Training camp is just a few weeks away, and it seems like the finishing touches have been made to the Charlotte Hornets’ 21-man offseason roster.
The offseason roster limit was bumped from 20 to 21 in the new CBA — guaranteed NBA contracts and Two-Way deals are included in the count. The Exhibit 10 and other non-guaranteed contracts available for use are not included, so teams can technically carry more than 21 players total during the summer. The Thunder are a prominent example of that, thus the recent release of multiple young prospects.
Though the Hornets have no functional cap space, they are well under the luxury tax threshold of $165.
