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

    • 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. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
