If you asked NBA fans and executives who the most poorly ran franchise has been over the past decade or so, many would point directly at the Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats organization. The team was consistently at the bottom of the league in wins and their bad draft picks and free agent signings were starting to pile up. It would seem as if there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Things started to look better when the team made the playoffs for the first time in the 2009-2010 season since returning to Charlotte. That quickly changed when just two years later, they had the worst season in NBA history.
