Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller set for another Charlotte Hornets workout + MJ sale fallout



In this episode of Locked On Hornets, Walker Mehl and Doug Branson discuss the upcoming NBA draft and the anxiety surrounding the potential choices for the Charlotte Hornets. They delve into the decision-making process involving Michael Jordan, who is reportedly working out and holding final meetings with prospects Brandon Miller and Scott Henderson. The hosts talk about Jordan’s reduced role as the majority owner of the Hornets and how his impact on the draft will be significant as the team faces one of the most crucial decisions in its history.

The conversation then shifts to the sale of the majority stake of the team by Michael Jordan, sparking concerns about the franchise’s future in Charlotte. While the odds of the team moving are low, the possibility cannot be ruled out, especially with new owners lacking North Carolina connections. The hosts also discuss the character arc of Jordan and his community involvement during his tenure, hoping for improvements under the new ownership. They wrap up the episode by sharing their thoughts on the potential draft picks and how Vegas odds are shifting between Miller and Henderson, causing much debate among Hornets fans.

  1. The A-Team

    I think one of the reasons there’s so much intrigue about who we take at 2, is because we’re in a situation we didn’t think we’d be in – we thought we were getting 4th in the lottery, and now it’s #2…unbelievable chance here, and eith Scoot or Miller would be huge…BUT LET’S GO SCOOTIN!!

  3. Channel name here

    The fact some people believed the false rumours of Miller being better then scoot/ the hornets wanting miller over scoot is hilarious. Scoot all the way and then sign bridges and we a playoff team

  4. A Dee

    Trade for Zion. Superstars win games not another project draft pick

  5. A Dee

    Micheal Jordan caught up in a gambling debt, now he’s an employee

  6. Vince

    Even if jordan picks the best hornets in history between the 2, that doesnt change the fact he did terrible job in his time as an owner. If hornets become succesful its not him its bec the new owner did a great job

  7. Rima ?

    To-do list things this Season CLT
    – build leadership and chemistry
    – make PLAYOFFS

    also can the ‘92 jersey come back

  9. Andzile Dlamini

    I'd like to remind everybody that LaMelo decided to wait until after the draft to sign his extension, because he was eligible to sign it but he pushed back on it….I wonder why🤔

  10. HartHeimer

    Charlotte will select Scoot. Similar to the Sacramento Kings when they selected Haliburton and he became great. He became so great that they were able to trade him for an All-Star big-man Sabonis. If you don't like Fox and Sabonis, then you don't like NBA 🏀🏀🏀

  11. The High Vibe

    im cool w whatever pick but if we do pick scoot we need to also trade melo for a huge purse and sign pj and miles back. keep terry and trade gordon to move up to 10-11. bouk and gordon and the 27 for 10

  12. Van Iyke

    Does this tea leaves mean that Pelicans are yet to make an "aggressive" offer for the #2 pick like they made noise about?

  13. Outtatime

    If we get this pick correct, coupled with a good season of health, I think we have a top 4 team in the east. Because right now, Orlando is the 4th best team on paper.

    Brooklyn has fallen
    Chicago & maimi are aging
    The pacers have no pace
    Heck, Boston has 3 separate ways they could fall apart, mainly cuz of the new cba.

  14. Anthony Jefferson

    the other general manager Rich Cho had some bad decisions too. Doing bad contracts, Nicloas Batum , Cody Zeller back in 2016

  15. Ken K

    I hope the Hornets keep the pick, def hoping for Scoot. But either way the pick goes, Hornets need to bring in YOUNG talent and build this thing!

  20. Jonathan Williams

    You guys have a great thing going. I’m new but you guys make the Hornets feel as important as they should as a true fan

  21. brett boaz

    Okay so it looks like we are trading for Zion according to Twitter, but hear me out. We trade the 2nd pick and maybe some other stuff for Zion and the 14th pick but, it’s a three way trade with Portland where we trade that newly acquired 14th pick and one of our players that the blazers want for the 3rd kick. So now we have Zion, and Brandon miller.

  22. Jeremy Keyes

    Please Charlotte do the right thing and take scoot. A bunch of teams are trying to trade up to get him not Miller. Take the best talent available

  25. Ham Radio Live!

    Nice job guys. I’m so ready for this draft to be OVER, I can’t stand it.

    If you’re picking as high as #2 in this draft, I think any team has the right to do all the due diligence they need to to make their pick.

    It’s too hard to get in the top three and nearly impossible to get into the top three in a deep draft like this because of the way the lottery works.

    I wish Portland would take “a second look.” Good on the Hornets.

    Here in Oregon, fans can’t even enjoy the excitement of getting this high in the lottery because of the ramifications it has on our all-time franchise player. Frankly, I don’t want to lose Dame.

    But one All-Star player coming back isn’t going to make PDX contenders. It’s going to take quite a bit more than that.

    It’s too bad we can’t just enjoy the process more and thank our lucky stars. The lottery balls “bounced the right way.”

    THIS IS THE WEEK OUR FRANCHISE TAKES THAT NEXT STEP TO A CONSISTENT PLAYOFF TEAM! WEVE HIT W LAMELO PJ MILES AND WILLIAMS. ONE MORE

  29. Jp Sadie
