NBA Trade Rumors: 1 Player from each team most likely to be traded in-season
By Andy Quach
Atlanta Hawks – De’Andre Hunter
De’Andre Hunter is a young 3-and-D wing with the potential to grow into much more. Unfortunately for him, the Atlanta Hawks somehow have a surplus of those and needs at other positions.
With A.J. Griffin, Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson, and Kobe Bufkin all vying for Hunter’s minutes and shots, it’d be a natural choice for Atlanta to ship him and his four-year, $90 million contract off in return for a better fit on their roster.
Charlotte Hornets – Terry Rozier
Terry Rozier is another valuable NBA veteran on a rebuilding team. With Nick Smith Jr. and James Bouknight looking to earn their keep in the league next season, it’ll only be a matter of time before the Charlotte Hornets front office decides that they need their young guards to get more opportunities so that they can properly evaluate their talent.
For that to happen, Terry Rozier will need to be moved in return for more future assets to aid in the Hornets’ rebuild. His shot creation should be enticing for any playoff team looking to add more offensive juice to their roster.
