100%. The thing with Charlotte is that they could probably attract notable FAs if they ever resembled a serious organization. The type of weather that most people love, and numerous current players are from the State.


They need one breakthrough season and a good decently marketable player. A lot of times I even forget they exist until we have to face them on our schedule. They're not laughed at as a joke like the Knicks were through the 2000s, they're just not talked about at all. Even drafting someone like Barnes would have done wonders for them.


I would say that they're looked at as a joke. lol those playoff series wins under the Hornets name aren't even from the current franchise itself. The current one spawned from the Bobcats in 2004 has made the playoffs 3 times, won 3 playoff games total and hasn't won a playoff series in it's entire existence.

Im impressed that not a single players numbers have taken much of a dip. Will be interesting to see if we have 4 players averaging close to 20 that might be one of the most well balanced raptors lineups we've seen scoring wise.

Can they get going with the tip off? Toronto games are always LATE.
