Yeah I read this article today while taking a sh1t at my parents house.

If Jordan is wise, he will immediately nip this in the bud. Shinn is nothing more than a white collar criminal who screwed an entire city and fan base. Not to mention he single handedly drove one of the most marketable NBA teams into the red.

Now he's trying to weasel his way back into this?

No thanks. I want absolutely nothing to do with Shinn, and to be blunt about it if they are going to bring him back into this in ANY capacity, this Hornets 2.0 isn't for me.

Does your gif express that you are okay with Shinn coming back into the picture?

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

1) Not OK with him coming back into the picture, but that's not the point of the column anyway. All Shinn would do is be another voice to Stern saying, "Look, this is what they need to do. Work with Jordan on it." That's all. It's not like Jordan would hire him as a consultant or anything. I am, however, in favor of getting the name back.

2) 25. Attended Hornets games as a kid. Frequently attend Bobcats games now.

What about a Charlotte Hornet reunion? LJ, Zo, Mugs, Dell, Kendall Gill, Rex Chapman etc. Shinn took our identity away and he knew that. That guilt must be eating him up.

We forgive stupidity everyday so maybe all will be forgiven once the NBA gives us our team name and mascot back, but for now Shinn, stay out of the way.

I'm serious man, if they bring Shinn back in ANY capacity with the Hornets rebrand....I'm f*cking done man and might just drop the NBA altogether

It's not gonna happen, man. No need to worry about it. Shinn is high on the hog in TN now. He has no use or need for the NBA or Charlotte, nor do those entities need him. But at least he's another voice to Stern in the Charlotte Hornets bandwagon corner. That's all he needs to be, and it's all he will be.

He knows better than to fug with us again.

I hope.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
