Expecting big seasons for Redick, Ingram, and Williamson. Hopefully Jackson and Okafor can be solid contributors off the bench. As of right now, I would say Ingram, Williamson, and Favors are locks to start. The point guard and shooting guard spots are up for grabs imo between Holiday, Redick, and Ball. Right now I would give the edge to Holiday and Redick though.

Holiday will start at PG and JJ will start at 2G....almost a guarantee
Don’t forget about Lonzo ball. Pelicans also have trade chips in place at the pg spot and the main ones are Holiday and Ball ( is trade the later of the two).

Can't see them keeping lonzo and reading holiday but I guess you never know....lavar will spout off either way lol


Lavar is going to be a problem no matter where Lonzo ends up. I saw Charlotte's roster and as is I'm not sure they will win 10 games. Lonzo may get to show off there. OFC

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. :D OFC


You guys think I'm joking about this roster. To mj the Hornets are a business. As long as the seats are filled it will not matter about wins. This roster will fill seats. No other NBA franchise could do that because they would not have the fan base. Within 4 years a new arena would have to be built to hold 30,000 tar heel fans. They would pay whatever mj ask for tickets. You think concessions are out of sight now they would go through the ceiling which is actually the roof and a smart man would be a vender there. I know this will never happen but who knows. tar heel fans are family and if it's done the carolina way it will be the most succesful franchise financial wise anywhere. ;) OFC

I have a vendor I buy from and they get Hornets season tickets and give them to customers, I've already emailed him to put my name on the pelicans tickets when they come out. I hope I get them, they are right behind the goal.
