When the Hornets signed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to a four-year deal earlier this week, it was a recognition of his talent and what he does for the Hornets when he's on the floor, and what happens to them when he's off of it (spoiler: bad things and losses). The Hornets franchise has had a foundational player at the small forward position ever since the dominant front court of Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning left town. Easy to get away with patchwork small forwards when you had those two guys anchoring the middle. - - Glen Rice, Jamal Mashburn, Gerald Wallace, and now Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who will make our all-time team at arguably the most dynamic and dominant position in today's game. - - - Learn more about your ad choices.

Got Me Like Tyler Hansbruhhhh / Rich Cho once again ripped Doug and David out of their vacation to talk
Got Me Like Tyler Hansbruhhhh / Rich Cho once again ripped Doug and David out of their vacation to talk about the Hornets seemingly endless offseason. The Hornets added a fifth big that will be familiar to some local fans, all too familiar for some that aren't fans of Carolina Blue. Former Pacer, Raptor and yes...Tarheel...Tyler Hansbrough trades it all in for teal and purple but questions swirl around the 15th man on the roster. Does he make up for the loss of Bismack Biyombo? Is this just a stunt to put fans in the seats? - - PLUS we discuss who has the most to lose and most to gain when training camp starts in late September.
