It’s two months out from the start of NBA training camps and most of the off-season roster-building for the Charlotte Hornets is likely complete.
They have 14 guaranteed contracts for a maximum of 15 roster spots. In addition, they have two two-way slots (players destined for the G-League’s Greensboro Swarm) under contract with Mangok Mathiang and J.P. Macura.
That doesn’t mean new general manager Mitch Kupchak or new coach James Borrego are done tinkering. Playing time is up for grabs, and there is a crowd at the wing positions. It’s no given the starting lineup next season will resemble the one from last season, with an entirely different front office and coaching staff.
