2024 NBA Free Agency Mega Thread

Hornets fans and visitors,

The purpose of this mega thread is for centralized chat and discussion of anything related to the 2024 NBA Free Agency, including fan-proposed trades, rather than numerous self posts or trade machine images/links which really don't need their own threads.

Posts/articles from media or other reputable sources regarding free agency rumors and trades can still be posted as their own threads, this is primarily for Free Agency commentary and trade ideas by fans. If you have a high quality text submission, go for it.

Thank you for your cooperation. Bonk on. 🐝

I’m hoping the delay on signing miles means he gone. I want to cheer for my team again.

Regardless of if we are planning to keep him or not he would be the last player we sign because we can sign him over the cap.

An agreement can still be reached beforehand lol. In fact that’s usually what happens they don’t wait typically to spread it through media.

Teams usually won't reach an agreement before other teams make a contract bid which is the point in the qualifying offer right?
