Dude im 20 I can't even remember the hornets there lol. How long have they been in NOLA on a side note? 10 years? something like that?
8 or 9 years maybe? I was in North Carolina up until I moved to La. my 10th grade year of High School. So I was a Hornets fan. God Awful management. Their strategy was get a good player and when he started peaking trade him for someone that wasn't as good. They drafted Kobe Bryant with the 8th pick one year when he said he wouldn't play for them...... so they traded him for Vlade Divac....who then considered retirement. lol.

not quite. where the Hornets fricked up big time initially was giving LJ a 12 yr/ 84 mil contract extension (you read that right, 12 yrs) when he wasn't even about to become a FA. so then the time comes to pay Zo a couple yrs later and they couldn't afford both. that set a lotta stuff in motion that got fans pissed at em. I was still young in understanding the front ofc side of the NBA, but I knew that LJ deal was dumb even back then.
though I will say that the moves they made post LJ and Zo were generally good and kept the team in the playoffs. Kobe wasn't gonna play for em, so getting a good C in Divac for the 13th pick wasn't a bad move. somebody mentioned the Rice trade, but that wasn't just Eddie Jones (who was a young All Star at the time), it also got a Elden, who was still around a 15/10 guy.
