And for the Hornets babysteps like that are needed.

Finishing 4 games over .500 and a 10th seed same as last year is not a success. Baby steps do the hornets no good because everybody around you is RAPIDLY improving (Cleveland, bulls). Its gets you nowhere and is a losers mentality.

Yup, Hornets took out their trash.  Too bad our Panthers will waste another year with theirs...  that, and you can get rid of the owner.😂

Borrego had a team that shouldn't of been in the play-in games.  But he just loved to have those random skids when we should have been rolling.  They should have been in the Toronto/Bulls tier with how they played. Time for them to land a big and a fresh HC that can coach up a playoff squad with Miles & Lamelo.

At least MJ did the right thing and got rid of Borrego

23 > 33 > 43…

…only the Sun & Warriors have also gone +10, +10 in same time frame.

Bear case is consistent lack of defensive effort signals the players had given up on or tuned out Coach.

Jordan won’t pay up for a top/established coach…he’ll just hire another scrub or newbie.

Full Disclosure: I am not a basketball fan and don't follow the Hornets.

My general impression from listening to fans talk though was that most people liked Borrego.

From what I've always seen, it was a fairly even split between those that liked him and those that didn't. I didn't mind him. The team improved each year under JB, but they lost the play-in game badly this year and last year. Guess the Hornets' FO decided he just couldn't get the team to take the next step and parted ways. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a casual hornets fan but I thought they lost too many to the worst teams.  They could have been in the top 6 if they had beat the teams they should have.

To be fair, they did win more against better teams this year.  I won't pretend I know if jb should have been retained but it seemed they underperformed their talent to me.

Borrego was closer to a Rivera kinda guy. People liked him but stubborn about playing his vets over talented young guys just sitting on the bench. Also choking in back to back play-in games, basically playing street ball against coaches that came in with playoff level game plans.

Exactly, which is why I think he had plateaued as a professional HC.  I like the man, but Mitch and MJ did the right thing by making the change now with young Melo and Miles.  We can't waste the prime years of exceptional talent while waiting for pro coaches to "figure it out".  We've been down that road too long.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
