With the new ownership, Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers in place with a young energetic core from last year, along with some favorable free agent acquisitions (and retaining the cornerstone) there is a lot to be excited about for the hornets future. Sometimes we let this excitement carry us away and lead us to unrealistic expectations.

That said, what would you consider to be a successful season and what would you consider a disappointment? Are you expecting an opening night win against the spurs? How about a playoff berth?

I think it'll be better for the longterm success of the Hornets if they can get another high draft pick to put next to Davis & Rivers

ya, i agree...it's a young team. I'm really hoping and thinking this team will compete for a playoff spot...that's about all we can hope for. the team is too young...we're gonna see a lot to be excited for in the future.

Ryan Anderson
Eric Gordon

....the only legitimate players that we KNOW we have.

Lopez, Vasquez, Davis, Rivers, hopefully can make this team a contender some day.

I think playoffs berth is a successful season. Anyone expecting more than that is setting themselves up for disappointment

If we're at least still in the playoff discussion near the end of the season then I'll consider it a very successful year. I'd be disappointed if we finish with a bottom 5 record again.

Championship or failure imo.



Seriously though, 7th seed would be baller, although 8th or just missing playoffs would be more realistic.

Disappointment would be Gordon missing half the season and semi tank year again.
