Unfortunately what most people for re-branding forget to mention, myself included is that the Bobcats have a great opportunity to re-brand as well as turn their team around.

They are in position to get the number one overall pick in the draft in Anthony Davis and they will also be going into the off-season with the lowest team payroll as well as the most cap space (somewhere between 17 million and 23 million, if my calculations are right; it depends on Jamario Moon's contract and how much we had to pay Diaw when we terminated his contract) of any team in the NBA.

With this in mind we should be able to significantly increase our roster and possibly make a run at an eighth seed in the playoffs and at the very least a 30+ win season.

Having the Hornets name and logo on the chest of our player's would just be a bonus.

That is why I am for re-branding.

Most of the guys that are against re-branding are acting like we can either change the name or we can improve the team. I am here to tell all of you that it is not an either/or scenario. Both re-branding and drastically improving have a very good chance of happening and both would improve the team for the better. One as a marketing/publishing stunt (which is all pro sports is to everyone but the players, if you worked in the sport industry you would know that) and the other as a productivity/entertainment stunt as putting a competitive team out on the floor night end and night out would boost revenue for the team/city and bring back a love for professional basketball to the state that so dearly needs it.

That is all.

But you do realize that even if we became the Charlotte Hornets we would still be the same exact team

It will still be a long way from contention, but with more bad contracts off the books, at least a top 4 pick, and moves that Cho will probably make on draft day as he did last season to acquire assets, it won't be the same exact team.

Heck, it might even be watchable.

David Stern is a stubborn shortsighted jackwagon. You should have seen his face when Benson said "Hornets don't mean anything to us". He's an arrogant SOB who doesn't want his dumb f*ck*ry of a decision to let Shinn take the name and not allow NO to give their team their own name reversed.

You can't swim against the current dumbars you should have done the will of the people instead of being an arrogant prick about it.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
