The Charlotte Hornets have a number of moves they would like to make.
1)
We would like to offer Nicolas Batum a 5 year contract starting at 22 million with 7.5% raises and a player option in the final year. $127,784,602.30 While this is a few million shy of a max contract it is more guaranteed money than you can get anywhere else. You have said on multiple occasions that you would like to stay a Hornet and have "unfinished business," here in Charlotte.
You have also stated "First time [you] got to play like [you] want to in eight years in the NBA." We will continue to play through you and have you and Kemba Walker be our 1a and 1b scoring options.
We'd like to keep this core together that won 48 games last year and continue to build. You are crucial part of this core and we look to you to be a major foundation piece of this franchisee. Once we get MKG back from injury we are confident in our ability to be one of the top seeds in the East over the next half decade.
If possible, we'd like you to wait to sign the deal as a way for us to keep open cap space as a way to farther improve the team.

Marvin Williams to the maximum allowed early bird contract of 4 years for $49 million with the last year being partially guaranteed ($3 million).
Marvin, you were a perfect fit for this Hornets team and last year was easily the best of your career. You, like Nic, have stated you love being apart of this team and would return even at a discount. All the Hornets even flew back in to attend your birthday party a little over a week ago.
We appreciate all the hard work you've put into your game adding the ability to pump and drive to the rim and your increasing marksmen like 3 point shooting. We want to give you a contract you deserve and that is we are offering you the maximum allowed possible on the longest term deal possible. We realize as you get older having consistency is of paramount importance so instead of taking a short term contract where a team can discard you, we want you here for the long term.

3) We'd like to offer
E'twaun Moore our room exception for two years with a player option in the 2nd year.
E'Twaun we think you're a great young player and think it's time you deserve consistent backup PG minutes on a playoff team. We'd like you to get the same boost that Jeremy Lin would get after taking the same contract last offseason.
In your first year as a Hornet you'd be able to make just short of what you'd made in your previous 4 years in the NBA. We value you immensely and that's why are making you an offer on the first day of free agency.
4) We'd like to waive the cap holds of Al Jefferson, Tyler Hansborugh, Jorge Gutierrez
5)
We'd like to extend a QO to Troy Daniels at $1,215,696.

The Hornets would be open to discuss this if Lee was interested and the Kings would be willing to give up a 2019 2nd round pick.
Having said that, Wizards are looking to offer your client 4-year contract, starting at $6m, 4.5% raises or
