That's interesting.

if my understanding is correct NBA teams can negotiate with free agents starting on July 1st, but can't actually sign them to a contract until July 6th.

So does this mean the Bobcats/Hornets cannot have any discussions with Kemba until July 1st?

I'm sorry I don't know much about the details, only took the info from here.
