Charlotte extended a qualifying offer to the forward on Tuesday, which allows them a chance to match any offer sheet made by another organization.

"As an organization, we love Miles," Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said Tuesday, per the ESPN report. "We are going to bring him back. He has been great for the franchise, and I believe, with his work ethic, he's only going to get better.''
