How to Fix The Hornets: Discussion Thread

It is no secret that the Hornets are one of the worst franchises in NBA history. However, since 2020, I have really expected us to be in a better place than we are now. It has been almost five years since we drafted LaMelo Ball, and we are getting WORSE by the year. We have had horrible injury luck and I think that is a big part of our failures.

I expected us to be at least an 8-10 seed this season, but that is clearly not happening. I love this upcoming draft class and I think that we could land a star. The question is, what do we do? Say we get a good pick, what next? I do not see LaMelo sitting in a losing situation for too much longer, and we have done NOTHING to give anybody hope that we are on a better trajectory. The most meaningful move we have made since 2020 was trading for Tre Mann.

How do we fix this team so that we are not stuck in this rut for the entire decade? What star would want to come play here? Who do we get rid of?

I am scared that we will roll with this group for too long and it will not do us any good. Melo, Miller, and Mark are the only untouchables for me.
