THE Hornets give up Josh OkogieRod Boone from Charlotte Observer reports. The salary of $ 7.7 million in Okogie for next season would have been guaranteed if he had stayed on the list beyond Tuesday.
Charlotte had sought to exchange the wing but could not find a partner. The two parties agreed to postpone the date of guarantee of Okogie before June 30 to give the front office to request more time to request a business involving the 27 -year wing.
He appeared in a total of 40 games last season (15.6 minutes per competition), with an average of 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 interceptions on .448 / .348 / .741. Okogie was acquired by the Hornets, as well as three second round choices, from Phoenix for Nick Richards in January. He appeared in 16 games (six departures) with Charlotte, with an average of 8.9 points and 2.7 rebounds.
Charlotte must make several other movements to relieve her cracker from alignment. The Hornets still have 18 players on standard contracts and their three bidirectional places are filled.
Daquan Jeffrieswho does not have a guaranteed contract either, and Nick Smith Jr. are among the players who could lose their places if the Hornets do not make more professions.
