had a chance at WHAT lmao :russ: a play in game? they did that

lamelo couldn't even walk half the year and the valuation of the club still went up


It wasn't as bad when Lamelo was a rookie, the following year he got hurt and this year he got hurt again. Actually it was 3 years in a row he got hurt. He might be like Lonzo if he doesn't get stronger. His buzz was thru the roof. But he's injury prone and probably won't live up to the hype if he doesn't stay healthy. The last thing he needs is to get hurt in the 23-24 season.

The 1 black owner in the nba and he’s choosing to sell :snoop:

It's his right to sell if he no longer wants to deal with the responsibility of handling a team but he should do what Bob Johnson did and make sure it's sold to a black buyer. The NBA should help make sure that happens.

Not exactly what the Coli wants to hear.

and Lasry just sold his stake to Haslam. You don't think he realizes he might get more for his stake in a couple of years? Maybe the ones selling don't have the interest in waiting til then.
I don’t know Lasry’s situation. Maybe he had a personal fall out with co-owner Wes Edens to the point where they can’t work together anymore. All I know is that the owners who sold in the last few years would’ve had a more valuable asset if they held.

Bob Johnson gave him a sweetheart deal because he was bleeding money. He wanted more but couldn't get anyone that soon to buy in.

Damn I hope he changes his mind

Hornets should be part of the Jordan family for generations and Charlotte is only growing as a city

I was rooting for this LaMelo era fukked with the whole rebrand :sadcam:

Lasry tripled his investment and didn’t want to continue spending money into the luxury tax.

Sell the squad and the new owners need to SERIOUSLY consider moving the team to Raleigh...

They will have waaayyyy more of a natural basketball base in The R, logistics won't be crazy expensive as if you were moving outta state, etc. Just rebrand em as the "Carolina Hornets"...

Anybody buying this dumpster fire should seriously look at relocating to the hotbed of basketball in NC...

shyt pisses me off. MJ is the GOAT (arguably in ALL of sports) and he’s barely a billionaire. Meanwhile, the owner of the Suns was a walk on at Michigan St in the late 90s-early 2000s, got put on by his daddy, and now he’s a billionaire and probably has a higher net worth than the GOAT.
He's white. That shouldn't surprise you

@murksiderock could easily go to Charlotte and watch em if they were worth the entertainment. I can give you a dozen events in Charlotte right now off the top of my head that I'd rather do than a Hornets game, and most Charlotteans would agree...

Move to a smaller city because this smaller city is an actual basketball city, Charlotte isn't. They'd have more support here and I'm almost positive they'd make more money. The population base isn't that much smaller and the Hornets in Raleigh are also pulling I'm traffic from neighboring regions like The Triad, Virginia, Fayetteville, the NC coast...

This was a funny post though 😆 and yes if they here I'd go see them because there isn't a dozen events I'd rather do here 😆 😂 🤣

It doesn’t surprise me. It just reminds me of what Chris Rock said about his neighborhood in NJ on one of his specials. There’s him (one of the best comedians), there’s Jay-Z (one of the greatest rappers), there’s Mary J Blige (one of the most successful R&B singers), and Eddie Murphy (one of the greatest comedians). Said they’re the only 4 black households in that neighborhood. His neighbor is a dentist. Not the GOAT dentist, just a white dentist.
