It was a hard time for the Hornets, though the roster is still young and talented. Whereas, Hawks’ role players stepped up for this big game. This does seem like progress for the Hornets, but it is not. The Hornets have been down as a team for a long time now.

If the team does not build a reliable roster around guys like LaMelo, Rozier, and Bridges, these players might consider leaving Charlotte. Shannon Sharpe is not sure how Michael Jordan is going to handle such a situation.
“… but you know in this league, you win with superstars. And right now, Melo seems to be cusp, but I’m not so sure, by the time Melo is a superstar, he’s not going to want to stay in Charlotte, he’s probably going to come back out this side of town (Hawks).”
Michael Jordan has to make smart moves in order to keep his players’ interest
It might be a misconception to some fans that a superstar player will try to lead the team to a championship every year.

The Hornets, though, do not have a high draft pick this year. It is definitely going to be a tough job for Michael Jordan and the Hornets’ front office.
