With the Dumpster fire going on now which was/is the Worst

 

Jerry was stingy and didn't want to invest much leading to the CBA it was reported and moves such as trading a Future 1st for Everrett Brown, the eventual 33rd pick for Jimmy Clausen etc etc crippled this organization and plunged them to the worst in football.

 

The Hornets now.  Just lowballed the best player in franchise history.  Turned down a trade for him last year for what would have been the #8 overal pick and Marvin Williams (big contract off the books).  The owner is also is stingy and refuses to spend the money.  The Hornets are 1 of 2 organizations to Never spend a dime of Luxery Tax.

The NBA is not the NFL. You arent winning a championship without having a Top 10 player. The only teams in the last 20 years to do so are the Pistons who had a pretty stacked team and 2014 Spurs who still had 3 hall of famers and Kawhi beginning to come into his own. The Hornets arent winning a title with Kemba as its best player, you might as well save the money, tank until Batum and Marvin Williams contracts come off the books and hopefully you find yourself with top 10 picks for 3 years in a row to build around. Look at the Sixers, if they resign Butler they will compete for a title for the next 5 years. Do you think they regret tanking for 3 years to get Embiid, Simmons?

Stop.  If you think letting Kemba walk with absolutely no compensation is a good move you are stupider than they are

Shinn is the worst sports owner this city has ever had. 

Johnson, Richardson, and Jordan aren’t much to write home about, either. Tepper doesn’t really have to do much to be the best. Hell, him building that practice bubble already has him in consideration as the best lol

Also Hornets just signed Terry Rozier for 20 million a year

that should be a wrap.

This is just sad. Charlotte just added another shitty contract for 3 years. As if they need more bad contracts. Charlotte doesn't deserve this team. Whoever thought the greatest player ever would be the worst owner ever? He needs to sell the team to a owner who knows how to run a team. MJ doesn't know basketball talent sadly.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
