you mean the guy who was deliberately fed false information by the team since they were the Bobcats?

I mean, seriously? The only thing that Bonnell broke was blood alcohol level while typing

He (Bridges) is also the second Hornets player in franchise history with at least two 30-point games in his first three appearances of the season, joining former teammate Kemba Walker.

Oh come on, we did not resign Kemba because he was not worth the price he wanted, as proved by his being bought out.
Plus, we got the better player (Terry) for less money.
That's excellent GMing.
We can match any offer on Miles and can go over the cap if we have too. If we are winning, Jordan is going to pay more.
Lastly, the Batum stretch runs out this season and we would suck without Hayward whose contract is entirely fair for his output.
Time to put away the frown and get on the bandwagon dude.

Miles' agent was probably asking for the max, or very close to it, and Kupchak figured if the price can't really go any higher than the team might as well wait it out and be sure the end of last season wasn't an aberration.
The team shouldn't be financially constrained, I would imagine with Melo on board they're probably bringing in more revenue than they have in years. If they can win 45+ games and make a bit of noise in the playoffs that will be even more true.
At worst they re-sign Miles for the max and pay luxury tax for one season. If MJ's not willing to do that he really should just hang it up. In July 2023 Ish, Oubre and Plumlee all come off the books saving the team $25 million. In July 2024 Hayward's $31 million comes off the books just in time to dump a giant bag of money at Melo's feet.
