Love to see it. Hornets are also waiving Graham, Bertans, Pokusevski, and McGowens.

Hornets have one roster spot and two two-way contracts available.

Current Roster

1 - LaMelo Ball, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann, K.J. Simpson

2 - Josh Green, Reggie Jackson, Nick Smith Jr.

3 - Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, Leaky Black (two-way)

4 - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun

5 - Mark Williams, Nick Richards

Truthfully cheaper than I thought it would be. 

[ForJimmy]

Yeah that contract isn’t as crazy as I thought either… 

[pantherdad]

This team stood by him at his worst times, and I guess that probably came in to play in his mindset

[mickeye76]

Good story. I kinda wanted to move on from Bridges. Hell even was willing to entertain offers for Melo. I was onboard for a tear down and rebuild but I like the way the franchise is doing it.  Run it back.  We aren't bottom feeders really. We could be a real hard out at 8 if all the pieces meld. We can score a bit and if coach presses defense mentality... dangerous.

We have a very good and young starting lineup that can compete with anyone if they stay healthy. Depth will be a concern at some positions

I think they have the Guard position covered up

[Shocker]

He reportedly wanted 30per settling at 25 isn’t terrible.  Miles is a great player and glad the player is back.  Hopefully he has learned from his horrible mistakes and improves as a person.

I’m behind on Hornets news, but How in the World did we get Josh Green from the Mavs?

That is a BIGTIME GET.  He’s gonna be a superstar.

Green was a big part of the Mav’s’ NBA Finals run and looks like a younger more athletic and better defending version of Klay Thompson (who was the main piece of that 6-team trade). 

What did we even give up?  2nd rounders?  Steal.

Super stoked about this lineup.

K.J. Simpson signed a two-way contract opening up another roster spot.

1 - LaMelo Ball, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann, K.J. Simpson (two-way)

2 - Josh Green, Reggie Jackson, Nick Smith Jr.

3 - Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, Leaky Black (two-way)

4 - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun

5 - Mark Williams, Nick Richards

So the Hornets have two roster spots and one two-way spot available.

It’ll be interesting to see if Seth takes one of those roster spots.

Also, after yesterdays Summer League game, Gueye might be pushing for that third two-way contract.

The Hornets also have part of their MLE remaining.

From the looks of it we could use another forward and another center in case more injury concerns pop up with Martin and Williams.

[GamecockSmitty4]

I feel like it’s a matter of time before the logjam at G is sorted out, probably for salary dumps + draft picks. It could also hold until the trade deadline. 

[Daddy_Uncle]

Need depth at center. It hurt us last year with williams hurt

[HardcoreHokie]

If they can stay healthy, this roster reminds me of Minnesota and Oklahoma City.  But in the East.

Charlotte, we have something real right now.
