Since the infamous summer of 2016 the Hornets have not had a substantial amount of CAP space, relying mostly on the Bi-Annual/Mid-level exceptions, trades and the draft to improve their team. Despite functioning under brutal financial restrictions flexibility is finally within site as the team looks to have an expected $19 million in space in 2020 and $71 million in 2021. If you add the cap space together over the next two years Charlotte have the second most cap space in the NBA second to only the Knicks.
So how will GM Mitch Kupchak navigate his first summer with cap space?
