Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This guy's was highly touted in Portland. I think ownerships belt tightening played a huge role in his failure in Charlotte. Cho, currently an executive with the Memphis Grizzlies, is believed to have a solid relationship with Rose. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Awful draft record:
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article157516184.html
With Charlotte, Cho’s draft record is mixed at best: the Hornets got Walker in his first draft, but it’s hard to say how much of that was his doing, considering he had been on the job for just nine days. And beyond Kemba, there hasn’t been a real success for Charlotte in the draft. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Cody Zeller seemed like quality picks at the time and have turned into valuable players, but neither is a star. Noah Vonleh was a high-upside pick – though he joined an already-crowded frontcourt – that was traded after just one season. It’s too early to judge Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon, but the latter seems to be a second-round steal. While the beginning of Cho’s tenure was marked with intelligent free agent signings, the more recent returns haven’t been as pleasant. Particularly, the summer of 2016 was a rough one. Coming off of a playoff appearance, the desire was to run it back with the same team and see if they could make it further. Nicolas Batum agreed to a near-max contract that is now among the worst in the league. Marvin Williams, an aging stretch-four, got $54.5 million over four years. The Batum contract was justifiable at the time, but the Williams deal was always too much.

I thought this hire could be a bright spot, but it looks like more of a blackhole. Well, he had a good rep in Portland and is part of the Memphis rebuild. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
