OK, I'm a basketball fan, but I'm much more informed (and opinionated) about football. I could probably give you a good summary about how to build an NFL franchise. My question is what is the best strategy, in your opinions, to go about building an NBA franchise? I ask this because that's where I think we are with the hornets right now. Benson has no long term debt (stadium issues with either team), and the team really is in a good cap situation, if what I read is true. Where do we go from here? I see teams with a "Big 3" such as Miami and Boston. I see teams like SA that seem to do it a little differently. I think we have a good front office in place, and we have a lease and all of that. I'm mainly concerned with player personnel. What's the best way to build a team that consistently contends?
