The Charlotte Hornets are extending a qualifying offer to point guard Devonte Graham, which would make him a restricted free agent, the team announced Sunday. Meanwhile, the Hornets decided not tender Malik Monk, which means his time with the Hornets is over.

As a restricted free agent, the Hornets can retain Graham by matching any offers from other teams.

I never thought Monk was going to stay after his arrest, suspension, followed by few minutes until injuries required his playing.

He did fairly well in those minutes, and will get a contract with someone else.

Yep. It never really clicked for him here, but perhaps it will somewhere else. I'm surprised the Hornets never traded Monk. Then again, maybe they tried but never found any takers.

good point.  I think other teams realized they could get him in free agency without giving us anything.

If JB had been more willing to play him, they probably could have gotten something for him. JB never liked Monk though. Neither did Clifford.

Monk melted down late last year when we really needed him

and his defense was always terrible

great to have him, but he’s now another seat down the bench and he wants way too much money

we ended up with the worst kentucky guys in the league

Well, I sure don't blame them. Clifford was canned shortly after he raised hell about not drafting Mitchell. JB must have seen how inconsistent and immature Monk was and did not want to bet his career on someone so volatile. 

i hope MJ learned from the whole saga of forcing him on the team instead of Mitchell.

Oh how glorious it is to see the team in good hands now.

Monk is restricted which means we can match any deal…or am I missing something?

we would have had to extend the qualifying offer to him to make him restricted.. we didn't - in which case - he walks

No surprise on either

wonder how much they offered Graham?

because we put the qualifying offer on Graham - A) we can match any offer he is given by another team.. B) if no one offers him anything - he can play under that number and become a UFA next year.. C) we can also work on a long-term deal with him and his agent to lock him in and he never becomes a UFA..

Option C is the likely scenario - we just gotta figure out what the numbers and years are..

someone could come in a throw him a BAG $$$ but they would have to offer him something over $15m a year for us to start thinking about letting him walk and not matching - but I don't think teams have that type of space this year to offer a backup PG that type of coin..

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
