Why does Michael Jordan continue to make questionable moves as GM?

[1987_Lakers]

Hayward - 4 years - 120 million
Batum - 5 years - 120 million

:confusedshrug:

[Axe]

Well he's a lame pos as a gm that he's hardly worth talking about.

[FireDavidKahn]

Because he is a low-iq human.

[Axe]

Reverting charlotte's name back to hornets a long time ago sucked tbh. The bobcats already sounded good, even if people say they were a laughingstock team.

[Bronbron23]

Hayward - 4 years - 120 million
Batum - 5 years - 120 million

:confusedshrug:

Because he's a bad gm

[3ball]

Jordan is a horrific judge of talent, as evidenced by his poor draft picks and nonsensical praise of pippen

[StrongLurk]

Everyone in the Hornets org is trash. I'm no longer a fan and probably never will be unless there are wholesale changes.

Jordan never understood the game of basketball the same was as high IQ players like LeBron. LeGM built 4 elite teams in his career so far.


Jordan needed some random baseball scout, Jerry Krause, to tell him what players were good or not.

Low basketball IQ. Picking players has a lot to do with understanding how the game works.

Lol . Those 2 don't even go hand in hand.

Your just saying that because it fits your agenda.

[Kiddlovesnets]

I thought Mitch Kupchak was the GM?

Hayward - 4 years - 120 million
Batum - 5 years - 120 million

:confusedshrug:

At this point in his life I think he knows more about golf than he does about basketball.

Not defending Jordan here really, he's a terrible owner. Not as bad as Dolan though.

But you Lebron guys have no clue why he overpaid do you?

[8Ball]

Jordan hired the guy that gave Mozgov and Luol Deng $60M+ 12 hours into free agency :facepalm

Michael Jordan called Gordon Hayward late last night in an effort to close the deal for Charlotte, Hayward tells ESPN today. Hayward obviously remembers how MJ and Hornets signed him to an offer sheet in restricted free agency in 2014.

— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA)

"It's not a surprise that Jordan was heavily involved in getting Hayward to Charlotte. Six years ago, Hayward and the Hornets agreed to a four-year offer sheet, but the Jazz came in and matched the offer to keep him in Utah.

Jordan is like an animal. He just reacts without looking at the big picture. When you ask him to make a plan he stumbles and can't function.

[Baller789]

So you know him personally?

[FireDavidKahn]

So you know him personally?

Yes.

And I watched his games from the past.

The proof is in the pudding. He is an amazing PLAYER but horrible owner/GM (being able to make a plan)

[Baller789]

Yes.

And I watched his games from the past.

Sure buddy,
and I'm Donald Trump.

[FireDavidKahn]

So you are arguing he IS a good owner/GM?

Good God:roll:

Reading comprehension fail.

[8Ball]

Do you know why he overpaid?

Low basketball IQ.

Explain why he overpaid bad players. Did he have a gun to his head?

[Baller789]

No you simpleton.

He overpaid because a small market team can't attract top tier talent thru free agency.

Not that was a brilliant.move. But thats the reality.

[8Ball]

Top tier talent does not want to join low basketball IQ ownership and front office.

[MaxPlayer]

Yes, he resembled the thoroughbred racehorse: stupid and simpleminded, but when whipped judiciously by a sage whisperer like a Phil Jackson, capable of running quickly where it's supposed to.

[Baller789]

Top tier talent does not want to join low basketball IQ ownership and front office.

So how many league assist titles does Lebron have?

[FireDavidKahn]

Yes, he resembled the thoroughbred racehorse: stupid and simpleminded, but when whipped judiciously by a sage whisperer like a Phil Jackson, capable of running quickly where it's supposed to.

Great way to put it.

Now would you trust a racehorse to run your organization?

[8Ball]

So how many league assist titles does Lebron have?

WTf does that have to do with Jordan have low basketball IQ as an owner?

Why deflect all the time? :oldlol:

[Hey Yo]

No you simpleton.

:oldlol:

Straight_ Altin melting down on his 4th account

[8Ball]

He's trying to defend Jordan being a lousy owner and signing garbage players.

James Dolan might be a higher IQ owner.

[1987_Lakers]

No you simpleton.

He overpaid because a small market team can't attract top tier talent thru free agency.

Not that was a brilliant.move. But thats the reality.

What about trading Gilgeous-Alexander for peanuts?

[Horatio33]

He hires his friends as yes men. Not people who know how to run as basketball team but people who kiss his ring.

[LinoD12]

i thought they needed experienced players but not ones that cost 20% of the price of your francise!?

240M to Batum and Hayward!?

I am sure he is sick of this bitch ass kids he drafts that dont do jack but then launches money at broken aged guys who don't really care about the team.

[Axe]

He should give doug collins an attractive position in the hornets for another reunion. Just like the old times.

[Axe]

Yes.

And I watched his games from the past.

The proof is in the pudding. He is an amazing PLAYER but horrible owner/GM (being able to make a plan)
The irony here is totally astounding.

[TheCorporation]

Low IQ

Needed Jerry Krause

[Baller789]

The irony here is totally astounding.

Why is that astounding?
Lots of atg players make for lousy coaches/ executives.

[Baller789]

James Dolan might be a higher IQ owner.

How did I defend Jordan? Hes a terrible owner. Your probably too young and ignorant to understand how money works.

[And1AllDay]

Low IQ

Needed Jerry Krause

No krause, only loss

[8Ball]

How did I defend Jordan? Hes a terrible owner. Your probably too young and ignorant to understand how money works.

You defend him because you keep trying to explain away why Jordan has to pay 120M for dog shit players like Hayward and Batum. And then Jordan waives and stretches Batum's final year of 32M which means there will be a 9M salary hold on the roster for a few years to come. Hayward's salary is gonna cost $40M a year on Charlotte's cap. And your answer is "small market", herp derp that's the smartest answer we can come up with!

Jordan should sell the team to James Dolan.


What did you do in your life where you will teach me how money works? Tell me. I would love to know how experienced you are in the world of how money works.
