As the NBA trade deadline approaches, several Charlotte Hornets players could find themselves on the move as the team looks to retool or acquire future assets. Here are seven players who might be traded:

1. **Terry Rozier**: Rozier is a proven scorer and playmaker, making him an attractive option for contending teams in need of backcourt depth. His contract could be a hurdle, but his skill set is valuable.

2. **Gordon Hayward**: Hayward’s experience and versatility make him a potential trade target. Despite his injury history, teams needing a veteran presence might take a chance, especially if the Hornets are willing to absorb some salary.

3. **P.J. Washington**: A young forward with a developing game, Washington could appeal to teams looking to add a versatile big man who can stretch the floor. His potential upside makes him a valuable trade asset.

4. **Miles Bridges**: Although the Hornets may be hesitant to trade Bridges, his athleticism and improving offensive game could attract interest, especially from teams looking for a dynamic wing player.

5. **Kelly Oubre Jr.**: Oubre’s scoring ability and defensive versatility make him an attractive option for playoff teams seeking wing depth. His expiring contract also makes him a valuable trade chip.

6. **Mark Williams**: The young center’s potential as a rim protector and rebounder could entice teams looking to add size and defense in the paint.

7. **Cody Martin**: Martin’s defensive prowess and ability to guard multiple positions make him a valuable role player for teams seeking to bolster their bench for a playoff push.
