The Charlotte Hornets are in crunch mode after a busy offseason, sitting with two too many players on the roster and facing tough cuts before the season starts. With names like Grant Williams, Dorian Finney-Smith, Tre Mann, Royce ONeale, and Pat Connaughton on the bubble, GMs must decide who to move — balancing expiring contracts, trade value, and future needs. Williams is the most attractive trade chip, while Finney-Smith could be bought out if no deal forms. Mann’s underwhelming play makes him easy to move, and O’Neale’s uncertain role opens the door for a trade. The final call rests with the GM — a high-stakes decision that could shape the team’s season.
