Can the Hornets ever win the Eastern Conference

Can the Hornets ever win the Eastern Conference?  Let me know

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.

Ball and Jones, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!

Shinn was too stupid to curse anything. Just a redneck version of Tepper.

We need several good drafts. However since we seem to like trading lottery picks for picks in the 20's a year later I don't see this happening.

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

No.

And FTR…

…”market size” has absolutely nothing to do with it .

Lasry & Edens are a prime example of what is required for success…
