Anything is possible. Look at the Milwaukee Bucks. All it takes is that one special player and you can win a championship.

The likelihood is low and it’ll have to be through hitting a home run in the draft (probably twice in the span of 2-3 years) but it is possible 

This is the best answer. Don't know if it'll happen in my lifetime though.

The franchise is cursed. Shinn made some voodoo deal before hauling ass out of Charlotte. Plus it is ran by a cheap owner unwilling to do what it takes to have a chance for prosperity. Ironic that MJ kept the 90s Hornets from breaking through and now he is also keeping the Hornets from breaking through.

We will never attract super stars. We need to get lucky and get the #1 pick with a superstar consensus #1 overall pick. But we know how the NBA loves to screw us in the lottery. But if we could and we show we have a dynamic young core, then maybe a star FA or 2 will come. I just don't see it ever happening. I doubt even Lamelo resigns with us with the lights of LA calling his name already

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
