I believe it is complete. It was completed on the 6th.

The hornets, I’m pretty sure have officially signed jt thor. Who they got with the pick we traded them. I feel like it’s pretty official.

Pretty sure this gives us 15 players WITHOUT Diallo. Just saying.

that it does, but for what it’s worth, I saw on JJ’s Instagram that Diallo was with a bunch of the team in Vegas for the summer league.

also, it’s worth noting that we haven’t rescinded our qualifying offer to Diallo.

Yeah, I'm not saying it means Diallo won't be back, I just thought it was worth noting.

What it does mean is that IF we resign Diallo, someone with a contract is walking.

Maybe giving Diallo time to see what's out there before signing him last. I believe we can go over the cap in his case, so our other signings must come first. If he can't get a big offer he should be brought back. Three years, $15-18m with the third year TO.

There must be another move in the works. I really don't think the current roster will be what we open the season with.

As noted by James Edwards III of The Athletic, McGruder could potentially be brought back on a smaller deal.

They waived him thereby forgoing his $5mil contract. Then they signed him to a vet minimum deal for one year I believe. So Rodney is back.

I'm waiting to see what the final roster looks like.
