The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly poised to lock down Brandon Miller with a massive five-year, $191 million extension before the deadline—keeping him from hitting free agency next summer as a restricted player. Insider Eric Pincus predicts a first-year salary near $33M, following Miller’s May shoulder surgery and his diligent rehab this summer. Miller, who played 65 games last season averaging over 20 points, is focused on full recovery ahead of training camp in just over a month. With key roster changes expected, Miller’s role will likely expand significantly this season as the Hornets open against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Hornets just pulled off a seismic offseason reset, trading LaMelo Ball and Josh Green for Naz Reid and draft picks, then sending Miles Bridges to the Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and more assets. With their best season in nine years behind them, they’re betting big on young stars Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel, while adding proven vets like Reid, Allen, and O’Neale to stabilize the roster. Coby White steps into the starting PG role at 26, and the team’s bench is stacked with talent and depth. Despite heavy odds, if this unproven but gifted core stays healthy, they could shock the East and make a serious playoff run.
