The Charlotte Hornets need a change to be successful

Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets

Since joining the NBA in 1988, the Charlotte Hornets haven't had any notable success. They had great years in the 1990s when Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson were the pillars of the team. However, since they left, the organization has struggled to be competitive.

Right now, they're relying on their All-Star point guard, LaMelo Ball, to carry them to relevancy. That was the plan when they drafted him back in 2020, but due to his injuries, the team hasn't moved the needle.

The Hornets were on their way to becoming a relevant team again. However, they made decisions that were questionable. Charlotte fired James Borrego, a brilliant coach who has a ton of potential. Miles Bridges then ran into offseason legal issues after they extended him a qualifying offer.

For the Hornets to compete, they'll have to find stability and make smart moves. Maybe this is the reason why Jordan is planning on selling the team.
