After seeing this pathetic bunch struggle to put up 67 points in an NBA game, they don't even deserve to call themselves an NBA team. Hell, half of the NBA Development teams would beat the Hornets this season.

Keep the Bobcats name....run Jordan out of town. The guy is the WORST businessman in professional sports. He is clueless....plain clueless.

I haven't either but last night at the Arena, I was working in the team store and one of the older security guys in the arena came up to me and said "I guess everything around here is going to say Hornets pretty soon" Also another guy was in the team store wearing a Charlotte Hornets shirt. He was talking to my manager and said something about 'they are bringing back the Hornets" I was like have I missed something. I really thought there was breaking news or something that I missed. We also just so happen to to put all the Bobcats jerseys on sale for 50% off. We are trying to get rid of all those suckers. But then I came home and saw no news on it. So I don't where everyone is hearing news on this.

I've personally been on upwards of 20 news programs, radio shows, newspapers, etc. KittyMan, from here to Charleston to Winston Salem. Gonna be on Keith Larson's show today. Was on WCNC last night. We're everywhere...go to the Facebook page; I keep a running record of all of our 'press' in the 'notes' section. If you haven't caught the Movement in the news, expect to soon :)

The problem with a rebrand, is that it has not long term benefit of the team. Sure merchandise would sell better for a short period, but that and all the hoopla from the rebrand would be gone after 2 weeks of games. It's just a waste of money, the Hornets name doesn't belong to Charlotte, it belongs to New Orleans first. The NBA second and unless the rebran automatically sells out the new arena for the next 2 seasons and make the team the #1 team in the NBA in merchandise, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

The name of the team shouldn't matter, its your states/hometown's team and you should cheer for them with out griping about a damn name. Should be more focused on what the team needs to do to be competitive, changing the name doesn't help in that regard.

Also, for those who are interested and haven't yet seen it, this is the Charlotte Hornets 2.0 concept uniform/logo updates that we've been floating around the 'net the last few days. They were actually designed for us by a NOLA fan whom I've met through all of this. He goes by BigDub81 on HornetsReport.com and he's the guy responsible for all the killer Brass/Krewe/Breakers (the list goes on) mock ups that you might've seen over the past few months.

Anyway, yeah. Enjoy! :)

I'm very disappointed in Jordan also. Great player, not so much a great business man.

Surely there is a wealthy person out there with local ties that could buy the team and put it on the right track. It would be great if hendrick or gibbs or some other local ownership team with pro sports experience took over and turned it around.

You're right, the name shouldn't matter..but unfortunately to a lot of people it does. It matters enough to people that they will probably show up to games, start buying merchandise again, and pumping much needed revenue in the franchise. I personally have been neutral to the whole thing...but sometimes you have to listen to the customers...impulsive and nostalgic as they may be. I personally have taken a liken to the 'Cats colors and jerseys..especially the whites. Then again..i'll show up regardless of the name.

I seriously doubt anyone would buy this team without a deep, deep discount. So the question begs for MJ, financially does it make since to pay to rebrand the cats? Or just sell, cut your losses, etc...

I like Jordan as a player, and he did at least dig the cats slightly out of the black hole that bob Johnson put this team into (and by black hole, I am talking about all of the negativity he created for the community). He did get people to support the team.

If you got a mark Cuban type of owner, who is a really good business person, then in 3-5 yrs you could see this organization turn around.

"Fans" already giving up on MJ after 2 years. LMBAO

Why wont JR buy it? I know he's no Tom Benson, and his money isnt that long, but why wont he step up? Outside of him theres no one from NC as rich as Bob or tied to the league like MJ. The whole smalltime country mogul thing dont work in the NBA guys. This isnt NASCAR.

I actually like what we are doing as a franchise. Yeah we are pooty this year and will probably be pooty next year even if we do get the unibrow.

But we are doing the right thing by re-building and doing it through the draft. I like the direction Cho has us headed, even if I don't like the quality of play on the court this season.

Panthers: 6 wins in 16 games

Bobcats: 7 wins in 60 games

lol at KT calling Panthers a "losing team" while touting Bobcats.

Panthers: 4 playoff appearances, 3 division titles, 1 Super Bowl appearance

Bobcats: 1 playoff appearance

At least try to win the argument bro

The Panthers have been around a lot longer than the Bobcats, and both teams haven't done much and are losing franchises

I think That if Jordan does do the rebrand and makes his money back it will help him trust the opinions of advisors/fans moreso than taking it all into his hands. Not only would he restore our name and give us back OUR colors, he would improve the outsides view of him caring about the fanbases wants. It would spark loyalty outside of those in favor for the movement. This literally would be a drastic turn around affecting every facet of the organization, including owners relations to the area.

      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.

      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
