I'm not worried about Miller after one summer league game. The talent is there. But looking at some of the other performances the Hornets clearly still have a knack for putting players on the court that look like they don't even belong in the sport.

Keep fighting the good fight fellas

Hornets basketball folks...

Tepper is worth 18.5 billion I'm sure he can figure out how to keep real grass and still keep the lights on.

This isn’t a great roster yet but there is really no reason this cannot be a playoff roster. Once Jordan is officially gone the new decision makers need to move on from both dinosaurs Clifford and Kupchak and begin anew.

Keep the pick and draft BPA. Doing anything more than that is why Mitch Kupchak was run out of L.A.

I have high hopes for TMJ but no matter what happens in camp I need to see it in preseason too. We've already seen the training camp MVP storyline play out before.

"For whatever reason, that never materialized in Buzz City, and how much Mike’s at fault for demeaning his guys’ confidence during games of one-on-one, or re-hiring Steve Clifford, is in the eye of the ticket-holders. I’m not here to give MJ a pass for banking on Frank Kaminsky over Devin Booker, or Malik Monk in lieu of Donovan Mitchell, but I’m also not going to act like small-market franchises ever enter an offseason with leverage."

I've heard vaguely of him speaking to Bouknight. Heard of him speaking to Hayward in trying to lure him here. But I'm talking about actively engaging your players on a consistent basis and trying to help them improve their game and the younger kids transitioning to the NBA not on one random encounter here and there. If you thinks he's done enough or more than he could cool we'll just disagree. But he's the GOAT not some random veteran.

Exactly. Why these two clowns? Jordan is the 90's goat and he refused to bestow knowledge or even an attempt at guiding or developing our young players over the years and then he sells to these two? That's about as close as you can get to a fug you to the fans if I've ever seen one. I'm just saying. And I grew up a massive Jordan fan.

Okay I kinda rescind my final remark. Let JCole have personnel input. The empty suits only need to worry about finances.

Selling the team to two of the most milquetoast meh options available. Fug Michael Jordan.

I can appreciate the effort here. But I just can't sell myself on trading for other teams leftovers as being the recipe to end our 20 year playoff series win drought. Why do the Pelicans (New Orleans yuck) any favors? They've already been gifted two first overall picks within the last decade while we sit at zero. If they are targeting a particular prospect heavily at 2nd overall we should take that prospect ourselves and keep it pushing.

If he's willing to take a cheap prove it deal kick the tires. If not then see who else emerges in camp behind Sanders. You don't have to sink a boatload of money into the position anymore.

Excellent news about the offense. July is going to be fun.

Pretty scathing summary of the Rhule era. Crazy how hard some fans here went in defending him. They know who they are. Awkward.

On one hand the Panthers track record of success the last several years says keep churning. On the other hand one man has been mainly behind those decisions. This is the year we need to begin to turn things around. No more blaming anyone that has walked out the door. It all begins and ends with the current folks in charge. Also if anyone of them are reading this. End the training camp shenanigans and engage your fans more this go around. Read the room.

He's been a great teammate and overall a great locker room presence. As far as his career it just has not panned out the way we had hoped in comparison to other notable Panthers linebackers. Some people don't like him but most in proper perspective like Shaq Thompson. As far as the money that was all unnecessary. But it was Thompson himself who took to Twitter to go on the attack toward anyone including Panthers fans who were suggesting he take a paycut. That just wasn't a good look on his part not in a time where so many financial burdens have been facing average Americans not making millions of dollars annually. But he realized that was not the path forward and corrected course. It's over and done with and most people are happy he's staying.

Many of our elected legislators sit on Twitter all hours of the day and evening wasting keystrokes on nonsense and blocking their constituents. The current american political process overall is joke status. It's ridiculous to put the onus on average citizens to make sure billionaires are not treating American government dollars like their own personal piggy bank. If you want to carry water for billionaires it is within your rights but just own it if that's what you're going to do.

Where are these Will Levis fanboys coming from?

Brian Burns will soon be one of the league's highest paid defenders. And we've paid our new DC who was highly sought after handsomely to oversee the group. That doesn't really sound like an afterthought. I do think the pendulum is swinging more balanced as this team has heavily leaned into a defensive identity over many years. But let's be blunt. What do we have to show for it? Change is not a bad thing. We'll have to see how this approach looks big picture in a year or two.

IE the dysfunction was not all Matt Rhule.

Flip side is if we accept the Rams offer does Evero want to coach here while we rebuild our pass rush from scratch when he can take an offer from another team that isn't lacking at least one really good pass rusher? I hear you completely but there's no such thing as a truly fair price in this current version of the NFL for either of the two most sought after positions (QB and DE). We just have to hope we get lucky enough to time it right to have both without sinking our cap.
