A New Era For The Bobcats? Can It Happen Tonight?

I apologize to you guys because I know this is not the right forum for this. I really just wanted to ask you guys a couple of serious questions involving the Bobcats. I'm a huge NBA fan and I know that the Bobcats don't get any love in the NBA by fans or anything else much like the Carolina Panthers before Cam. To be honest I'm a Lakers fan and I been one my whole life but over the past couple of years I developed some love for the Bobcats and they are now my second favorite team. Are you guys hoping the Bobcats get the #1 overall pick tonight to land Anthony Davis? Do you guys think Anthony Davis can be the Cam Newton for the Bobcats?

Even if they land Davis the issue will be how do you keep him after his rookie deal. Otherwise you become the Cleveland Cavaliers who landed James and lost him the minute he could bolt to a big market team. The problem with the Bobcats is similar to many small market teams in the NBA. They can't compete with the big market teams for the most part. That is different than the NFL where revenue sharing and hard caps have created more parity across the league.

So no the Bobcats no matter who they get won't have the long term success that Newton will have with the Panthers. For the next few years? Perhaps.....

The Bobcats would be ecstatic to be a good team even if just for a few years.

Lebron could have left sooner than he did. He stayed in Cleveland from 2003 to 2010.

Like Anthony Davis, Tim Duncan is a once in a lifetime player.

Sad news bobcats fan, but with the fourth pick in the 2012 NBA draft the Charlotte bobcats select.........

They have a great front office and head coach that surrounds Timmy with talent to compete every year. That is something all small markets must do (including the Panthers with Cam) if they intend to keep their stars around.

He is the exception to the rule. If you remember he stayed in school for all 4 years even when he would have gone number 1 after his junior year. I heard on Monday that he wasn't going to seek free agency and wanted to retire a Spur. How many guys aspire to play for 1 franchise their whole career and retire for them even if they could make more money elsewhere??

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
