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:

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
