I don't know you could end up being right but I'm beginning to wonder if this franchise is just snakebit or cursed. Much moreso than the Panthers. At least the Panthers have had success and been to two Super Bowl's. Other than the brief highs in the early years and the 90's this franchise has been dead in the water for so long it's wild. Going on 24 years without a playoff series win. And what's crazy is there are other small market teams that have done remarkably more in short timespans compared to us and with debatable differences in talent levels.

Idk if there's anything or anyone that can alter course for this franchise at this point. Just the honest truth.

I dunno. The Lions and Browns turned it around. Heck even the Kings are playing better than the Hornets. Jordan was cheap when it came to coaches and let his family and friends help run the team. If some of the rumors are true, he also had a very large say when it came to the draft after deciding he liked guys that had good runs in the NCAA tourney. That's supposedly how Zeller and Frank the Tank ended up Hornets.

Oh yeah Jordan had his hand in everything it was terrible no doubt. He was comically bad as an executive in any capacity.

Unfortunately so far these new owners look like they could somehow be a downgrade to MJ and that's saying something. Not only is the product on the court a steaming poo pile but then they can't even avoid baffling PR disasters over a few hundred dollars.

The new guys are hedge fund owners/investors, so yeah, I expect things to get worse. All they really care about is turning a profit.

So ... 1 win in the last 17 games. Everyone pretty much checked out for the rest of the season?

You know Ball is checked out, dude can't even stay on the court. What a waste of money, seems once this team pays someone, they stop caring.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
