NBA Trades: 6 blockbuster Bradley Beal trades for the Wizards to rebuild – Charlotte Hornets

Finally, the Charlotte Hornets have been one of the blossoming joys of the season. LaMelo Ball has taken a leap to All-Star level in his second season and Miles Bridges is in the running for Most Improved Player.

Making one more step towards guaranteeing their playoff spot would show their willingness to build around their new face of the franchise. Adding Montrezl Harrell to trade brings in more flexibility while adding a fun lob threat to pair with Ball off the bench.

PJ Washington has been one of the young players struggling to find a consistent role as the team grows but is well worth taking a chance on. He is a valuable stretch big man, knocking down 43.0 percent of his triples this year.

JT Thor and James Bouknight are just rookies, but they have plenty of interest worth pursuing. Bouknight has the potential to be a quality bucket off the bench, attacking the rim at will. Thor has real potential, but as one of the multiple rookie bigs the team brought in, there will always be some overlap.

While Gordon Hayward does not have a place in the future of the Wizards organization, he should be tradable before too long.
