Michael Jordan was interested in making an offer to acquire Carmelo Anthony until the forward informed the Bobcats owner through a representative that he had no interest in playing for Charlotte or signing an extension, according to sources.

The Bobcats figured they had little chance at signing Anthony to an extension, but they explored the possibility anyway given the forward's relationship with Jordan as one of his product line's top endorsers.

Anthony will earn about $6 million this season through the Jordan brand.

Charlotte forward Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw have drawn significant trade interest, according to sources.

Sounds pretty cowardly if he did it through a rep considering the business relationship. Can't really be mad, but still, what a b*tch. I wonder how much longer he'll be a member of Jordan Brand?

Yeah he'll still be with Jordan. Honestly though, I don't get players. I've probably posted this before, but you'd think someone would like to go to a team, and become that team's best player of all time, and make it THEIR team. Guess not.

It's just something we're going to have to get used to. We're a mediocre sports town, and people don't want to play here. No one knows about this place. Unless we over-spend, or get lucky with a draft pick and THEN overspend, I don't know if we'll ever have a star.

I'm ready for everything to give up on the Melo thing though, it's not happening.

Have you ever been to another NBA arena?

How about:

Boston

Dallas

LA

Miami

Chicago

New York

...all have great arenas, atmospheres, and entertainment...

The second part to this argument is that the city of Charlotte cannot offer the type of flashy lifestyle as some of the cities on the list above...

Good point - I've been to two NBA arenas besides our own. Golden State in the late nineties (terrible) and Dallas about 6 years ago. Mark Cuban does the game experience thing right, not that like that's news or anything.

Fowler brought up the Melo to charlotte idea again now that NJ is out of the deal...just thought id bring it back up to banter purposes.

I saw that, don't know what Fowler is thinking. Melo already said no to Charlotte and Jordan. If Jordan did a deal, it would only be a half season rental; might help this year (some) but kill the future. We have to give up Wallace or Jax and more, and next year after Melo leaves, we got nothing.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
