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.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
