THE Hornets Have the ignominious honor to hold the longest drought in the league eliminatory series, leaving them many questions to answer the offseason, according to the Roderick Boone by Charlotte Observer.
In a chronicle of Mailbag, Boone writes that he expects the team to add more veteran presence to his young nucleus, in the sense of last year This Gibson signature. The objective would be to help build a winning locker culture and help the development of the head coach Charles LeeWho himself always learns the strings to be a veteran coach of the NBA.
Boone also advises fans not to react excessively if 2024 peak of lottery Tidjane Salaün Spend more time in League G next year, writing that rushing your development would be a mistake and would hurt him in the long term. The sixth choice of draft last year raised an average of 5.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per night for Charlotte, while pulling just 33.0% of the land and 28.3% out of three, although it is always known to be a project that would take several years to be ready for major contributions.
As for the movements of the list, Boone says that the team could use another center or another advantage, in particular the one that can draw. In the meantime, Three men Seems to be on the path of recovery of a back injury that cut its short season and enters a limited free agency. If it is in good health, Boone believes that it may be more likely to sign a qualification offer and hit the free market of next year than to sign a long -term agreement.

- 6’4 ″ shooting guard VJ Edgecombe Rumor wants it to be a favorite for the Hornets“Fourth overall choice in the 2025 draft if it is still available,” writes Boone. Boone underlines his strong defensive pedigree as an excellent adjustment between Lamelo ball And Brandon Miller In Lee’s system, but warns that it will have to improve its ball handling to become a more balanced offensive threat.
- After a large second half of the season after a business in the middle of the year to the Heat,, Davion Mitchell should receive a qualification offer of $ 8.7 million making him a limited free agent, writes Anthony Chiang of Miami Herald. However, Chiang writes that the most likely result is that the heat allows another team to continue a tender sheet with the 26 -year -old defensive guard before deciding how it fits into their future plans. Chiang writes that Mitchell could Garner Offers approaching the complete exception of intermediate level (14.1 million dollars), and heat costs only $ 4 million of the luxury tax without too much hope of constituting a high -level team for next year. They also expect that they pursue as much ceiling space in 2026 as possible, which makes multiannus agreements complicated.
- After a year of career shooting, Alec Burks hope to be back with the Heat Next season, writes Chiang. “”It was a happy new year. I learned a lot. Even if I am in my 14th year, I still learned something. So I’m happy to be here“Said Burks. The 34 -year -old who will soon be 34 started the two game games for Miami, but only appeared in match 1 match of the team’s first round match with the Riders. Coach Erik Spoelstra praised his ability to stay ready for everything asked, saying: “There are not many veterinarians who really want to accept these kinds of roles. It’s just reality. And he is not only able to accept it, but he is prosperous in this role. “”
- THE Hawk Desperately try to leave the world of the peloton to become a legitimate competitor, writes Keith Smith of Spotrac. The Front Office has decisions to be made concerning the free agency of the longtime center Clint Capelawhich was supplanted this year by A packet in the first five, as well as new acquisitions Caris Book And Larry Nance Jr.Which could decide what the depth of the team looks like next season. Smith writes that it would be logical for Lever and Atlanta to reconcile on an agreement in the stadium of $ 12 million a year over two or three years, while the team’s ability to keep Nance can be based on the type of external offers he obtains. Dyson Daniels And Trae Young are both eligible for extension this summer, although Smith thinks that it would be more logical to extend Daniels than Young, since the role of Young in the long -term plans of the team remains uncertain. And, of course, none of this is likely to occur before the team recently replaced the Director General Landry fields.
