Meh, I disagree. We just have to get a GM that knows how to Draft well. No one thought a team like OKC could contend at the top. Or Cleveland for instance. It can happen, but the NBA is a different beast. We have to hit on our Draft picks, and not pick complete and utter poo when we do Draft. 

I'm not sure the NBA will let the Hornets "hit" on draft picks.

Kind of simple solutions to that, honestly. Draft Beal over MKG. Draft Booker over Frank. Two simple solutions, and we're not here talking about this poo today. 

Yeah but it looks like Cho has a life time seat at the table so idk the point of anything.

I heard there is less than 1% chance we trade Kemba away.. our fanbase is not stable enough to dump the best player in franchise history.. unless you want the arena to look like it did the other night because of the snow storm - Don't do this..

I am on board with riding out the season.. I don't trust the Front Office - AT ALL - to trade him away - and we don't look like complete ret*rds with our d*cks hanging out..

In a way, I feel the fan base is already at that point, but not sure you risk it.

Every fan with half a brain new signing Batum to the max was a fuging awful move. That move alone forces us to just go out and compete for atleast another season and a half before we can think of tanking and shedding some salary.

If we are going to tank / trade Kemba for hopefully young players and a good pick we should have already fired Clifford and the rest of the coaching staff. He is a vets coach and doesn't care to play young players.

Our Front office is a complete mess. Jordan has to know from a financial stand point Kemba is the only draw to the team. Trade him and the Hornets will bleed money for the next few years at least.

That is a great point - But I read it as this is a RED FLAG that Cho doesn't have a "life time seat" And is at risk of getting fired.. and everyone knows GMs in danger will do either 1 of 2 things to try and save their job:
A) Hit the Reset button and beg ownership to let them hang around to see the process out thru the draft..
B) Make a panic-move trade that brings in some short-term help that usually never pans out..

We are staring down option "A" when I think the Walker/Dwight combo is getting better and better as the season goes on..

I am also in the camp that thinks Walker would hang around and Re-up with us next offseason.. maybe I'm stupid, but he seems to be the guy that wouldn't "chase a ring" and be content with being the King of Charlotte for a lifetime..

I think Kemba WOULD stick around as well, but who knows.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
