As the Charlotte Hornets' 2024-25 NBA season nears its midpoint, trade rumors are beginning to swirl around the struggling franchise. With an 8-27 record, the Hornets find themselves once again at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Their underwhelming performance, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, has left many wondering if a roster shake-up is in order. As youth development with the right pieces remains focal points for the Hornets, the opportunity for a trade looms large. Among the players Charlotte might target to help retool their squad are Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro, Detroit Pistons’ Marcus Sasser, and Boston Celtics’ Robert Williams III.
