Brandon Miller reportedly wants a rookie-scale extension closer to the maximum he is eligible for, which is worth up to $275 million over five years. Reports say he is aiming for a deal like Amen Thompson's five-year, $208 million extension with Houston. Miller has until Monday at 6 p.m. ET to sign, or he becomes a restricted free agent next summer. With LaMelo Ball traded this offseason, Miller is expected to lead the Hornets.
"Very challenging for the Hornets to get anywhere below that five-year, $200 million threshold that Miller is seeking." — Jake Fischer
Fantasy angleMiller averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists last season, and Ball's exit leaves him as Charlotte's lead option.
