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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
