The Charlotte Hornets are extending a qualifying offer to point guard Devonte Graham, which would make him a restricted free agent, the team announced Sunday. Meanwhile, the Hornets decided not tender Malik Monk, which means his time with the Hornets is over.

As a restricted free agent, the Hornets can retain Graham by matching any offers from other teams.

I never thought Monk was going to stay after his arrest, suspension, followed by few minutes until injuries required his playing.

He did fairly well in those minutes, and will get a contract with someone else.

Yep. It never really clicked for him here, but perhaps it will somewhere else. I'm surprised the Hornets never traded Monk. Then again, maybe they tried but never found any takers.

good point.  I think other teams realized they could get him in free agency without giving us anything.

Monk melted down late last year when we really needed him

and his defense was always terrible

great to have him, but he’s now another seat down the bench and he wants way too much money

we ended up with the worst kentucky guys in the league

If JB had been more willing to play him, they probably could have gotten something for him. JB never liked Monk though. Neither did Clifford.

Well, I sure don't blame them. Clifford was canned shortly after he raised hell about not drafting Mitchell. JB must have seen how inconsistent and immature Monk was and did not want to bet his career on someone so volatile. 

i hope MJ learned from the whole saga of forcing him on the team instead of Mitchell.

Oh how glorious it is to see the team in good hands now.

Monk is restricted which means we can match any deal…or am I missing something?

we would have had to extend the qualifying offer to him to make him restricted.. we didn't - in which case - he walks

No surprise on either

wonder how much they offered Graham?

because we put the qualifying offer on Graham - A) we can match any offer he is given by another team.. B) if no one offers him anything - he can play under that number and become a UFA next year.. C) we can also work on a long-term deal with him and his agent to lock him in and he never becomes a UFA..

Option C is the likely scenario - we just gotta figure out what the numbers and years are..

someone could come in a throw him a BAG $$$ but they would have to offer him something over $15m a year for us to start thinking about letting him walk and not matching - but I don't think teams have that type of space this year to offer a backup PG that type of coin..

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
