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.

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the fist pumping I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
