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…

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

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

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
