That's what he did in Carolina with the Hurricanes too. Got rid of Forslund, went cheaper on coaching with Rod and his staff, went cheaper on GM and then even cheaper than that with Tulsky. 

Then when they started winning and coaching wanted more money, he played hardball with them multiple times. 

He'll pay for players but he absolutely won't pay for frills, won't pay for staff or anything of the like. An NBA team of player's will go through shock at what he's going to do. 

Been seeing rumors of trying to get giannis. Why would he ever want to go there? Players in the NBA have a different power than nhl guys

They won with Trae, though. What have they accomplished since?

They made the ECF with him back in 2020

Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded.

I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on.

I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong.

Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
