Please be patient and read my entire post before passing judgement as to my sanity. LOL.
It seems to me that mj could careally less about a winner. Letting Walker go sort of proves it. The past few lottery picks have been disappointing. He does however like to make money and fill the arena. Usually to do that the team needs to be a winner but not in the Hornets case. I have said before that Charlotte is full of tar heel fans. It's tar heel country to the max. However ridiculus the following may sound think about it. This roster may take a couple of years to complete but it can be done through trades and giving up #1 draft choices. All NBA teams have a 15 man roster. This team would fill the seats for years to come providing as players retired that the Hornets aquire the necessary players to replace them. The following team is just a start. There are other players available if for some reason one of thelse following players do not want to get in on the deal. 1. p.j. hairston. 2.tyler hansbrough. 3. ty zeller. 4. harrIson barnes. (he could be promoted by the Hornets as an all star). 5. marvin wiliams. 6.danny green. 7. big luke maye. ( home town boy.Seat filler.) 8. nasir little. (could have already had him but will have to give up to get him now). 9.
jon henson. 10. ed davis. 11. justin jackson. 12. kendall marshall. 13. ray felton. 14. wayne ellington. 15. reggie bullock. Now others could fill this roster such as marcus paige , joel berry ect. Now about pt. These guys wouldn't care . They are used to it . It is shared. It's the carolina way. What about injuries. Use the Hornets G-league team the Greensboro Swarm. Greensboro is also full of tar heel fans and if their roster is filled with tar heels it will sell out every game for them also.What about the draft. Keep in mind they probably had to give up their choices to get guys like barnes and green. Sooner or later players will retire and they can be replaced by future heels. Remember they still have that Greensboro feeder system going. Coaches? Out there and available are larry brown, george karl and doug moe. And let us not forget jerry stackhouse who has landed a pretty good job but no doubt would jump at the chance. Gradually the shade of the team colors could change from teal blue and purple to wussy blue and white. Change the team name to the carolina paradise and it's set. It would work. They would lead the NBA in attendance. The payroll would be the lowest in the NBA.
