Hornets waive Josh Perkins and Joe Chealey

Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer is reporting that the Charlotte Hornets have waived guards Josh Perkins and Joe Chealey.

Chealey and Perkins were both on Exhibit 10 deals, meaning they were always likely destined for the Greensboro Swarm. Expect to see both of them sign there in the coming days and weeks.

The Hornets are trimming down their roster with just two preseason games remaining. It makes sense to focus more on the key roster guys as the season approaches instead of having them cede reps and minutes to players bound for the Swarm.
