a game due to conduct detrimental to the team.
Morant also made news for verbally accosting Dallas Mavericks veteran Klay Thompson after watching the Grizzlies’ Nov. 22 win from the bench in street clothes, pointing his finger in the four-time champion’s face and calling him a “bum.”
Thompson’s biting commentary that night summed up much of the league’s perception of Morant at this point.
“It was really just running his mouth, and he’s been running his mouth for a long time,” Thompson said. “It’s funny to run your mouth when you’re on the bench. It’s kind of the story of his career so far, just leaving us wanting more.”
Due to three suspensions and a couple dozen injuries, Morant has played in fewer than 40% of the Grizzlies’ games since his two All-Star selections.
“The combination of pain in the ass, injury prone, not that good anymore and big contract is a bad one,” said an East executive, who added that he wouldn’t want Morant on his roster regardless of salary.
Morant is only 26, but some talent evaluators around the league believe that his best years have already passed. Those skeptics compare Morant to Derrick Rose and John Wall — smaller guards who relied heavily on spectacular athleticism that was sapped by injuries, shortening their stints as superstars.
“Has Ja already lost his pop?” a West scout asked. “When is the last time he put his chin above the rim?”
Morant emerged as one of the NBA’s most electrifying stars primarily because he was so dynamic attacking off the dribble. But he has shown increasing hesitancy to drive into the paint. According to Basketball Reference, the percentage of Morant’s field goal attempts within three feet of the basket has dipped each season and plummeted this season. Only 15.4% of his attempts have come from that close range this season, less than half of his career norm.
“Either you’re declining at a rapidly fast rate, or you’ve quit on this [coach],” a West executive said.
Morant has readily admitted that he stopped attacking the rim with reckless abandon as a way to protect his body, blaming officials for putting him in harm’s way by swallowing their whistles.
“I’m getting no foul calls,” Morant told reporters earlier this season. “Y’all had a whole spiel about running in there careless and getting hurt. So what now? That’s what y’all want me to go back doing? Let’s end that convo right here.”
The problem is that Morant remains a poor jump shooter, even though he relies on his jumper with more frequency than ever.
“Ja has been going down, down, down,” one of the West GMs said. “I don’t know how much of that is due to motivation. You’ve got to be able to look under the hood. I’m just not sure about his health.”
However, others expressed some optimism that Morant could revitalize his career with a change of scenery.
That contingent of coaches, scouts and executives considers Morant a more proven winner than Young and especially Ball, even though the Grizzlies have won only one playoff series in his career. They believe Morant’s competitive fire can burn again in the right circumstances.
“I think Ja is the one who can maybe be saved,” a West executive said. “If he’s got to prove he can play [to get paid again], you can get him.”
Another West executive added: “It’s a gamble, but I truly believe that Ja will be fine at his next stop. But [the Grizzlies are] going to have to move Ja. They don’t have a choice.”

LaMelo Ball denies trade request, says he loves Charlotte
LaMelo Ball says that a trade request did not come from him and adds that he loves the Charlotte Hornets organization.
Ball swiftly and firmly shot down a recent report that he had grown increasingly frustrated in Charlotte and was open to a trade, calling it “false info.”
“I love being here,” Ball told reporters after a Nov. 21 practice, the day after the Yahoo! Sports story published. “I ain’t saying nothing. I’m just trying to win, that’s it. That’s what we’re going to keep doing.”
There were two common reactions to Ball’s comments from scouts and executives around the league.
They appreciated Ball’s apparent understanding that he was in no position to try to force a trade, not as an inefficient, injury-prone player in the second season of a five-year, $204 million contract.
They were also amused by Ball’s stated desire to win. That is in stark contrast to the leaguewide perception that winning isn’t a priority for him, a reputation he has earned with his shot selection and what’s viewed as an indifference to playing defense.
“He takes the same shots now that he took in high school,” a West assistant coach said. “Nothing has changed. I actually thought early in the year he was giving more of an honest effort defensively, but the offensive side looks like nothing has changed.”
The Hornets, who are off to a 6-14 start, have had a winning record once since drafting Ball in 2020. They went 43-39 in 2021-22 before being blown out in East’s 9-10 play-in game for the second straight season.
“Can I trust LaMelo in the playoffs and games that matter late in the season?” an East executive said. “We just don’t know.”
