He was the last restricted free agent of the summer he extended. PJ Washington will be a Hornets player for the next three seasons, earning a total salary of $48 million. A tidy sum for a regular player coming out of his career best season.
Come on, case closed. Author of his best season in 2022-23, PJ Washington received the money he wanted. Nearly 50 million ecus for a player who has helped the Hornets to be good not to be too ridiculous every night until mid-April. 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists, alluring totals that will be exploited even more next year, with Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball in form.

This signing – announced by Adrian Wojnarowski – will allow the Hornets to save themselves an additional recruitment at position 4. A rather clever move, therefore, especially when we remember the player’s few strokes, in particular his 43 pawns against the Thunder at the end of last season. Restricted free agent, Charlotte was in a strong position to keep him, the status of the player allowing the franchise to match any offer by making sure to recover the latter.
Not bad for the Hornets! No one-upmanship, and we like PJ or not, he still has a bit of potential to develop.
