There was a tiny part of me that felt bad for buying courtside seats at the Mavs game primarily so I could hurl insults at James when the Hornets were in town.  But that look and smiles the players gave me when I was telling them to ignore him and do their own thing was so damn telling, and hilarious.  Good riddance to that bum.

Tepper should just buy the Hornets. Then he could corner the market on SUCK in Charlotte.

Isn't Jordan doing pretty well in that regard himself?

I've heard a couple of people echo the sentiment that Borrego wasn't the problem.

Jordan definitely has had his flaws no doubt but moving on from Borrego was the right call. Whoever said he was not the problem is either confused or did not watch much Hornets basketball the last few years.

What will Borrego's legacy be in Charlotte?

Vardon: James Borrego is a nice man. There is no getting past it. He will leave a legacy of decency and one of being LaMelo’s first coach. Also, the Hornets were 20 games better this season than they were two years ago.

So, depending on how they do under the new guy (or gal!), Borrego’s legacy could be as a table-setter.

The problem with that line of thinking is that with the new lottery odds, tanking doesn't guarantee you near as much in the NBA as it does in the NFL. Far better to try and compete.

I'll readily concede that I can't claim to follow the NBA anymore except in passing, so my notion may very well be based on outdated info. I'd disagree only to say that the middle of the pack still seems like purgatory, but if tanking doesn't meaningfully improve your odds in the draft, a change that would seem a smart one if your goal is to incentivize every team to always compete, then teams will have to get more creative in their approach to getting better.

Regardless, one of the factors that has caused me to lose interest in the Hornets from the days of my youth is their perpetual existence just in or just out of the playoffs. There hasn't been a compelling reason for me to be excited about the team for.....

*looks at watch*

...at least 20 years.

I assume you arent watching Charlotte FC this year... they are far from terrible. Not great (14th team out of 28 in the league). However, FAR from terrible.

If I ever start a garage band (I can't even read music) FAR from Terrible will be on the short list of band names along with Close to Tedium and Halfway to Hagerstown.

It's not that I really want to play music, I just have a dream to stand on a stage and scream into a microphone "Hello Des Moines! Make some noise!" and have an assemblage of drunken teenagers and stoned,emotionally stunted adults make noises and gestures displaying various levels of enthusiasm.

If you're gonna dream, dream big.

No.

To do that he would need to always be the person in front of me in traffic and the drive through line.

Also he'd have to buy out the state highway dept. and run the road crews that are indigenous to I-85.

And somehow be in charge of the weather in August, which I'm sure we can all agree is wholly unacceptable. No one should be covered in their own sweat 20 seconds after stepping outside. Gross.

You're right about Jordan, but since Tepper has a horrible football team and a terrible soccer team, why not add basketball to the portfolio of shame?

As unimpressed (at best) as I am with Tepper's handling of the Panthers, it's tough to cast judgment on a team in its literal first season of existence. Pass issued for that one at least until next year, more likely year 3.

      Would you trade back from pick #101 to add a fifth rounder?

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      At a certain point these late rounders just become like UDFAs. I personally don’t see much value in them. Looking at our draft history we haven’t had a good 5th-7th rounder in 10 years. We actually had a pretty good run of them with Hurney. Hardy, Norman, AJ Klein, Munnerlyn. But yeah the past 10 years we may as well have not even had the picks so I’d just as soon not trade back to add a worthless 5th rounder, and is also the reason I felt the trade up from 33 to 32 for the 5th yr option was so worth it because ultimately swapping a 5th for a 6th rounder seems absolutely meaningless.

      There are multiple TE and multiple CB at the top of the board right now - definitely not the time to trade back when need matches value like this

      Who are the day 3 prospects you want to see us target?

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      This is the part of the draft where you have to take a good hard look at which players fit your scheme and culture.  Outside of the 4th round there isn't really a huge difference in who gets drafted vs quality undrafted free-agents. We are more than likely going to trade 101 if we can pick up another 5th or 6th. That would be a spot where we can draft for need/BPA.  If I were Dan Morgan, I'd be focusing on TE or Edge rusher.  If they really think Franklin is truly a late 2nd or 3rd round talent, that would be a solid move.  I really like Cade Stover, but not at 101.  If I were to identify him as a target I'd trade back a few spots.  Looking at the talent available for the 4th round I don't think he'll be picked until at least mid round. We also need to look at free agent value vs draft value here too.  If we are not in love with any of these Center prospects, how do they compare to current free agents: C Connor Williams Mason Cole Brian Allen Lucas Patrick Connor McGovern Scott Quessenberry Nick Gates Edge Emmanuel Ogbah Yannick Ngakoue Carl Lawson Jerry Hughes Charles Harris Dawuane Smoot Bud Dupree Tyus Bowser Marquis Haynes Rasheem Green Markus Golden Shaq Lawson LB: Deion Jones Zach Cunningham CB  Xavien Howard Adoree’ Jackson Stephon Gilmore Steven Nelson Patrick Peterson J.C. Jackson Ahkello Witherspoon Keion Crossen Tre Herndon Eli Apple Chandon Sullivan Fabian Moreau Jerry Jacobs WR (fits our needs) Hunter Renfrow Michael Gallup Scotty Miller I would look to bring Gilmore, Deion Jones, and Haynes back.  Looking at the center market, we could get experienced depth out of that group via free agency.  I wouldn't force a prospect unless we know he fits the scheme.  Additionally, if we are looking to start Corbet, does that mean we can't rule out a guard or tackle that we could convert to a center over the course of the season?  Most linemen are trained, at some level, to play all 5 positions. We have three picks over the next 100 selections.  If we don't value the BPA at 101 over everyone else from the list below, I would take just about any three or more of these 25 guys listed below.   Top Targets day 3: Franklin WR Tampa CB Booker Edge Javon Baker WR Carson CB Erick All TE Dolrus Edge Brenden Rice WR Cam Hart CB Jackson CB Stover TE MacLachlan TE Brenner Jackson Edge Wilely TE Cedric Johnson Edge Mohamed Kamara Edge Hunter Nourzad C AJ Barner TE Christian Mahogany G/C Gabriel Murphy Edge Jordan Jefferson DT/NT Javontae Jean-Batiste EDGE Tommy Eichenberg LB Eric Watts DE/DT Braiden McGregor EDGE
