The Hornets are receiving trade interest from teams on Cody Martin and Nick Richards.

Martin and Richards are on affordable contracts through 2025-26, which makes them very appealing targets to contenders in exchange for second-round draft capital.

Richards was the caliber level center I was interested before the Gafford trade.  Gafford is the superior player.  i would think Richards would have interest though...even in this heavily saturated center market.  

PHX is obviously a candidate and they will continue down the path of all in with a .500 team.   Nurkic for Richards and injured Grant Williiams?  That works, but I have no idea why Charlotte would want two more years of Nurkic.
