This is the best thing that could happen for the franchise. They may have a chance to compete with all of the MJ sycophants cleared out.

What a chickenshit move by MJ. Can't make it work, quit. 

I am kind of kidding, but this may be good for the team to have new blood leading, these guys have proven they don't know what they are doing.

I will miss having the GOAT as owner, but he wasn't putting the required resources in the team...There were several reports that head coaches passed up our offers becuase we didn't want to pay assistants. We were the exact opposite of Tepper and the Panthers.

These two guys in Woj's report...they aren't rich at all. I surely hope that some mega rich guy comes in an blows MJ away with an offer

Tepper? May as well make it a clean sweep for Charlotte.

The Hornets are so far behind a lot of the NBA when it comes to infrastructure. Look at the Greensboro Swarm - they have a horrendous franchise record, there are no resources invested in that at all.

That said, MJ has been good on the business side. People forget how atrocious Bob Johnson and the Bobcats were. No TV deal, no sponsors, no connection to the community. MJ fixed all that. In part why he's in for a big payday.

Loved MJ as a player, but he's been complete ass as an owner.  Sadly, I don't think him selling is going to make much of a difference.  Unfortunately, I've accepted this franchise is not ever going to be good or a perennial contender.

Golden State Warriors were crap before they sold. Bucks too. It just takes the right smart, rich owner.

Best Hornets news in years. Winning the lottery or at least moving up to 2 to get Scoot would top it. Jordan great player but it literally could not get worse as an owner, what a mess he's made with this team since he bought.

To a group that has someone as a minority Hawks owner? Weird.

why? lots of minority owners are just waiting in line to become majority owners when a team goes up for sale. Tepper was a steelers minority owner for a long time waiting to buy a team.

      That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  Only Young can tell where that goes and everybody just has to wait for real football. That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of talking to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.

      Good lawd, look at the amount of rotation required for a mere 40-yard pass. No wonder he needs a runway for any throw beyond 50 yards.  Can you think of any NFL quarterback today who has a weaker arm than Bryce? For reference, with a similar amount of hip rotation, Stroud slung the ball 69 yards. https://x.com/VatorSports/status/1728845724434186374

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.