Ball has been plagued by injuries since that second play-in appearance, primarily to his right ankle, playing in only 36, 22 and 47 games in the past three seasons as Charlotte finished near the bottom of the East standings. Ball recently missed six games with impingement in that ankle.
His durability issues significantly diminish his value, but the 24-year-old Ball’s laissez faire approach to the game is viewed as his biggest flaw.
“Nobody has ever questioned the talent,” a West executive said. “But he’s just so unserious.”
One West scout said he considered the 6-foot-7 Ball, who has career averages of 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists, to be the most talented of this trio of point guards. Yet that scout said he would rank Ball last on the list because his bad habits seemed to be so deeply ingrained.
Coaches, scouts and executives often roll their eyes when discussing Ball’s tendency to launch long 3-pointers off one foot early in the shot clock. Ball’s bad shot selection is a significant factor in his career-worst percentages (37.9% from the floor, 28.1% on 3s) this season.
“He’s definitely one of the top three most talented guards in the league,” a West executive said. “But every [scouting] report I write on him has the word ‘Globetrotter’ in it.”
Added a West scout: “They all have their warts, but I don’t think you can win anything with LaMelo.”
Ball State has fired men’s basketball coach Michael Lewis after four seasons, the school announced Saturday.
The Cardinals ended their season with an 85-69 win over Central Michigan in the regular-season finale Friday to finish on a four-game winning streak but still missed the Mid-American Conference tournament after posting a 12-19 (7-11 MAC) record.
“We are grateful to Coach Lewis for the passion and commitment he brought to our program the past four years,” athletic director Jeff Mitchell said in a statement. “We appreciate the time and effort he invested in our student-athletes.”
Lewis went 61-64 in his four seasons at the helm of the Cardinals. He won 20 games in Year 1, finishing fourth in the MAC, but was unable to replicate his early success. Ball State has finished 7-11 in conference play in each of the past three seasons, going 41-52 during that time.
Lewis was a longtime power conference assistant before being tapped to take over at Ball State in 2022. He spent time on staffs at UCLA, Nebraska and Butler, working under three different coaches during his time with the Bulldogs. He was an assistant coach at Eastern Illinois and Stephen F. Austin prior to Brad Stevens hiring him at Butler.
His coaching career began as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech under Bob Knight, whom he played for in college at Indiana. Lewis was the Hoosiers’ team captain and an all-conference performer as a senior in 1999-00.
Had Michigan star Yaxel Lendeborg just seen a ghost?
His Wolverines — then the No. 1 team in the country — were used to overwhelming opponents on the glass and in the paint. Instead, they had just been outrebounded and outscored by Cameron Boozer and the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils, and Lendeborg couldn’t find the words to describe the superstar freshman.
“Um … man … um,” Lendeborg hedged when asked about Boozer’s play after the Feb. 21 game, shaking his head and trailing off.
Boozer has had that mystifying effect on every opponent he has faced when the stakes are high.
Clutch performances throughout the 2025-26 campaign have made him the clear favorite for national player of the year honors in a season that features arguably the most talented freshman class of the one-and-done era, not to mention multiple returning All-Americans. The gap between the 18-year-old and the country’s other elite players was widened in the win over Michigan, thanks to his game-altering 3-pointer and the draw of a key goaltending call in the final minutes.
Lendeborg was not the first star Boozer humbled this season. He had 24 points and 23 rebounds against Tennessee’s Nate Ament in a preseason win. Projected NBA draft lottery picks Darius Acuff Jr. and Thomas Haugh could only watch in awe as Boozer scored 64 points combined in wins over Arkansas and Florida, respectively. Boozer also bulldozed Jeremy Fears Jr. and Michigan State to the tune of 18 points and 15 rebounds. Meanwhile, the ACC is still trying to catch its breath from Boozer’s spectacular efforts throughout conference play, with rival North Carolina up next in Saturday’s regular-season finale (6:30 p.m. on ESPN) — a game that could seal Duke’s bid for the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.
“We’ve been in a lot of big-time games, a lot of close games, against a lot of highly ranked teams or talked-about teams,” Boozer said about himself and his brother Cayden, also a five-star freshman for the Blue Devils. “So I feel like just being in a lot of those moments prepares you for this.”
Those who have watched the rise of Boozer — son of Carlos Boozer, a former NBA All-Star who won a title with Duke in 2001 — would agree. There is a common thread that ties his basketball career together, from middle school to present day: He’s a defensive dilemma not only because of his size, relentless motor, intellect and a skill set that has made a him a projected top-three pick in the 2026 NBA draft, but also because of the way the game seems to slow down for him in the highest-pressure moments.
