3 Hornets players who need to be traded, 2 who are untouchable

Hornets untouchable: Brandon Miller
This may be controversial, but Brandon Miller and Mark Williams should be more untouchable than LaMelo Ball is. Obviously, Ball is better than both of them right now, but he has some other problems.
Most notably, he can’t stay on the court. He hasn’t cracked the 40-game mark in either of the last two seasons. And on top of that, he’s constantly involved in some questionable off-the-court activities.
As for Miller, he just wrapped up an impressive rookie season that saw him finish third in Rookie of the Year voting. He should be a focal point of the Hornets’ rebuild moving forward.
When Charlotte selected him second overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, some people questioned their decision to pass on Scoot Henderson. Well, their selection is looking great right now.
At his size, Miller has the potential to be one of the best wings in the NBA. He’s a great scorer, he can drive to the rim with ferocity, and his defense could be an awesome weapon for him as well.
Every team in the league wants to add talent on the wing and at the forward position. Miller is the perfect outline of what teams around the NBA want on their team.
