A look at the Hornets roster

[jonathanlambert33]

The Hornets have already hinted at upgrading their roster this offseason, and making massive changes again. I know I'm the only Hornets fan on this site, but I thought it'd be interesting to look at our current roster. Who's under contract, who isnt, etc.

Under contract:
Chris Paul - $16,359,805
Emeka Okafor - $12,492,500
Trevor Ariza - $6,790,640
Jarrett Jack - $5,000,000
Quincy Pondexter - $1,153,800

Player option:
David West - $7,525,000
Aaron Gray - $1,091,627

Team option:
David Andersen - $2,685,185

Qualifying offer:
Marco Belinelli - $3,377,604
Jason Smith - $3,135,279

If no options are picked up, the Hornets would be at $41,796,745. That would be 17M under the current cap. That excites me. I expect when it's all said and done, to have about 10M to play with in FA, and that isn't including the salary we will cut through trades (Mek).

yeah if West is smart he'kk opt in, hes not worth 7.525 mil anymore

so yeah idk seems like 10M isnt much but hopefully u guys can unload Meka his contract is not worth his play

I think it all depends on how you spend it, 10M could be a good bit if you spend it right.
