I know the Hornets aren't the most well run organization, but there's zero chance, like none that they allowed that offer to expire without doing their due diligence first. He shattered her ear drum. Those pictures are awful. That's before you get into the other issues.
Now that I think about it more, *allowing* the Q.O. to expire is just PR. Miles allowed the Q.O. to expire and he's still a restricted free agent by operation of rule. At this point, the only reason for him not to sign it, and become unrestricted at the end of the year, is if no other team is currently interested anyway.
Is that the nuance?
Because if they rescinded it (or never offered it) he should be unrestricted - there's even an option where both sides can agree to extend it.
Maybe this is the same as him not accepting the QO, which would leave him still restricted.
I'm guessing the Hornets had zero interest in a long-term contract, or paying him not to be there, and Miles isn't in a position where he can commit to being there.
