The Charlotte Hornets accept the NBA’s decision not to include them in the league’s restart.
They won’t be so gracious if the league doesn’t tweak off-season rules.
Facing nine months without games, coach James Borrego and general manager Mitch Kupchak publicly lobbied Monday for variances from the normal NBA offseason.
“It could be a major disadvantage,” Borrego said on a conference call with Charlotte media. “For me and our group, I can’t allow that to happen. We’ve got to move forward and find creative ways to push this thing forward.”
The NBA plans to resume regular-season games with 22 of the 30 teams, all at Disney’s resort in suburban Orlando, Fla.
