Incredible, MJ would never do something like that. I really like Rick Schnall, I get good vibes from him.

That is encouraging.

I honestly got the sense from MJ towards the end that he felt contempt for the fanbase and was actively trying to spite them at times.

Re: Owners being involved at the deadline

On one hand, it was nice to see a fresh approach. On the other hand, owners being involved is usually not a good thing. I hope they cede decision making to the eventual new GM.

Specifically this deadline I'm more fine with it only because Mitch is on his way out. But if they hire their guy to replace him, they need to just let him do his job. New owners usually fall into the trap of thinking they're the smartest guys in the room because they've made billions, and leads to bad decisions. Looking at you Tepper.

Big deal. Specifically loving this:

HSE is committed to fully funding the practice facility costs above the $30 million provided by the city, and we have teamed with longtime Hornets partner Novant Health to offer a destination for leading-edge sports medicine and orthopedic care as part of the mixed-use practice facility development.

Move over torture rack, make way iron maiden.

Good news.

I think the new owners are going to be willing to spend money where Jordan wasn't and it's going to make a difference. Now, we just need to get his pals out of the org and replaced with competent basketball people. And of course a new head coach and assistant staff.
