At 10-37, the Charlotte Hornets find themselves being sellers at the trade deadline for the second consecutive year. GM Mitch Kupchak already kicked things off by trading Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat a little over a week ago in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a protected 2027 first-round draft pick.
More moves are on the way, but there are a handful of players that are going to be off the table. Kupchak spoke on this the night of the Rozier trade.
“We think we’ve got a foundation of players in place. Of course I’m not going to mention all the players, but I’ll mention our two highest picks, right? It just makes sense. LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.
But there are other players that we’ve pegged as players that would be difficult to trade and then we’ve got some veteran players still under contract.
” Ball and Miller are considered untouchable, as they should be. They’re the driving force behind this organization’s future and could form one of the NBA’s best young duos within the next couple of years.
