Looks like they may push a rebrand though this offseason

I also heard a rumor that Bob Johnson called and advised Tom Benson that he should consider rebranding the Hornets into the......... TOMCATS

I wonder if they are taking into account Shinn's feelings during the rebrand.

It's Benson's team let him do what he wants....same with MJ (until he sells it)

FYI Shinn has went on record saying moving the team from Charlotte was a mistake.

He also is a born again christian now since his prostate cancer.

Shinn could of ran for mayor when he brought the team to Charlotte and probably won. It ended very poorly with him here and he should serve as an example for major business people bringing their services here of how quickly things can change. He was a helluva lot worse than Bob Johnson, but Johnson started out on the wrong foot here and was never able to recover. At least Bob was smart enough to jump ship from the titanic.

We all make mistakes and no one is perfect. Glad to hear Shinn is doing okay and if he really wanted to mend some fences here he should help with the Hornets rebrand. At least be an advocate of it.

I get what your saying, but I seriously doubt Shinn advocating for a name change could do anything but hurt the chances of it happening.

      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.
