Naz Reid Contract & Salary

Naz Reid is on the books for $23,275,862 in 2026-27, the 2nd largest cap hit on the Charlotte Hornets roster and 14.4% of the team's $161.7M payroll.

That ranks 81st among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 14.1% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 4 seasons left on it, running through 2029-30, worth $103,448,276 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $23,275,862 in the first year up to $28,448,276 in the last, a 22% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2029-30 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 27, the deal covers his age-27 through age-30 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 15 players on the Charlotte Hornets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $161,691,873.

Charlotte Hornets sit at $161.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$37.5M of room below the first apron.
