Jordan on his offseason plans
 

“I always thought it was a great destination. I think Big Al (Jefferson) proved you can come here and make a big difference,” Jordan said Monday. “Hopefully we can look at that and attract some other superstar."

 
Jordan on his short term goals
 

Jordan has said his short-term goal is the Hornets becoming a top-four team in the East, which would give them home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They were the seventh seed last month and were swept in the first round by the Miami Heat.

The biggest problem with Melo coming here is... No one has asked permission from his wife. There is no way she's leaving New York.

He's on the wrong side of 30 and his contract could really hamper us if age starts to catch up with him.

He's 30 in basketball age, not running back age. He's fairly young.

We all can (and have) gone back and forth about the positives and negatives of Melo coming to Charlotte. Outside of all of that...do we all agree it would be pretty awesome having a top 15/20 player pick this team?

Every single Charlotte fan would cry tears of joy if we landed Melo.

If Melo comes in and plays the 4 and we find a way to get a legitimate deep threat at the 2 we could be a really good team.

That is the issue.  He won't just play the 4.  He will try to do everything on offense and then nothing on defense.  Going to be hard to change his mind set this far into his career and not sure how that would fly with clifford.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
