Anything is possible. Look at the Milwaukee Bucks. All it takes is that one special player and you can win a championship.

The likelihood is low and it’ll have to be through hitting a home run in the draft (probably twice in the span of 2-3 years) but it is possible 

This is the best answer. Don't know if it'll happen in my lifetime though.

The franchise is cursed. Shinn made some voodoo deal before hauling ass out of Charlotte. Plus it is ran by a cheap owner unwilling to do what it takes to have a chance for prosperity. Ironic that MJ kept the 90s Hornets from breaking through and now he is also keeping the Hornets from breaking through.

We will never attract super stars. We need to get lucky and get the #1 pick with a superstar consensus #1 overall pick. But we know how the NBA loves to screw us in the lottery. But if we could and we show we have a dynamic young core, then maybe a star FA or 2 will come. I just don't see it ever happening. I doubt even Lamelo resigns with us with the lights of LA calling his name already

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
