I don't know you could end up being right but I'm beginning to wonder if this franchise is just snakebit or cursed. Much moreso than the Panthers. At least the Panthers have had success and been to two Super Bowl's. Other than the brief highs in the early years and the 90's this franchise has been dead in the water for so long it's wild. Going on 24 years without a playoff series win. And what's crazy is there are other small market teams that have done remarkably more in short timespans compared to us and with debatable differences in talent levels.

Idk if there's anything or anyone that can alter course for this franchise at this point. Just the honest truth.

I dunno. The Lions and Browns turned it around. Heck even the Kings are playing better than the Hornets. Jordan was cheap when it came to coaches and let his family and friends help run the team. If some of the rumors are true, he also had a very large say when it came to the draft after deciding he liked guys that had good runs in the NCAA tourney. That's supposedly how Zeller and Frank the Tank ended up Hornets.

Oh yeah Jordan had his hand in everything it was terrible no doubt. He was comically bad as an executive in any capacity.

Unfortunately so far these new owners look like they could somehow be a downgrade to MJ and that's saying something. Not only is the product on the court a steaming poo pile but then they can't even avoid baffling PR disasters over a few hundred dollars.

The new guys are hedge fund owners/investors, so yeah, I expect things to get worse. All they really care about is turning a profit.

So ... 1 win in the last 17 games. Everyone pretty much checked out for the rest of the season?

You know Ball is checked out, dude can't even stay on the court. What a waste of money, seems once this team pays someone, they stop caring.

So, when is LaMelo Ball going to play again?  These contracts should allow for the team to recover some money if they never play. He is the new Gordon Hayward, SMh.

Good luck with that, the NBA will screw us out of a pick if we tank and/or we will screw it up anyway.

This team is downright pitiful. Such selfish ass players who just want to chunk 3's and not play with a bruise. 

[33inNC]

Oh look, Ball is back and still selfish as hell. 

When will these prima-Donna's learn how to play team ball???

I would totally agree if the NBA wasn’t a fuggin farce and the draft wasn’t rigged.  They will not let us get #1.  Not happening
