The Charlotte Hornets are in discussions with the Sacramento Kings regarding a trade that could see Charlotte move up to the No. 7 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The proposed deal would involve the Hornets sending their No. 14 and No. 18 selections to Sacramento in exchange for the coveted pick. The Kings are looking to draft a guard and are willing to move back in the draft order as high-profile prospects are still projected to be available. This shift in focus comes after initial talks around three-time All-Star center Domantas Sabonis.
