The Charlotte Hornets are gearing up for a significant trade season as they look to move several players ahead of the February 6 deadline. Among those likely to be traded are Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic, Seth Curry, Josh Green, and Nick Richards. A proposed trade scenario sees Martin and Micic moving to the Los Angeles Lakers, with the Hornets acquiring Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish, and valuable draft picks.

This trade aims to bolster the Lakers' backcourt depth, addressing a critical need after Rui Hachimura's departure. The addition of Micic, a true point guard, positions him as a facilitator within the Lakers' roster. For the Hornets, landing Hachimura and Reddish not only infuses youth but also provides potential assets for their rebuilding efforts.
