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:

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