Boozer won four state titles with Columbus High School at Florida’s highest level of prep basketball. He led the Explorers to a national title in 2025. His AAU team, the Nightrydas, won three consecutive Nike EYBL crowns. He was co-MVP of last year’s McDonald’s All American game. He won Gatorade Player of the Year twice, plus two gold medals with USA Basketball. That level of dominance means the same question opponents have always asked about Boozer will take center stage in March: How do you stop him?
Kansas’ Darryn Peterson might have the highest NBA ceiling in this freshman class. And BYU’s AJ Dybantsa is its most entertaining and explosive talent. But Boozer is, well, the winningest.
Every time championships have been on the line in his career, Boozer has won. And in the clutch moments of crucial games, he has delivered.
“It’s his greatest tool. It’s his greatest asset,” Miami head coach Jai Lucas, a former Duke assistant who recruited Boozer, said. “It’s like he’s been there before, and he’s been that way since he was in seventh, eighth grade. He’s always played with an older vibe, a veteran vibe about him.
“No moment, no situation is too big for him.”
Andrew Moran’s phone buzzed the night before a regional matchup in the 2022 Florida state playoffs.
As the Columbus High School coach was preparing his squad to face its next opponent, Boozer — a team captain as just a 14-year-old freshman — had watched the film and written a scouting report. He noted the hand signals the opposing coach had used for each set.
“It had descriptions of their plays and it had the time stamps in which it happened during the game. And at first I was confused,” said Moran, who is now an assistant at Miami. “I looked at it and I was like, ‘What the hell is he sending me?’ And then I realized, ‘Oh man, this guy is sending me detailed stuff.’ So for me, I was like, ‘This is another level of preparation at this age.'”
Boozer fell in love with the game early.
There is video of a seventh-grade Boozer blocking shots into the parents section of former NBA All-Star Chris Paul’s middle school combine in 2019, dribbling behind his back and throwing full-court passes. He already had a bag of skills players his age clearly couldn’t match.
“That’s a throwback. I think I had yellow hair back then,” Boozer said, referencing the gold hairstyle he sported at the time.
When the pandemic closed schools and gyms around the country, Boozer and his buddies played pickup games every day, sometimes in the rain, often on the full court at his house. That’s when his friends noticed a shift.
Dante Allen was Boozer’s AAU teammate then. He asked his father, Malik Allen, an assistant coach for the Miami Heat, to put their pickup crew through drills before playing 5-on-5. It was already evident Boozer had the tools to be a great player, but the drills showcased how his intensity was growing.
“I think that’s definitely when he started to get a lot better as a basketball player,” Dante Allen said. “I’d say every drill, he was very intentional with it. There was no point where he was going anything less than a 100% speed with it, just trying to be the best that he can. And then once we started playing pickup, it was just carrying over everything that we’d been doing, all the lessons he’d learned.”
During his freshman year at Columbus High School, Boozer’s combination of brains and brawn thrust his team into the state championship game against Dr. Phillips High School’s roster of now-Division I players Denzel Aberdeen (Kentucky), Ernest Udeh Jr. (Miami) and Riley Kugel (UCF). Boozer scored a team-high 17 points to help Columbus High capture its first state title.
“It was the biggest matchup that we had at that point, and he was just really poised and got us to the win,” Cayden Boozer said.
The victories piled up from there as Cameron’s game evolved.
Coach Mark Griseck figured his Windermere High School team would have its hands full against Boozer and a Columbus team seeking its fourth consecutive state title last year. Early in the game, he said, Boozer set the tone.
“The first time my point guard got hit with a ball screen from Boozer, he goes, ‘Man, it took me about three or four trips back down the court to get my senses back,'” said Griseck, whose team lost 68-36. “Because Boozer set a screen on him and it almost knocked him out. And it wasn’t illegal. It was just a screen by a tree.”
The opposing players in that lopsided affair noticed not only Boozer’s skills and dominance, but also the way he orchestrated the action on the court.
“He was anchoring his offense and not only anchoring it but calling out the plays,” said TJ Drain, a Windermere alum who now plays at Liberty. “He was very vocal with his teammates in encouragement, and that really stood out to me. Whether it was a good pass or a great cut or he’d say, ‘I know you’re going to finish the next one.'”
