The Charlotte Bobcats today added Rob Werdann as an assistant coach on the staff of Head Coach Paul Silas. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Werdann brings eight seasons experience as either an assistant coach or a scout on the NBA level. He spent last season as an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors, after serving as an assistant coach for the New Orleans Hornets in 2009-10. Prior to that, Werdann served as an advance scout for the Hornets from 2004-09. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach with the Yakima Sun Kings in the CBA in 2000-01, before spending three seasons as an assistant coach with the Columbus Riverdragons of the NBA Development League from 2001-04.

Since we are hiring almost every single GSW coach, can we at least try to steal some of their talent like Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, or David Lee.

That means the end of Oakley unfortunately.

Yeah, I read about it on RufusOnFire and the original poster said "This doesn't necessarily mean the end of Charles Oakley" and I thought to myself, now you're just in denial, why would they add a higher payroll to the staff instead of the team roster. Obviously it means someone is gone and that someone is Oakley. I hope he rehabs and is somehow able to get his back to at least 80 to 90 percent where he could possibly have the itch to come back and coach again.

I credit Oak with the transforming of Kwame Brown from trash to antique that you really don't want to throw away yet.

Rick Bonnell reported earlier that this doesn't necessarily mean Oakley is gone. According to Silas, they had to hire someone else in the event Oakley doesn't come back due to back surgery. There still appears to be some uncertainty about that. This was from today's article:

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.
