Michael Jordan hasn't given an interview where he's discussed the Hornets in any detail (besides Kemba Walker) since 2014. He was fired in the middle of a week in March with no explanation and no explanation has come out since. The Hornets hired a new radio play-by-play guy before the start of the 2018-19 season that grew up a Hornets fan and was a beloved radio host in Charlotte. He'll almost certainly use that player option in 2020 and will be making $27.1 million.
Nic Batum (who has turned into a completely worthless player) will be entering the 4th year of a 5 year deal (final year a player option) that will pay him $25.5 million. Bismack Biyombo will be making $17 million off the bench, Marvin Williams will be making $15 million off the bench, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will be making $13 million off the bench. They'll be hard-capped this season with a starting 5 of Terry Rozier, Cody Zeller, Nic Batum, Dwayne Bacon, and Miles Bridges. The Hornets would go on to lose Game 7 in Miami by 27 points.ĭespite letting their best player ever walk for nothing, they're hard-capped at the moment.
#2015 CHARLOTTE HORNETS ROSTER SERIES#
A Hornets fan known as Purple Shirt Guy started inexplicably jawing with Dwyane Wade who proceeded to drop a quick 5 points to tie the series up. the Heat and had cut a 9 point Heat lead to 2 with 1:30 left. The closest they've come to winning a series since then was the Purple Shirt Guy game when they were up 3-2 vs. They haven't won a playoff series since April 2002 when LeBron was in high school, Zion was 1 year old, The Scorpion King was #1 at the box office, Ashanti had the #1 song in America, and Hollywood Hogan was WWE Champion. The second best draft pick they've had since their 2004 rebirth has been Emeka Okafor.
They also had Klay Thompson on the board. They selected Biyombo instead of the player that had been mocked to them in several mock drafts: Kawhi Leonard. They did select Kemba Walker in 2011, but they also gave Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, and the pick that would turn into Tobias Harris so they could jump up and draft Bismack Biyombo. In the same draft, they selected Jeffery Taylor with their 2nd round pick, just ahead of Draymond Green and Khris Middleton. They then selected Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with the #2 pick instead of Bradley Beal. Kaminsky was always in the coach's doghouse here, his family hated Charlotte, and Kaminsky signed with Phoenix this offseason.Īfter having the worst record in NBA history in 2012, the Bobcats lost out on the #1 pick which was going to be Anthony Davis. Michael Jordan turned the offer down to pick Frank Kaminsky. The Hornets were offered three first-round picks by the Celtics for the #9 pick in 2015. The Hornets were seriously looking to draft Pascal Siakam in 2016, but decided to trade their pick for Marco Belinelli who spent one year with the team before being traded to Atlanta in the Dwight Howard trade.
Then-coach Steve Clifford wanted the Hornets to draft Donovan Mitchell in 2017, but Rich Cho overruled him and drafted Malik Monk instead. And they've had the most chances to draft All-Stars too: the Hornets rank #1 with the lowest average draft spot in that time. They've only drafted 4 All-Stars that went on to play for them despite being around since 1988: Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Baron Davis, and Kemba Walker. They're the second oldest of those 6 teams behind the Clippers. One of only 6 teams in the NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL that's never even made a conference finals.
