In the end Jordan is doing what he's always done. What's best for him. Sucks but it's the truth and why the team has been mostly crap.

Sad, but unfortunately true.

MJ really could have made a difference if he actually cared.

Look at Tepper, made some serious missteps over the last 5 years, but he seems to be making an effort to turn things around.  Can't ask much more of a team owner than that.

Hopefully, MJ can find a new owner for the Hornets that will finally give a damn.

This fanbase is in for a rude awakening if we expect some rando suits to care more about winning basketball games than Michael Jordan.

Yep. The two being talked about want the team because of their egos or that they believe it'll increase in value and make them wealthier. Winning a championship, reaching the playoffs, or just winning more games probably don't factor in at all.

I don't think it is because he didn't care, I think is is because of his ego and thinking he knows more than anyone because of his GOAT player status. 

He surrounds himself with "yes" men who are all scared to disagree with him and he constantly meddles where he has proven time and time again he is clueless in. 

Id bet that most of the outright terrible draft picks are all him.

MJ has been a disaster of an owner and he's going to sell to whoever offers the most $$$. If he didn't care about the Hornets' product on the court as the owner he's sure as hell not gonna start caring during the sell process.

Tremendous player. The GOAT. Atrocious owner.

I feel the same way, its been painful watching this play out. MJ all-world player and just the opposite as owner/GM. 20 fuging years too long to prove you dont have it. Please sell and allow a rebirth of the Charlotte hornets, first day fire alllllllllll his buddies and yes-men he that he gave important jobs too. 

I want to become a hornet fan again.

MJ has been a pretty bad owner from a win standpoint  Arena is cool but its going to be empty if we cant get some players and wins. 

 

Sad, but probably true. Fans will only pull for a losing team that never seems to improve just  so long before they lose heart and find interests elsewhere.

Cause he wants to have minority stake and he's buddies with both. I assume that's why at least. Lol

From very little research, they don’t seem to be as wealthy as a lot of professional sports teams owners. He could potentially lose 10s or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Doesn’t seem to jive with the picture of him that has been painted.

The group includes Daniel Sundheim who was part of the group who bought stake last time.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
