Yeah at this point you have to call it like it is and admit it would take a miracle for Jordan to suddenly become a good owner and lead this franchise to any level of consistent success. This is how we will likely remain for the foreseeable future unless something drastic happens. Even if we got the first pick I would expect us to fug that up somehow too.

I have enormous respect for Lamelo Ball that he is still going out there and balling for this ridiculous franchise.  His ass is gone asap and I would support him doing it

Hot take. *If* LeBron goes on to be a top GM, owner, etc, that will vault him to the GOAT status in the NBA (not just player, but overall). 

The bottom line is, MJ needs to get his poo together if he doesn't want to soil his legacy.

We honestly need to wonder if MJ even cares.  The Hornets were an investment and winning was never the reason he bought into this.  He will never go over the luxury tax to win…that I am 100% sure of.

Agree. But, is that GOAT behavior?  I think not. If he doesn't want to tarnish his basketball legacy, he either realizes he is a shitty GM/Personnel guy and gets out of his own way or gets out. 

He is the common denominator in all of this, so unless strongly proven otherwise, it is on him.

I swear if fans ran the damn team we would be better off. I don't even mind the moves today and still think we are a crap franchise. I understand moving Jalen bc we weren't going to resign him. Glad we moved Plumlee bc I'm sick of watching him play. My issue is we didn't just bite the bullet and move on from Hayward and Rozier.

and Warriors basically gave Wiseman away for Five 2nd Rounders.. wtf yo

It may seem crazy, but apparently there’s teams out there that will trade lottery picks for a bunch of second rounders and a late round 1 pick. The Warriors now have a lot of second rounders to entice such boneheaded teams and move up to pick 13 or so…

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
