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.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
