Hornets protect Theo Maledon with ‘qualifying offer’

Absent from the France group for the World Cup, Theo Maledon will console themselves with a “qualifying offer”. Arrived in Charlotte with a “two-way contract”, the French leader was able to convince Steve Clifford and the leaders, to the point of playing more than half of the matches, and to average nearly 7 points. He finished on a high note with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists against Cleveland.

If he does not find better this summer, Maledon will therefore be able to accept a one-year contract at 1.8 million dollars.

The former Thunder leader is not the only one to win a “qualifying offer” since the Hornets have decided to protect PJ Washington and… Miles Bridges! Suspended by the NBA for domestic violence, Bridges had not won a contract extension last summer, and the Hornets care about him since they decided to protect it with a “qualifying offer” of 7.9 million dollars.

Two years ago, Bridges turned down a four-year, $60 million offer as he was aiming for a contract in excess of $100 million twelve months later. After a year without playing, maybe he will have to settle for this last year of the contract at 7.9 million dollars.
