Certainly looks like they won’t resign him.  It sucks mostly because of the fact this team doesn’t appear to have a plan right now.  Seriously doubtful to me they can even pull of a rebuild in any coherent way.  Damn.

You just have to hope they accidentally back into a good player with a top 5 pick. If you get enough top 5 picks, the odds are that you will eventually get an elite talent.

We are really looking at a

Graham, Bacon, Batum, Marvin, Zeller (if can stay healthy) starting lineup

 

With Bridges as the 6th man

That's a surefire 15 or less win team.

Theyll get a top 3 pick

NBA can rig a lottery.  We've seen it with the New Orleans owned Pelicans over us, Lebron to his hometown, former Philly player tweeting out contracts on the top pick 76ers a few hours before the "drawing", etc etc

 

Hornets are already bad and not drawing anyone.  Charlotte is a Big market (suprisingly it is, not to LA, Chicago, or NY level but way up there)

They have a big face figure of their sport as the owner.

They were already 26th in the league in attendance.  Now losing its star player that will turn away 50% of the remaining fan base.   Are binded in contract he11 where they arent able to bring in big FA to help.

Hornets could be look like the tampa bay rays stadium with the leagues worst team.  No young guys with star potential.  That will not be a good look at all for the league.

Looks like we will be a one an done season ticket holder this year.  Anyway we could get out of the tickets an just take what we have paid already?

Just saw on first take Charlotte offered Kemba more than he would get in open market but not super max and he turned it down. 

0-82 seems like a reasonable prediction at this point.

[WOW!!]

I fuging hate Nic Batum and will boo his French punkass every time he's on the court.. His bitch ass poo just destroyed this franchise.. Why even have him here?? I'd rather him being in France stealing the money then taking minutes from younger players..

Yep... only thing that really makes sense once Kemba and lamb are gone is just start and play the young guys...might as well let them learn and develop while we lose

[SmokinwithWilly]

Is there any way we can file a competancy hearing for MJ based on his track record as owner. It seems like the only chance this franchise has at this point.

IDK that they will reward us because we are a mismanaged team. It isn't like the deck was stacked particularly against us, we just do incredibly stupid things in the draft and in free agency. 

Of course, if the NBA really wanted to make it a fair system they would get rid of the draft lottery. It's one of the dumbest things in all of professional sports. But, that being said, we are one of the few franchises that could probably screw up a top 3 pick with regularity.

I have no hatred of Batum.  He didn't sign himself to that goofy ass contract and he'd be a damn fool to turn it down. The Bobnets are to blame for that one.

I blame him for being a bitch and not atleast playing to the level he did before the contract.. 

Can't blame the team for him not being aggressive and playing like a bitch.. I blame them for the contract but even at 10 mil a year he isn't worth it.  Or playing up to it..

[WOW!!]

And I promise every game I attend.. Or as long as they let me stay.. I will be trashing Batum with every vocal cord I have.. If he has to be here stealing money he won't enjoy the home games..
