Charlotte Hornets: 3 trade deadline landing spots for Marvin Williams

With the NBA trade deadline approaching, the Charlotte Hornets may seek to trade Marvin Williams.

As the Charlotte Hornets continue to see the trade deadline approaching, will the team attempt to make a trade? For now, the Hornets’ best option might be to trade their veteran forward Marvin Williams to a playoff-caliber team.

For some teams, Williams might not be worth a lot, but he could make a few playoff teams happy. While coming off of the bench this season, Williams has averaged 6.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Since last season, Williams’ numbers have dropped, but he’s improved in other areas. For example, Williams is currently shooting 87% from the free-throw line, which is a new career-high. He’s also shooting 38% from behind the arc.

With the emergence of key young players this season, Williams has seen a decrease in minutes. In the past ten games, Williams has only played for 13.8 minutes per game.

The decrease in playing time has proved that Williams could potentially be a top-option for the Hornets to trade at the deadline. As the Hornets have the depth to replace Williams, the team could get some much-needed draft picks.

Charlotte would only likely get a player and a second-round pick for Williams. For the Hornets, second-round picks can be valuable, and Devonte’ Graham is the perfect example of being a second-round steal.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at three potential landing spots for Marvin Williams at the trade deadline.
