Jordan has long since shed the bad owner label. He’s not the best, but he’s average.

Of the current owners only James Dolan challenges Minimum Mike for single worst NBA owner 👎.

The next  2 years are going to be VERY interesting from a funding perspective -- M.M.'s checkbook is gonna be under serious pressure 🤔...

1.  Will he PAY up for a TOP Head Ball Coach?  Or hire another inexpensive newbie/re-run?

2.  PAY to keep Miles?

3.  PAY for a TOP free-agent/big?

4.  PAY to keep LaMelo?

5.  PAY to go into the Luxury Tax for the 1st time, ever?

These are the moves he will need to make in order to give the moribund Bobcats a chance to break out of their long-term pattern of failure...

...will be very interesting to watch 😎👊...

Three wins from ten matches equals a terrible soccer team.

Lol. Then there are 16 even more terrible soccer teams in the mls with that mentality. We are the 11th best team in the league out of 28 and hold a top 5 home record in the MLS.

 

Yes they haven’t won a road game but neither has ten other teams in the mls. The majority of the league has 1 win or less on the road.

Then why did the coach just get axed?

I don't think he's a bad owner at all. The in stadium experience from Bobcat Johnson to Michael Jordan was a dramatic change for the better. Win or lose, it's a party.

The courts and uniforms are FIRE and his quest to regain the legendary Hornets name will go down in North Carolina lore for generations. He'll take that.

He said publicly many times that IF he finally has that squad that can compete he will pay the luxury tax. He's said that for years.

Is this that squad? Yes. That's why D'Antoni is rumored to be the new HC and his 7 second offense is made for LaMelo. Jordan brought in Mitch as GM. That has been fruitful.

As of now the Hornets have the most accomplished and mature franchise owner in Charlotte sports for sure.

I don't think the Jordan is a bad owner mantra will stand the test of time.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
