Do we still have an open roster spot? Once we resign Bridges we should be good numbers-wise, right?

[u/tandtz → u/BizzaroMatthews]

Current contracts : 

LaMelo, Mark, Miller, NSJ, Grant, Micic, Mann, Martin, Bertans, Richards, McGowens, Poku   

That's 12, so we have 3 roster slots to then deal with:  

Miles, Amari, Mensah and Ish are free agents  

Team options on Seth and JT   

Got Tidjane and KJ to sign 

Reggie Jackson traded to us. 

Edit: Forgot that Nnaji is stashed

KJ and Tidjane may very well start their careers in the G League. I think Hornets fans should just treat them like baseball prospects at this point.

[u/tandtz → u/DailyPanthersPodcast]

I can't imagine Tidjane not being signed to a full roster spot 

[u/DailyPanthersPodcast → u/tandtz]

I mean Mark Williams spent time in the G league and he was much more polished. Not sure what “signed to a full roster spot” means exactly, but Tidjane’s contract is already set in stone, regardless of how much time he spends in Greensboro.

[u/tandtz → u/DailyPanthersPodcast]

Yeah so you can see why I'm confused, considering all that was being talked about was roster spots. The only way your comment was relevant was if you thought he would be in a two-way

[u/AppropriateAd5225 → u/tandtz]

Yep, Tidjane is already on the 15 man full roster. All 1st round picks get 2 years of guaranteed money automatically.
