Charlotte may use the Collin Sexton TPE that they have to acquire Dillingham. Doing so would create a $9.7M TPE for Hield.
This is likely the path the Hornets will take to create a larger TPE that expires later.
@keithsmithnba.bsky.socialThe Bulls will go over the salary cap by acquiring Buddy Hield for Rob Dillingham. Still $34.6M away from the luxury tax.
The Hornets drop to $25.6M under the luxury tax by acquiring Dillingham for Hield. Charlotte created about a $2.7M TPE in the deal too.
