The Hornets, defined in a single tweet

At the end of the day the Hornets are victims of terrible drafting and bad resource allocation. We would be the Cleveland Browns of the NBA consistently if not for Kemba.

Real problem is it will take years before this team can make meaningful change. Mitch's hands are tied. So I expect we re-sign Kemba and continue on our mediocre journey for the next three years before we completely blow it up

Sadly you're right. And the "Trade Kemba?" questions pop back up in 2 years, where his value will be diminished compared to recent years.  This team (sadly) has one option to fix things before 5-6 years from now, and that's to let Kemba walk (should've traded him), and blow it up now.  Suck next year with a high payroll, suck the year after with the promise of new, exciting young guys, and clean the cap in the process. Load up on assets, have valuable expiring deals, and let Mitch draft who he wants. MJ, stay the hell outta the way. 

Instead, hello losing franchise for most of the next decade unless we draft the next Kawhi in the 10-14 range one of these years.

And just to pile on, if the hornets even did draft kawaii I'm 90% sure he isn't the player he is today

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