Boozer’s family background gave him a head start in basketball. His determination did the rest. To those who have witnessed his development, his success at Duke isn’t surprising. They saw the seeds of what he blossomed into a long time ago.
“He’s getting wherever he wants to,” Allen said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a 7-foot, 300-pound player in front of him or if it’s a pesky guard in front of him, Cam is going to get wherever he wants, regardless. And I think the really hard part about that is that he can get wherever he wants to and then the fact that he’s going to make the right play.”
Exactly 32 hours before Notre Dame was set to tip off against Duke, Fighting Irish head coach Micah Shrewsberry was concerned about how his team would handle Boozer.
Those worries were justified. Notre Dame scored only 22 points in the first half. Boozer had 20 on his own. The Blue Devils went on to win 100-56.
“I’m pretty sure he and his brother were probably dominating when they were 8-year-olds, all the way through,” said Shrewsberry, who left the game in a walking boot after suffering an Achilles injury while he coached his team. “He plays as hard as anybody out there. There is no arrogance to him. It looks like winning’s really important to him, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win.”

Cameron Boozer tallies a double-double in Duke’s win
Cameron Boozer scores 24 points and grabs 13 rebounds in Duke’s rout over Notre Dame.
Howard head coach Kenny Blakeney knows what it takes to win, too. He was on the Duke team that won its second straight national title in 1992. Having played with Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and Bobby Hurley, Blakeney also knows talent. And he realized Boozer is a lot more than that when his Bison played the Blue Devils in November, saying the “ginormous” Boozer plays like a “baby Jokic” — comparing him to three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.
“If you watch the Duke game against us, Duke was closing out the game, running ball screens for a 6-foot-9, 250-pound dude to get downhill and make decisions,” Blakeney said. “He shoots it well. He’s an incredible passer. He can do whatever he wants to do on the low block.
“It’s like the criticism from what I hear is that he’s not bouncy enough. Well, you can’t stop the stuff that he can do, so he doesn’t need to be.”
It was only this time last year that Cooper Flagg was authoring one of the greatest freshman campaigns in the one-and-done era. And Boozer is arguably outplaying him.
Boozer is averaging more points (22.6 vs. 19.2) and rebounds (10.0 vs. 7.5) than Flagg, and nearly as many assists (4.0 vs. 4.2). Boozer is also a better 3-point shooter and is playing more minutes. His current 135.3 offensive rating would set a record in the KenPom era (since 2003-04) if it holds. And he has led Duke to its best start (28-2) since 1998-99, when that squad started 29-1 (and won 32 games in a row).
Boozer has an opportunity to end his career as one of the greatest freshmen of all time — not just at Duke. According to data scientist Evan Miya, Boozer is having the best season in college basketball since at least 2009-10, surpassing Zach Edey’s second consecutive Wooden Award season in 2023-24 (25.2 PPG, 12.2 RPG, 2.0 BPG).
“I just think he’s wired for it. He lives it,” Duke head coach Jon Scheyer said. “He’s incredibly prepared going into the games of understanding the different coverages he can see. I mean, we’ve seen so many different defenses, whether it’s doubles or single coverage or heavy plugs, whatever it is. I credit his preparation. I credit the fact that he just lives it every single day.”
At the next level, Boozer will compete against players who might have traits he lacks. He’s not an above-the-rim threat or walking “SportsCenter” highlight like Dybantsa and Peterson, who are projected to go ahead of him in the NBA draft. But Boozer is a complete player with a knack for navigating adversity to win games.
“One of his biggest intangibles is a winning pedigree. Championships, MVPs, gold medals, he’s won at every stop, at a high level, and is a primary contributor on a team that is in position to win it all in April,” one NBA executive told ESPN. “He seems to be about all the right things.
“His actions indicate that he cares about winning, playing the game the right way, handling his business with maturity and professionalism.”
On Saturday, Boozer will lead Duke into its regular-season finale against North Carolina, the ACC outright title already in hand. After that, the Blue Devils will ask him to do what he has done throughout his career: lead them to a championship — their first since 2015.
Accepting that responsibility is all Boozer knows. He always has done his best work when the stakes are highest.
“There is a lot that comes with being at Duke, but you wouldn’t come to Duke if you were afraid of that or didn’t want to be a part of that,” Boozer said. “It’s the biggest brand in college basketball. There is always a spotlight, always a target on your back, so you come to Duke to play in these moments — to be in these moments.”
