The Charlotte Hornets have had a fruitful offseason, although they still have roster moves to make because they are still above the limit of 15 players with standard contracts. So, between now and the start of the regular season, they have to make the painful decision to cut at least three more players.
As it stands, Charlotte has 16 players under contract for the 2025-26 campaign. Additionally, it must decide whether to guarantee the deals of Moussa Diabate and DaQuan Jeffries. Diabate is a near certainty to remain with the team; it would be a crime to let him go after an impressive showing last season.
