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.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
