I literally cringed. What an awful organization. I agree completely with those who never want to see another UConn player go to Charlotte.
 
Interesting that this article also talks about Bouk coming off a good end of year to move into second rotation.

Everyone’s hate for the hornets is so weird. Kemba is the franchises best player of all time. Lamb just wasn’t very good anywhere, but had his best years in Charlotte. Bouknight is obviously his own worst enemy. Any NBA franchise has the resources for a player to succeed if he has ability.

Yep. If the Pistons, Knicks, Net's, Wizards, Magic or Hawks had drafted the same UConn players we'd hear the same crap about how they are a horrible franchise, etc.

Because it’s the Hornets. Poverty franchise that goes nowhere ever.

If the Celtics or Lakers drafted them, our fans would lament over how overrated they’ve been since the 1980s. Andre is going to be thrilled if any team takes him in the first round, as should everyone on this board. He can make lots of money regardless of where he’s drafted, if he develops correctly.

Right ? I mean, first of all, "Clutchpoints" is what ? Far as I cant tell, based on this content, a site I'd never consider reading in my life. And where was there a "fact" stated about Andre Jackson that could or could not be true ? That he is "Andre Iguodala" reborn ?
 
I know we want our guys to rise instead of drop, but I really want him to drop to 41st so Denver can grab him. Perfect spot for him especially with Brown gone this summer.

It would maybe make me get out to my 2nd ever nuggets game. First one was to see Kemba and the Hornets visit...got a smile yelling out to him while wearing his uconn jersey. That's my creepy fan moment, and I'm not ashamed

No-look passes between Andre and Joker would be crazy.. Maybe they like him enough to put a trade package together and move up

I love living in North Carolina! and we're not a crappy state.

Sports-wise we are mediocre but not a crappy state to live in.

Agreed man. I live in Charlotte & it’s a great place. It’ll be better once MJ sells the team this summer, no doubt about that tho. But NC has a couple really nice cities, incredible mountains, and tons of awesome beaches. It’s honestly a great place to live and visit.

Somehow people still believe in the franchise tanking players talent myth. It’s like talking to your buddy who says NFL teams shouldn’t draft the QB from X college because they never had anyone succeed in the NFL.

Well if your buddy had been advising against Ohio State qbs they'd be doing pretty well.

Interesting take... Dissing a whole state when you took me to task for dissing Cleveland here in the Yard a couple of months ago. I think I will quote you: "You are all blocked up..."

I have found over the years that NC is a beautiful and great place, especially when compared to LA, Miami, SF and Manhattan... So, perhaps you should take some of your own advice: go there and eat some peyote, take a hike in the woods or play some golf, see what it really has to offer, and perhaps clear your blockage...

But, that does not mean that the Hornets do not suck as an NBA franchise!

Yikes! You are really blocked! What happened to you in NC? It could not be worse than what happened to you in Scotland, could it? Btw, we are still waiting for you to finish that saga....

I have never met this dude but if you asked me to name his four least favorite places in America I would have gone 4 for 4.
