Well those debates are long gone.

Ant is also the third highest paid guy on his team. He plays for an organization that went out and spent money and mortgaged the future to try and win now.
We have an organization that is trying to tank. Lowest payroll in the league most years. One of the lowest paid coaches every year. Retreading a coach that we already realized isn't a difference maker.
In the last 20 years we haven't sniffed being a contender. OKC got a franchise, became a contender and then tore it all down and became a contender again in that same time span. We trash bro. We a clown show organization. LeMelo isn't the problem. The Hornets organization is the problem. If you can't be good within a 20 year time span, you trash.

I didn't like the Gobert trade when they made it. I didn't like the Mitchel trade the Cavs made either, but I wish we were in the second round instead of those guys.
Knicks hired a win now coach (Tibs), and the Pacers hired a win now coach. All those teams took a shot and spent money on something. Bulls took a shot and it didn't work out.
We have never invested in winning by signing a coach to a big deal. That helps in the NBA because it empowers the coach.
We have a history of mostly firing the coach after 1 or 2 years. Most of the guys who get fired from being the coach of the Hornets don't go on to bigger and better things. It shouldn't be a surprise that nobody wants the job that bad.
