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 13.0% of the team's $179.7M payroll.

That ranks 80th among the 444 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 17 players on the Charlotte Hornets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $179,704,708.

Charlotte Hornets sit at $179.7M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$28.8M of room below the first apron.
