I personally feel this team could sneak it's way into the playoffs (20-23 wins) and probably dominate the entire East for the next 3-5 years. With plenty of picks left in the closet the Hornets could still make a move in the off-season when unloading Mike Con 10.7 Pat Conn 9.4 Ty Jones 7.0 at 12.8 you have Coby that you'll need to retain with some of these funds and may risk losing the rest of the group, but will have 15-20 to retain/spend on role players if I'm mathing correctly. I'd spend it on bringing on a veteran shooting center looking for a ring or 3.

Ball Kon/White Miller Giannis Moussa/KB

Conley/Jones Kon/White McNeely Williams Moussa/KB

40 mil to retain Coby and above or find the perfect shooting veteran center...Pat n Ty will take less to win!

Mike Conley 2026 NBA champion, retires! Well deserved!!

MIL needs to make another trade on their end to clear up the frontcourt and being in more picks or young talent to start rebuilding this summer.

Be the vision and see the wealth of opportunity Charlotte will miss out on if they don't jump?!
