Dampier to the Heat?

Much has already been said about the trade that brought Erick Dampier over to the Bobcats along with the likelihood of the team actually signing him to a contract since that $13.1 million that Mark Cuban had promised him is just way too much.
Sure enough the talks have stalled and the team is looking to dump him in September and then possibly resign him for less. However, if they do waive him with the hopes of resigning him they may end up seeing him simply walk away.
Now for many of …

Kwame Brown - What Can Ya Say?

I can’t think about this anymore so here it goes:
I started by writing something really, really mean:
Kwame Brown, welcome.  No, you know what?  YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!  Go back to Georgia, throw some cake at somebody, do whatever it is you were doing!
We don’t need another reclamation project.  Don’t let MJ fool you, I speak for the greater good.
Then, I realized that was pretty mean and unnecessary.  The guy can’t help where he was drafted.  He can’t help that he was the first guy “hand picked” by The Greatest Player to play the …

Why Mike? Why?

Some owners have been remarkable in their efforts to get certain players in their team. I’m sure some of you will remember the Pizza Hut commercials in the 1990s that made fun of the money Jerry Jones spent to get Deion Sanders on the roster; Redskins fans are likely wishing Dan Snyder didn’t money whip Albert Haynesworth so bad.
With those two guys in mind, I have to wonder what His Airness, the great Michael Jordan, was thinking when he agreed to sign Kwame Brown to a one-year deal worth $1.3 …

Anyone got a Center?

After reading further through the forums I have to say that I am impressed with most of the comments; the readers here are obviously well informed about their team and are not shy about sharing their thoughts.
That being said I have a question or more of an observation of sorts that I would like to present; I will be very curious and a little eager even to read your comments.
The concerns at point guard are clear. Whether or not the team should have let Raymond Felton go we will not …

Sherron Collins- a Diamond in the Rough?

In my short time writing for this site I have noticed that there are lots of concerns at point guard. As a fan of the team I liked Raymond Felton and was sad to see him go; he was not great, but he was good enough.
I’ve noticed that many of you that participate in the forums are skeptical of D.J. Augustin; having Shaun Livingston as his back-up does not help either. The bad thing is that the Bobcats are within reach of becoming a perennial playoff contender if the right …

Just in case D.J. Augustin does not work out…

After reading threw a number of the posts that fans have written on different forums on Bobcats Planet I can see that there is not a whole lot of faith being put in the ability of D.J. Augustin to run the point for the team in the 2010-11 season.
Personally, I am holding out hope for the third year pro. After watching him at Texas for a couple years I got to see first-hand how talented he is, and I’m hoping that all he needs is the opportunity to play …

Boris Diaw: Will he stay or will he go?

When it comes to professional sports, you can’t always judge the success of season based on championships. As much as everyone wants to get there and sees it as the ultimate goal, only one team can. Sometimes you have to take baby steps before looking at the championship as a realistic goal.
That is exactly what the Charlotte Bobcats accomplished last season. Their record of 44-38 was a nine game improvement off of 2009 and good enough to earn them their first playoff berth. Being swept by the Magic was no …

How the 2010-2011 Miami Heat season will play out

There has been some discussion recently in our forum about just how good this new and improved Miami Heat squad is going to be in this upcoming season. What I would like to do is put my predictions here on public record so that they can either be praised or ridiculed at the end of the season. Let me preface these predictions by saying that I am in no way a Lebron James fanboy, but this is just how I see it… Here goes.

The Miami Heat will win 68+ games …

Roster Overhaul: Good or Bad?

It appears we are in another summer of ‘remodeling’ the team into something better than it was last year. While the long term affects of this could be positive, our history with MJ/Larry shows this same type of thing will probably happen again next summer.  My question is, is it worth it?
We just had the best season in franchise history with a group that hadn’t even been together an entire season. Wouldn’t it have been better to see what they could do with one full season together then re-evaluating? I …

Speculation and Actuality

***Let me first preface this post with a warning.  This is not a shot across the bow at a “Rival” site.  This is not meant as a burn for fan speculation.  I respect and enjoy the folks referenced in this post and I’ll continue to read their stuff as I hope they’ll continue to read mine.  This isn’t a pin to burst a bubble of a fan base.  I’m a dude writing my thoughts, take them for what they are worth***

Welcome to the Bobcats Erick Dampier… Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Welcome to Charlotte Erick,
A few words of advice… Rent don’t Buy. With a contract that calls for you to be paid $13 million unguaranteed, there is about a 99.999999999% chance that you are going to be traded or possibly even waived sometime between the time that Wipeout comes on tonight and this season’s trade deadline. Speaking of Wipeout:

Now back to Dampier. We would all like to give you a heartfelt welcome to town. Please enjoy your stay (as brief as it will certainly be).
Do you guys have any words of …

Welcome Back to the Bobcats Matt Carroll

As part of the Bobcats/Mavericks trade, we would like to welcome former fan favorite  Matt Carroll back to the Charlotte Bobcats.
In his last go around with the Bobcats in the 2007-2008 season, Matt only saw 14 minutes per game of  court time. At the time, the thought was that his game didn’t really seem suited to be a Larry Brown type of perimeter player ( long, rangy, athletic, defensive minded ).  Although I seriously doubt that he has added those tools to his toolbox, I hope that he does …

Raymond Felton speaks about joining the New York Knicks

As always, Ray is a class act. He could have scorched the earth Dan-Gilbert-Style, but he took the high road and praised his time with the Bobcats. We all wish him well in the Big apple playing for Mike Dantoni… It should be interesting.

It’s so hard, to say goodbye!

To yesterdayeeeeee…….(cooleyhighharmony, y’all).

Raymond Felton, Ray-MOND Felton!  We will miss you, sir.
Nothing official at press time but it’s likely that the man from Latta, SC is likely bound elsewhere.  To me this is sad in a way.  Disappointing that after 5 years the Bobcats are so willing to depart with a solid point guard while we have no real options outside of DJ Augustin who has been serviceable but not quite what you’d expect to start on a (former?) playoff team.
Can you blame Raymond at this point for not signing to …
