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.

      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.
