Hornets way-too early predictions for 2023 NBA trade deadline

Charlotte Hornets are struggling at the moment. They are 10-26 and near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. NBA trade deadline is in two months. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Mason Plumlee are the most likely players to be traded. The team will try to improve their lottery odds. The 2023 draft is shaping up to have a good crop of players. Victor Wembanyama is the cream of them. He is a French sensation. Charlotte had their 10th win on November 19, 2021. Last season they were 19-17 heading into the New Year. This season, they are at 10.

PJ Washington has been linked to a trade before. The Hornets want to increase their chances for the No. 1 pick. They should keep Washington as he is young and can play both forward positions and some small-ball center. He can also shoot from three-point range.
