The Charlotte Hornets have made Miles Bridges eligible for trade as of today, following the NBA's trading restrictions on newly signed players. This marks the start of a crucial period leading up to the trade deadline on February 6. Although Bridges, currently playing on a three-year, $75 million deal, is a notable figure, the Hornets' overall strategy regarding trades remains uncertain.

With the team struggling this season, it may be prudent for Charlotte to consider trading Bridges and other assets to facilitate a rebuild. Along with Bridges, several players, including Nic Claxton and Tyrese Maxey, have now entered the trade discussion. However, it is unclear how proactive the Hornets will be in their efforts to offload significant contracts.
