Cool
noooo
He gets paid a ton to pretend to be above Morey and do nothing. I wouldn’t leave either.
Gun to my head I couldn’t tell you what Brand does for the organization.
I have no problem with him sticking around. I’m not totally sure what he does in practice nowadays but it doesn’t appear to be a detriment to the team.
Elton has brought structure to this org and yeah he made mistakes signing al, but doesn’t everyone make mistakes?
lol
….yay…
As a Sixers fan living in Charlotte and married to a lifelong Hornets fan, I was kinda hoping he would take the job. Oh well.
Dude has the best front office gig
Hey, I’m always in favor of keeping the old school chevy around.
None of us have insight into how the structure of the FO works, but if Morey says he helpful there, then I’m glad he’s choosing to stay.
WTF is wrong with this guy?
This dude is cashing checks for sure
What does Elton brand actually do tho?

dude is perfect for Charlotte. terrible trades, terrible asset management, and continually failing upwards. go to Charlotte and sign Tobi – the universe demands balance.
He made some pretty bad moves as a rookie GM and got appropriately roasted for it. I’d say he’s fine doing behind-the-scenes work outside of public scrutiny for a while.
Plus, he’s probably still on a GM contract. I’d ride that train as long as I could if I were in his position, if only to do the work of an assistant while getting paid like a manager.
I wouldn’t want the Charlotte GM job either.
