From listening to that Terrence Oglesby interview and other things we pieced together, I do get the feeling that there was some frustration with the organization that melo wasn't playing, and it was his decision, not that the team was holding him out. But that's really just me reading between the lines on some things that's been said.

Yeah, in recent years it has felt like the Hornets were 15 years behind the rest of the league in terms of the basic infrastructure of a modern NBA franchise.

I've lost track--do we have a running tally of the coaches on the staff? the Hornets website (like a lot of aspects of the organization) is a mess and hasn't been updated at all.

I'm going to hold off on getting excited until I see two consecutive summer league wins.

From Jent's wikipedia
He served as LeBron James' personal shooting coach while James was on the team.


LeBron to Charlotte confirmed.
