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.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
