Fowler - Bobcats Turn Down 9th & 19th for Top 5 Pick

theres a reason the bobcats are the bobcats

According to Wiki:

"In June 2003, the new team was named the Bobcats. The bobcat, an expert at survival according to the North Carolina Wildlife Commission, is athletic, fierce and an indigenous predator to the Carolinas. Charlotte, already being home to the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League, made the cat-related name a natural choice for the area's new basketball team. There is also speculation as to whether or not the "Bob" in Bobcats is a further reference to Robert "Bob" Johnson, the original owner of the team."

Tough decision. It's a seemingly weak draft so they either take a chance on just the #5 pick or they keep their picks and give themselves two chances at improving the team.

I would have made the trade. the NBA draft even in deep years usually doesn't have much at #19, picks like that are a throwaway for bad teams. They can't draft a complimentary player as there's not much to compliment on the Bobcats.

I'd take Burks and Faried over the #4 or #5 at this point.

Marshon Brooks easily won the matchup and had his way with Alec Burks today.

In this draft, nine might be as good as five, and you might be able to flip 19 for a better pick next year. It might be nice to move the picks and get Kemba or somebody, but maybe they are waiting until draft day to make the move.

Good Point

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
