How long until we have the Charlotte Hornets again?

We can easily become the Hornets again. Actually, if they can become the Pelicans then it's much easier for us to be the Hornets since the NBA already owns all the rights and trademarks of the name. There is no reason we can't be the Hornets next season, as long as the name is given up and MJ pays the $3 mill or so for the rights.

Adam Silver pointed out last season that we would be able to change much quicker than the usual timeframe b/c the NBA already has the rights, designs, etc. as the Hornets is an NBA property. So, I fully expect that we'd be able start the season next year as the Hornets.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      Thank you for the good faith back and forth. ❤️ Are there some things that users here have rallied against that they proved to be right on? Absolutely. Has the Tepper era been successful? Far from it, but let's be honest: anybody expecting there to not be growing pains just isn't living in reality. An individual with no background in professional sports takes over the team, spends the first year working on the business side of the house, and then pivots to football ops where he makes two back-to-back awful coaching hires. Like... this isn't exactly breaking news to anybody with basic critical thinking skills. If we look at the hiring decisions though, we don't see the same mistakes being made. We see them being learned from. Tepper went the Jimmy Johnson/Pete Carroll route and went for somebody that had successfully built college programs and thought they'd be able to do it in the NFL. Rhule and his crew though just couldn't get away with their usual plan of recruiting the best athletes to compete in year 3, especially when the league is full of those top guys already (it also didn't help that they basically acted like a glorified frat house according to reports). The Reich hire was a sprint in the opposite direction. We went from little-to-no NFL experience to SO MUCH NFL EXPERIENCE... but there was also a distinct lack of unity that even the Rhule staff had. Too many cooks started arguing over the recipe and the ingredients, factions formed, and the poo all rolled downhill. Tepper doesn't wait until the middle of year three though to pull the plug, he ripped it out midseason. This is continued evidence of learning on Tepper's behalf. Now the latest staff... Tepper stepped back and outsourced the hiring (as many fans demanded). Canales was brought in and so far I believe it's fair to say that we've got more hope than we ever had since the takeover. They went with a young offensive mind with prior success in turning two QBs' careers around, let him build his staff with his folks, and allowed them the freedom to make the decisions they needed to make (ie: benching Bryce). For an owner that was excoriated for being too meddlesome, that's a huge shift. Does understanding the nuance in situations between these different hires mean that I don't think the Teppers have done anything wrong or that I agree with every decision they made? I can't see how anyone can jump to that conclusion unless they're a dipshit that still blames drafting Bryce on Nicole hugging him... I just prefer to try and understand the thought process instead of being focused on why I "knew" otherwise. It makes it that much easier to be prepared for what comes next when we're not making predictions on how we're going to be miserable. All of that said... as much trust and faith I have in myself, I still wouldn't recommend putting me in that room over Dan Morgan and Brandt Tilis. That'd be insane... but the scary part about that is that it immediately makes me more qualified than most other Huddlers. 🤯 I'd be okay with ForJimmy, Mr. Scot, and Bear Hands... but those other spots are gonna be tough to fill.

      This is more of the same that I have heard from people I trust, back dur8ng hid playing days.   So much was swept under the rug.  I'm sure Mr Richardson assisted in a lot of that back then.

      Joe Person: Projecting moves based on vibes

      Fitts fingerprints are still on this roster   31 million is a lot but we aint winning poo this year.  Ride it out because even if you restructure he is still getting that money one way or another.  He is on the wrong side of 30 with a potential knee issue.  Bite the bullet.  The average age of an NFL lineman is 27, why in the hell would you bet against those odds.  Play it out and address it in the next off season
