After two months on the market, Washington has finally reached a deal with the Hornets.
With LaMelo Ball under contract until next summer and Brandon Miller arriving in Charlotte prior to the start of the season, the most pressing bit of business involving a player who could leave this free agency period revolved around fifth-year forward P.J. Washington. A consistent piece of the team’s starting unit for most of his tenure in the Queen City, Washington entered restricted free agency this summer, and was among the more productive players to hit RFA market.
Washington was a difficult player to gauge heading into free agency, as it stood to reason that both the Hornets would not let him go and he could attract interest from other teams.
