   I guess that “[hot rumor](https://twitter.com/HornetsReddit/status/1754974813557252450)” was pretty hot indeed.

   It’s been a mixed tenure to say the least, but I suppose I’ll always appreciate him for being a better GM than Rich fucking Cho. Enjoy retirement Mitch

   Have no clue who’s next but I’ll put my money on Trajan Langdon just because I like his name and he’s a former player

   Thanks for everything Mitch. Even though things never really materialized, it felt like when he was allowed to cook he generally made decent moves.

   Now *please* don’t promote Buzz from within!
