age skews it.

if they were of comparable age I would call it a push and your sport preference being the deciding factor. 

Upon further thought, if LeBron was younger I actually say you take LeBron (the whole 1 man has a bigger impact in basketball rationale).  As a current trade, you easily take Cam.

I'm guessing you meant to say internationally.

Well Cam Newton still provides more value to CHARLOTTE than Lebron James could provide. Lebron...older entering the twilight of his career while Cam Newton...younger entering the prime of his career. The question was Cleveland and Charlotte, not USA and the World.

IF Lebrons rings and his accolades came with the trade in a Hornets jersey then yes I would. If not, and it was just a straight up player trade then no. When its all said and done I think Cam will retire with 2 SBs and 3-4 MVPs. An excellent career for sure, but Lebron has been dominant since he entered the league. The MJ+Lebron pairing would elevate Charlotte to the height of the sporting world for decades. 3 championships, 3 Finals MVPs, 4 MVPs, a scoring title, 2 All Star MVPs, 12 all Star appearances, 10 First team all NBA selections, 5 All NBA defensive selections, 2 Gold medals with the national team. That kind of career is absolutely legendary.

In the sense that the NFL dominates the top 10 of the Forbes list of most valuable sports franchises in the world. 

1. Cowboys

6. Patriots 

8. Redskins

9. Giants

10. 49ers/Lakers

The most valuable NBA team on the list doesn't show up until 10 and is ranked behind 4 NFL teams.

I wouldn't wish the Cleveland Browns on anyone, least of all Cam Newton... LOL

But seriously, no - there is no way in mother f**king hell I would ever do this trade and I won't even bother listing the reasons why it would be dumb - they should be obvious to anyone besides the biggest Hornets homers.

      It’s time to discuss DANimal Morgan as our GM

      He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan.

      I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
