Charlotte has a weird way of doing things and a lot of times it turns out to be the wrong decision.
With PJ, I think they are just taking advantage of the RFA status. They probably don’t want to pay the 18 million PJ wants and with the money dried up there are not many other options. So either PJ swallows some pride and come in at 15-16 or signs the qualifying offer. It is either gamble on yourself or take the guaranteed money now. I would guess he winds up taking the security and signs a deal.
I do expect a move from charlotte this offseason. If Hayward was making like 25 million and if he could fit Hardaway and McGee, I would strongly consider that. I think Hayward the next year at MLE range could be a good value contract…if he can stay on the court.
