A salary dump situtation with returning no young talent or potential high draft pick makes no sense.  If the Knicks did make a move and gave us FN then at least we can pair him the Monk and Bacon and there is some hope in like 3 years.   Do agree we need a philosopy change and some vision on what can win in this league.  I still think good basketball with high percentage shooting and great defense can win but the Golden State bullshet is just extra tough to compete with.  The Hornets arent that far away but we need an amazing return in the draft and an elite scorer.  I think D12 kills team chemistry even though the numbers are there for him.  I think I would keep this together and hire a coach, GM and draft scouts that know the game and will have a voice on draft night.

So maybe, only a chance...offer Kemba and our first pick on draft night for a top pick and get Trae Young. Is he perfect no, far from it but pairing him with Monk sounds good as our 2 guards.  Pick up rim protectors and rebounding and just go with that.  Young is leading the nation in scoring and assists.  Just give up whatever you have to to get him (except Monk or Bacon).

Yes we would lose for a few years but like the scoring guards teamed with MKG and our bigs can score (somewhat).  Our defense would probably suck but we can't get worse atp.

For the record, I would trade Kemba right now to the Knicks for Frank Ntilikina and a contract. I really think he'll be a star in the next few years and he can be an elite defensive guard as well with elite size.  He can be great.

I've been trying to tell y'all for the longest that our only hope as a basketball team, was if we could get Steph Curry.  Now that he has a long term deal with the Warriors, all our hope is gone.  Jordan can't get big names to come here to save his life.  You think Lebron is going to come here in free agency?  You think Paul George or Russell Westbrook would come here?  If they ever came here, it will be well into their old age and past their prime.  I'm actually surprised Dwight signed here, but he is pretty much past his prime.  The Hornets will suck for a long time unfortunately.

Trae Young is a close to Curry potential..yeah, just close.

90% of the NBA is in this shet bucket

Only chance is to get lucky in the draft several years in a row.  Like the warriors and the thunder before them.  

Yeah, but this franchise has been in that situation for literally EVER.  Why not just play Monk, Bacon and Kemba right now?  We aren't a playoff team anyway..just play the young boys.  Sigh.  

The amazingly short sighted coaching and vision is keeping us from winning right now.   Literally right now we have depth and talent and can't win against mediocre teams.  Why?

Need a man at coach.  Someone that can tell Dwight Howard...you will play hard on defense and within the scheme or you are obsolete in the NBA.  He can, but won't.

Dwight hasn't been the problem.. Actually he has out play my expectations.. That French fug making 24 mil is the major issue..

No he's fuging French so soft runs thru his blood. .  He will be a role player like the rest of these French players.. No dog in any of their games..

That was never an option, considering that GS could pay him $50 million more than we could. We had just as much a chance of signing Lebron.

We could have made moves if Curry wanted to come here.  I mention Curry with this being his hometown team as a means for why he would want to come to Charlotte at all.  We have no chance at getting any superstar with no ties here.

the NBA should set up the draft like the NFL . This ping pong deal is based on luck and i suspect that it can be rigged.  if you finish last , you have the first pick or trade it .   Once this is set up , its up to the coach , gm , and the players .
