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 …

The more I think about His Airness signing Kwame Brown the more I think it is actually a good idea. Before you guys pepper me with comments like ‘what the *^&^’ or ‘are you stupid????’ just hear me out a little.
It is a given that this team needs some help at center. Is Kwame the man for the job? If you look at his body of work you have to think not a chance. BUT as most of you know if anyone is up for the challenge of a …

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 …

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 …

Today The Charlotte Bobcats have signed Polkadelic rapper Kwame to an unguaranteed contract.
Details Here

Wait, Hold on a second… You’re telling me that it’s not this Kwame

But this one?????

This mixup in Kwames is indeed puzzling… Which Kwame would you prefer suiting up for the Bobcats?
Stay tuned to this site, more detailed and less tongue in cheek analysis of the Kwame Brown signing is on its way very soon.

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 …

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 …

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 …

Across the forum there have been several people calling for the Front Office to trade Diaw now we have Tyrus Thomas on a starter’s contract. I think if Diaw was traded no one would argue with it or say they never saw it coming, considering he was almost traded to Toronto. However if Diaw was not moved before the start of the season there would be some benefits.
Throughout Diaw’s career, he has always been one of the most versatile players in the NBA and can quite literally play any position. …

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 …

With the conclusion of the summer league, I’ve gone back to read what I wrote with what I hoped would happen in the Summer League and the improvement of the “rookies.” And I am happy to say, that they have both improved, in my eyes Hendo being the biggest improver.
First up, Gerald Henderson aka Hendo aka Fro
What I wrote previously:
Improvement: Needs a big off-season, as he’ll be fighting for minutes. Training camp and pre-season games will show whether he deserves minutes or not. He needs to work on …

Today Gerald Wallace along with Tyreke Evans, Javale McGee and OJ Mayo were cut from Team USA. It would have been nice to see him make the team and wear the U.S.A. colors proudly, BUT as a Bobcats fan I’m not too sad about it. Because of his playing style he would have been the player most likely to ricochet off the elbow of some 320 pound Ukranian center. He also would have had the highest probability of landing headfirst while being undercut by an over-matched Kazakistanian small forward. I’m …

SteveMorrison15 is hard at work on the next episode of the Adam Morrison comic and from what I hear, it will be epic!

The comic will be released right here on BobcatsPlanet, so stay tuned it is guaranteed to be hilarious

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 …
