Serious (and not so serious) ownership predictions

Let's go ahead and engage in some unfounded speculation (unlike what we usually do here).

Things you predict could happen depending on which bidder wins the Panthers sale, whether serious or... not so much.

 

If David Tepper buys the team...

Someone from the Steelers front office takes over as GM.

The "family" atmosphere is gone. From here on out it's all business.

Upgrades to team facilities and maybe even an indoor practice facility could become possibilities.

The team institutes a reward program where the player who makes a difference in the game gets a set of brass balls instead of the game ball.

 

If Ben Navarro buys the team...

A consultant is brought in to help overhaul the team's operation. Joe Gibbs could be an option.

The team will make more of an effort to market in South Carolina.

Training camp most likely stays in South Carolina, but may not stay at Wofford.

People who get behind on their PSL or season ticket payments suddenly start getting aggressive collection goals.

 

If Alan Kestenbaum buys the team...

Justified or not (and probably not) people start talking about the possibility of the team moving to Canada.

A consultant likely comes into play here too, maybe a guy like Ernie Accorsi.

The team motto becomes "Keep poundin, eh."

(yes I know he's originally from Brooklyn; don't take it so seriously)

 

What else ya got?

Dave Tepper would run the franchise like George Bluth

Ben Navarro would run the franchise like Jack Donaghy 

Alan Kestenbaum would run the franchise like Sam Malone

 

Me personally, I want someone to run the franchise like Frank Reynolds runs paddy's pub.

George Soros buys the team. He then institutes a "guns-for-tickets" program, whereby fans can trade in their guns for game tickets so the guns can be melted into an Obama statue. Everyone with a red MAGA hat will angrily boycott the team, but the business will remain profitable through a successful tenure that includes re-signing Cam and Luke as well as hiring 9/11 truther Pete Carroll to both coach the team and put up a new locker room sign, "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams."

      Hornets Acquire Collin Sexton

      Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

      I don’t think I'd go that far but there is definitely legitimate reason to ask how much he actually values winning and being great as a basketball player. He is very easily distracted with off the court stuff. This has been a public criticism of people like LeBron James with some of the newer generations of "stars". And it is 1000% valid and needed to be said. All I can say is I hope this is the year. If it is it will be apparent fairly early on. But I get the sense if the same themes continue as the upcoming season progresses the FO could look to move him before the trade deadline. It would suck for a multitude of reasons and I don't want to see it happen but if it did it would be on LaMelo and LaMelo alone because they've given him the keys and are finally putting pieces around him. If he wants to be a great basketball player and win he will be here and do what is necessary for the team to be successful. If not well....
