There is no reason why they can't add a new forum. I manage a forum and it takes all of two clicks for the admin to add a section called "General NBA Discussion". 

 

I understand not having it when the Bobcats played and nobody cared but now that the Hornets are hot again, they deserve a forum dedicated 100% to them and another for other teams.

So, I just updated this thread with a poll so we can get a definitive idea on what the people want.

 

My personal opinion kind of parallels what I've seen a lot of here in that there isn't enough traffic to merit it.  BUT, I can tell you that the traffic is a hundred times heavier than it was a few years back, and I suspect it will pick up the further we get into the season.  So, it could become kind of annoying to keep having random team threads pop up, but I don't anticipate that they would cause that big of a ripple in our Hornets universe...  So, long story short, I'm fine with how it is.

 

I also added the option of a pinned General NBA discussion thread as cbarrier suggested, although I think that could be helpful, I'm not sure how much because we already have at least three separate threads dedicated to other teams and those people want their team discussed, lol. 

 

So again, in the spirit of today, I put it to a vote.  If we need a new forum, I'll put it through to Zod, errr, Jeremy.  Otherwise, we can handle it here within the Hornets forum.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
