The Charlotte Hornets know what they are doing before this NBA trade window ends. This has been a crazy trade window. We have seen some huge moves already. The Toronto Raptors have grabbed the opportunities offered to them with both hands; OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam aren’t a part of their roster now. But a crazy trade window comes with some disadvantages. Some players have lost value; they can still be sold but at a cheaper rate.
But a team with draft picks can do things to their liking. Look at the Philadelphia Sixers or the Oklahoma City Thunder; they have the potential to land nearly anybody who is available in the market. Every team dreams of being in that situation, being successful, and having draft capital in the bank. The Hornets are planning on achieving the latter part only. Will they manage to do that? How big of a collection will the Hornets possess at the deadline? Here is all the information you need about the Charlotte Hornets and their future plans.
How have the Charlotte Hornets performed this season?
The Hornets have played 45 games in the 2023-24 season so far. They have a record of 10-35 in those games. They are currently ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference. They have put up a similar performance both in home and away fixtures. They are a long way down. Do they have any chance to pick themselves up?

What did not work out for the Charlotte Hornets?
The Hornets are at the bottom in net rating, even worse than the worst team in the league, the Detroit Pistons. They need a plan, and they need one very quickly. Are they still going to push for the playoffs?
The Miami Heat made an excellent trade acquiring Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets, where he averaged 23 points per game. He's an Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley type of player who will definitely make the Heat more explosive!

What do the Charlotte Hornets plan on doing?
The Charlotte Hornets are going to flip their valuable players for assets. Only LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller seem untouchable at the moment. The Hornets are already focused on preparing for the future, which seems like a smart move.
