Do we have any idea who has more say this weekend? Rhule or Hurney?

Any of you have any ideas or educated guesses?

When we hired Rhule didn’t we sell him on having a lot of “organizational control”? And Hurney’s contract is almost up and there was that thread last week that he could be on his way out after the draft. If that’s true why would it make sense to give him literally anything say at all?

On the other hand, Panthers beat writers seem to think it’ll be Brown because it’s a “total Hurney pick.”

I have to disagree 100%.  If Gettleman was still here, I would concur.  Simmons screams Hurney. Better athlete than football player.  Marty loves him versatile, athletic players, especially when it comes to guys outside of the trenches.

I don't know but if Hurney wasn't involved at some level of the process, unfortunately at all involved, then why is he still here? None of the dots really connect right now and I am eager to know how much more that guy can inflict his miserable job skills on the team in any way.

My guess is at this time he is anywhere from a fully functioning GM working with the HC and owner to a subordinate of the owner and HC. If he turns out to be a lame duck GM then we will know this weekend because we all know what a Hurney draft looks like and not having one of those would be a huge positive going forward.

It had really better be Hurney. Hurney's had his eyes on the entire draft process while Rhule spent his time coaching at Baylor, moving to NC, getting a staff together, etc. It would be organizational malpractice to keep the GM on a lame-duck deal and not even let him make the decision that he's there to make. The coach should have input as always, but the GM has to be the GM.

Yes, letting the guy draft who is literally terrible outside of round 1 instead of our bright young head coach seems like a plan destined for success

Yeah I do know Hurney is calling in picks from what I read from yesterday. He might know he is on the way out and makes some shitty first rd pick to fug with organization. Then there is nothing we could do about it. Then he drops the mic and is out. Lol

The question: could it really be that much worse? comes to mind. At least Rhule has the hope of learning from his mistakes and Hurney is the mistake at this point.

1.  Tepper

2.  Rhule

 

 

 

 

 

8.  Hurndog 

 

Some thoughts from the other day:

Hurndog has no autonomy, he is not functioning as a General Manager akin to what John Lynch or Brandon Beane or Bill Belichik do on a daily basis.  The GM title is something Tepper has chosen to leave in place out of convenience.

Decisions are being made collectively --- Hurndog has a seat at the table and his functions are to gather information and present it, along with an opinion --- but he has no authority to make solo decisions on anything that matters.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
