Anything aside from nepotism here? Does she have a degree in business or sports management at least?

Sounds like the Jeanne Buss route where her dad let her run a pro tennis team and a pro roller hockey team that he owned. Wont hate on parents opening doors for their kids long as its clear they didn’t earn their way there.

I'd like to take the opportunity and say that Ellen Rocche has been hired as my personal assistant.

Here's a picture of her at our private press conference:

I would honestly rather have Vivek just hand her 100% control now. Vivek doesnt understand the game at all she likely doesn't have the ego/narcissism that he does.

There's a difference between supporting your family and blindly supporting your family.

Well first of all she is hot as hell lol.

I don't know her qualifications but I've never heard anyone talk about someone being hired as assistant GM of the gleague to be honest. Can anyone name a GM of a gleague team, much less assistant? Reason to be concerned for nepotism but like...what are the qualifications you need to be assistant gm of a gleague gm? Probably less than what it takes to be a video coordinator in the NBA honestly.

Assistant GM of a G-League team is very much an entry-level job. It's in-demand just because it gets you a foot in the door for future NBA FO jobs if you work your way up, which is why it's generally taken by either overqualified people willing to work for way less then then could elsewhere or else people with clear insider connections.

For this, a good owner would give their kid the job to see how they do with it. If they take it seriously and put in the grunt and grind work to do the job well they can get gradually promoted to meaningful positions. If they only treat it as a side gig that they only pay attention to when it isn't interfering with parties, travel and maintaining their IG account then you know to avoid giving them any job that matters.

I'm not sure hoping a child who grew up in the life of luxury is somehow without ego/narcissism is a great bet.

It's no slam dunk but we KNOW Vivek is a disaster.

The entire Charlotte Hornets front office is filled with relatives of Michael Jordan, his friends and his friend's relatives. Kings and Hornets, two of a kind.
