With the off-season fast approaching, the Charlotte Hornets will have a lot of decisions to make about the team going forward. They have eight players that are expected to be unrestricted free agents. The team won’t have enough cap space to re-sign them all but they may be able to sign most of them if they can create some space.
One way that would create the most space would be to trade Spencer Hawes. This move would make the most sense for the team. He is scheduled to make $5.7 million next season and he has a $6 million player option the following year.
