Jeez so pessimistic and dramatic. Hornets are an awful franchise who haven't made the playoffs in almost a decade. They also just signed Lamelo Ball to a max deal and he barely plays more than half a season if that.
Blazers future is really BRIGHT. Young players to develop, solid assets that can be traded, and draft draft picks every year going forward.
Hornets of the West is funny though - can't say any team out West is in the same position. Almost all Western Conference teams have been in the playoff mix the best decade. Spurs maybe, but they're going to crawl out soon and didn't dig themselves a grave like the Hornets.
I'm not stressing. Brogdon (31), Grant (30), Thybulle (27), Reath (27), and Timelord (26) are the only players on the roster over 25.
I worded what I said poorly. The Blazers are typically an unlucky franchise. My intent was if there ever was a draft to slide back, this is probably the best one to have it happen.
Oh I see what you mean now! Makes sense. I misinterpreted it.
