This franchise should be disbanded and its assets auctioned off

Looks like the right move to me. Hornets are going nowhere even with Kemba who is not getting younger. As currently constructed this team is going to get another 10th pick and give fans little hope for the future. Something has to be done. I do agree that Cho and Clifford should be shown the door. However, Jordan has to hire a good GM. The team as it is is not impressing fans in a historically enthusiastic basketball market.

The Nets pick if sent to the Hornets will be the new star of the Greensboro Swarm, destined to average 1.2 ppg in 4 mpg for two seasons in Charlotte before being shipped off for a second-round pick.

Guaranteed.

This franchise will be dead within 72 hours unless Cho's phone is broken.

So 1 deal that works would be:

Cavs get:  Kemba and Batum

Hornets get:  Thompson, Shumpert and Thomas + Nets pick

Sucks I agree, but an extra lottery pick and no Batum contract...at least we get something out of it.

I dont want to take back JR Smith in this deal.  Cavs have to make a move IMO to win now so maybe they do it.

Also, I would think they would draft a PG as I doubt they resign Thomas to a big deal.

In essence giving Batum that contract would cost us Kemba.  Hard pill to swallow there.

The problem is they will never play any draft pick more than 2 minutes a game unless they're sent down to the Swarm, so this trade really only benefits the Cavs and the Swarm

I know it sucks Cho has put us in a terrible position here.  Not playing the young talent if Kemba leaves would be beyond stupid, but they are beyond stupid.

I predict the Hornets trade Kemba, fans revolt, Jordan fires Cho at the end of the season when it's too late to save the franchise. IT is let go, MCW starts at PG next season, the team goes 24-58 and Clifford gets fired. Kemba wins a ring, the Hornets finish last in attendance, 2,000/game less than 29th, they draw the 9th pick in the draft and take another bust to match the two drafted this summer (one of which will already be traded for peanuts by this time next year).

Being a Charlotte NBA fan is like a 12-round boxing match.

We won the first two rounds before George Shinn delivered some heavy blows. It took a lot to recover, but Rich Cho is delivering the KO sometime in the next 64 hours. It won't be an instant death, but one that develops over a few years.

The original Hornets were amazing to watch, such a blast.  WTF happened?  Ugg.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
