Profit sharing among owners. More ‘desirable’ matchups garner more viewership, leads to more revenue generated and more profit for everyone invested. Y’all don’t think there will ever be a Titans vs Panthers SB, do you? lol, yeah right. Tampa vs Jacksonville? Now that’s funny. Now, do I think there is ‘the man’ who overlords over all of this? Nah, but bias, even among refs, owners and media can, will, does, and always exist when there is $$ involved. Refs are people too. Probably football fans, and as such, probably have a favorite team and a favorite player ( why would a non-fan ever become a ref). There is no way officiating will be completely impartial when this is the case. Might be an interesting idea (not in a stalker ish way) to see where each ref grew up/lives, then you could see their likely allegiance. What if 2 refs officiated the same game and they both grew up in say SF, Dallas, Philly or New York? Impartial officiating. Nah. Would you be? Panthers need a FG to advance in the playoffs, it’s third and long with 45 sec left in the game… obvious hold on your Your team’s center? You calling that? Don’t lie, you know you wouldn’t.

Player Culture vs Staff Culture What are some pros and what are some cons of this?

Somehow never getting the #1 pick since what, 91? When you have a team as bad as this team for the last 25 years there should have been more chances at number 1 and that's how you know the NBA is a bad product for most teams' fans.

This franchise is truly bottom feeder level. Terrible draft.

I think they look at it as investment first too which is why it makes sense. It's nefarious if your not fiscally invested and spend money and time on it. That's why people are still cheering on Luigi... I still think it would take a few big scandals to change much. See how long Snyder was around and what he was up to the entire time.

But talentless teams don't need more talent according to Mitch. But I guess he couldn't come out and say Micheal is cheap as fug so we traded the pick.

I hate this team. New owners new GM new coach same turd franchise

It’s in the running for worst franchise in pro sports no doubt about it. Always without fail missing the star players over and over.

I just left my mark. Which also has a strong fragrance...

Thunder Dan 2.0

And one of the bigs went off the board immediately after. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another big go before we pick again.

They have 2 picks coming up soon

Or a good basketball player that is a good shooter who played his best against the best this year. Good size and athleticism. Freshman entry. Not sure what anyone is looking for atp that is better than this guy.

How do you not draft a big to try to develop after trading Williams?

YT lol

Hornets FO: All your whites are now belong to us.

Oh look a non athletic horrible shooter. He will fit right in.

LOL, Hugo goes right before us. Kalkbrenner incoming Theiro would be fun with Melo

What a pathetic excuse for an NBA team. The league has made this franchise a punch line for late night TV jokes if they even remember the team exists. I GREW UP IN CHARLOTTE and followed the team in the good years and even I still forget the Hornets still exist sometimes. The truth is there is no reason for this team to exist. Delete franchise and follow college basketball.

You know the Mark Williams trade would make a lot more sense if we had someone like, say, Jalen Duren on the roster as well. When it’s all said and done we’ll have traded Mark Williams and Jalen Duren for Nick Smith Jr. and 6 d league players. Somebody needs to tell the Hornets that collecting a bunch of d league players won’t cause them to Voltron into lottery picks. We’ve got a sign around our necks “will trade lottery picks for all your most worthless picks”

Beyond a standing ovation. With all that work. As storylines do bring in big cash! And hopefully ratings for TV/media!

I mean we have to pick Hugo Gonzalez. It’s in the stars

You don’t have to be convinced of a fact. I think maybe it’s just a form of passive income for the owners and they get some tax write offs, then the money just makes itself… i think they are in complete agreement and are complicit in facilitating talent to other teams as the league office or franchise hierarchy dictates. It’s clear we haven’t been trying to win for a long time.

LOL…added to the deal for Mark from the Suns is Vasilije Micic. We barely missed you dog! How ridiculous
