Who will have more wins this season the Panthers or the Hornets?

[jasonluckydog]

I believe the Panthers have a good shot at winning at least 9 games the Hornets maybe 5 or 6? 

 

Thoughts?

MJ can’t afford a season of no one in the arena. He wants to tank but financially he can’t do it. He will screw up the tank job (or the nba will change the rules fuging up the Hornets chance of getting a franchise player again) by signing a fringe player giving them some wins

If there is another franchise with less appeal I can’t think of one.

What do you expect MJ to do? They arent ever gonna be a title contender with the roster they have. They have horrible contracts with Batum and Williams which keeps them from being a major player in free agency. The worst position you can be in in the NBA is that 6-10 seed range where you arent competing for titles and you also arent bad enough to give yourself a good shot at lucking into a top draft pick. MJ doesnt wanna spend the luxury tax to roll out a .500 team and I dont blame him. Let Kemba walk, save the money, and tank until you can get those shitty contracts off the books

Unfortunately, you are correct.

I’m ready. Let it burn. Might actually have a good team in a couple years if they do it right. Look at Philly.

Sadly he is though

Half of this fan base is alur what he did to Kemba

The other half is pissed how inept he is not trading him for anything

A team of nobodys winning 25-30 games wont get anyone excited

The NBA has created an increased environment where it's practically impossible for non-major market teams to compete. The max contract stipulation sucks ass. If you're not a marquee destination you have no shot at marquee FAs due to a false ceiling in the market. But, that's exactly what they want - marquee players in marquee markets. I would actually watch the NBA if they'd implement a hard cap and get rid of the max contracts to create parity. Franchises wouldn't be able to create super teams with three superstars.

Hornets will win 13-15 games this year. But the kemba thing has completely sucked the life out of a team that didn't have much to begin with

Yep, only way to do it. You have to hit the lottery at the right time.

problem is I dont know a single guy whos going to be a sure fire stud going into the draft next year. This was the season to tank. Could have had a couple extra picks too if they traded kemba. Dumb dumb dumb, maybe one day curry or zion will step up and come home, but I doubt it.

Maybe Kobe will want to come out of retirement and lol..nvmd.

They’re going to be top of the draft bad for more than one season I’m afraid.
