Heading into the offseason, it seemed unthinkable that the Charlotte Hornets and P.J. Washington would be at a stand-off. Washington is coming off his best season with the franchise and was expected to have several suitors once free agency began. Yet, Washington hasn’t had a single offer sheet cross his agent’s desk.
It was supposed to be simple. A team would offer Washington a pay increase on his current salary, the Hornets would match the offer, and everybody would turn their attention toward the new season. That offer never came, though.
Most teams around the league have concluded the lion’s share of their business, and it would appear that Washington was part of their plans.
