G/L, the NBA needs more quality owners. All you have to look to is Los Angeles and consider Dr. Jerry Buss vs Donald Sterling. Same town, same venue, polar opposite result for decades.

One is willing to spend the other not soo much.

I don't see how this can possibly be a bad thing. Mr. Johnson is a very successful businessman and as far as I see it, he will be nothing but a great resource for MJ.

MJ said he loves the idea of Bob sticking around to give him advice, like you said as well, Bob is a great business man.

It's a good thing to still have him around. It's best for the organization to have them both working together to build this team into a winning franchise.

I am glad MJ is open to a name change. I don't necessarily have an alternative to the 'Cats, nor am I completely for changing it, I just like that he is open to being hands on with the fans.

I really hope he isn't as absent as Bob Johnson. I will always be grateful for bringing in the team but we needed someone else.

Just someone that would get the community involved, immerse himself in the city and listen to the fans. Granted, Bob gave creative control to MJ when he became part owner, so Bob was just a figurehead, but George Shinn left such a bad taste in everyones mouth.

I don't think anyone loathes Bob Johnson as much as they did Shinn, but I think a lot of old Hornets fans became apathetic to the 'Cats and Bob should have done more to show how important the team was to the community (like Jerry Richardson has done with the Panthers).

I was saying we needed some else as in MJ instead of Johnson. I am glad Johnson is part of MJs ownership group because he still deserves to be part of this team - and I hope MJ has a big presence in Charlotte.

They still don't have any white guys on the team

Racists

They've had white guards, forwards, and centers on this team. They even spent a 2006 lottery pick on one of the most celebrated white players in college basketball to help "market the team". Bob Johnson has also managed to hire a head coach outside of his race as well. One day JR & the Panthers will be able to say the same. ;)

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
