CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Hornets aren't expected to be big spenders in free agency this summer even if Michael Jordan sells the team.
The Hornets are a projected $39 million under the NBA salary cap for next season - which ranks in the top 10 in the league in terms of available spending money - but the team plans to focus on re-signing their own players and adding others through the draft and "savvy trades," according to general manager Mitch Kupchak.
"Although we have a lot of financial flexibility, we don't typically go big-game hunting with our free agent money," Kupchak said Tuesday.
