Hornets Sign Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to 4-Year, $52 Million Extension

There have been mixed opinions about Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s three years as a Hornet, but after signing a new extension, MGK will have at least four more years to make a good impression upon Charlotte faithful.

AP source: Hornets agree on 4-year, $52 million contract extension with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Yahoo Sports was first to report the deal.
