Jordan needs to sell this fuging team. He’s clueless as Tepper. Goddamnit can we just get some solid teams with solid leadership in Charlotte? Is that too much to ask? We’re jokes in 2 leagues. And here I was thinking we were building something with Melo and Miles. Tragic. 

The Hornets franchise is cursed with bad trades, poor drafting,  and cheap owners. Throw in loaded ping pong balls in the lottery to.

This is my problem with the trade. I don't mind the player being traded if they liked Williams better. We've seen top 5-20 guys fall before and not be good for the Hornets. My issue is trading a lotto pick for peanuts.

This is a little better, but not much.

So we traded Duren because keeping 2 rookies wasn't "prudent" according to Mitch, but traded him for 6 future Greensboro Swarm members? Got fleeced for marbles. No harm in keeping both guys on the roster through summer league before accepting this poo trade, coulda gotten a way more "prudent" deal.

Going from pure delight picking Duren to total devastation. I had to step away from the computer for a bit. Just turned on MLB for awhile. This team is painful. So close and I am fine with Mark Williams if that's who they liked. But this trade is a disaster. Giving up 13 for that and not dumping Haywards contract is a massive muppet move. Just terrible.

I was very reserved about this draft and considered not watching it.   To see what we actually did here makes me even more depressed with this franchise.  We are clueless

I mean we desperately needed Defense and rebounding. Plumlee/Zeller pick and rolls haven't really done poo for us over the last 5 years if they are useless in the paint

Indeed they haven't, however Duren offered better switchability.. Duren could essentially guard 2-5.. you're not getting that with Mark at all..might as well stick with Plumlee defensively in that situation.. on the contrary.. Williams does offer better shot blocking.. pick your poison.. I personally prefer being able to keep the guy in front of you

To be fair, I think Mark has much more potential offensively than Mason ever had. He's already a better FT shooter and has a decent shot with some range.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
