Looks like all former assistants are gone.

Future NBA Champion Charles Lee

Will be great the players get to celebrate this with their HC. Bring that championship mentality back to Charlotte please!

I feel like the gravitas of a championship is the perfect element to add to the team. If they don’t buy in he can just point to the ring. I love it.

it would be exceedingly funny if this guy also backed out 48 hours after winning a championship and returned to the Celtics

Apparently Jent (former Lakers guy we hired) is a shooting guru.

Lee sent all season ticket holders a letter this morning. He is saying all the right things.
Believes in the vision of the owners/GM, likes the talented young core group. Most importantly - the whole organization is going to "work hard every day to get better. That nothing is given to you, you have to work to earn it and that is the mindset he will instill in Charlotte. It may not be easy but it will be worth it" Has faith in the staff, players, owners etc to build a premier franchise.

Sounds good anyway!

Softball stuff so far.

EDIT: First insight - Peterson and team have the keys to our draft. Lee seems minimally involved.

EDIT: Second insight never happened.

ESPN makes me think the Lakers are the only team that has a new HC.

Not a single word about the Hornets HC.

He is such a goober, will be curious to see how the process daily habit Tony Robbins stuff comes across when he truly hits the adversity that this position faces

A lot of positive energy and professionalism from both Lee and Peterson. And the press conference even started on time, which is shocking.

Peterson also got asked about the draft and free agency plans and he had a look of are you serious then basically said today is all about Charles, we'll get to that later.

Feels like Grant Williams is becoming the leader of this team.

Everybody wins the press conference. Win me some games and I will get on board.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
