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.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
