Bobcats claim Brendan Haywood

Sweet, now let's just get Jamison and call it an off season.

2012-2013 Current Roster

PG: Kemba Walker, Ramon Sessions

SG: Gerald Henderson, Ben Gordon, Reggie Williams, Matt Carroll

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffrey Taylor, Derrick Brown

PF: Bismack Biyombo, Tyrus Thomas

C: Brendan Haywood, Byron Mullens, DeSagana Diop

If we sign Jamison, I can see Carroll, Thomas and Diop as the three inactive's for each game.

We have had a very nice offseason. I like the roster. Its going to be an exciting year. Things are looking up for the Bobcats! We will have the money to sign a star as well and have created a roster to where a star could say, ok I think I could be that missing piece.

Thats all I asked for.

How many games do you think Haywood plays...in limited time he gets banged up every season it seems. He adds a presence but id rather have a Scola or JJ hickson.. Ben Gordon is really an awkward fit for the roser..he adds shooting but a 6'0 tall backcourt is not exciting.

I want to see a lot of MKG, Taylor and Gerald Henderson...if they go small.

Great move. We'll still get a high draft pick, but we'll hopefully be a bit more respectable and fun to watch (ie sell some tickets) with this roster we're putting together. Build through draft and smart signings. A big like Haywood for 2 mill a year, at age 32, is not bad at all. He won't put up a ton of points but he'll give us another defensive guy down low when Biz is on the bench. If Tyrus can somehow turn it around we'll have a decent defensive front court to play around with.

This offseason continues to be a success. I can't expect anything more than what has been done. If we can get Jamison or if we possibly go after Scola, that'll be icing on the cake.

That's not a a small lineup at all, two of those three guys are great sized small forwards.

If they go small, expect a Walker and Gordon combo, which shouldn't happen at all because those two probably can't play together. When Gordon is in, I expect Sessions to be in.

Also I give Haywood 3/4 of the season.

Finally, they are still looking to bring in another power forward (Humphries, Jamison, Scola, and Landry are all options).

    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
    • Ehhh im not mad either way I don't think hes garbage but he was and is overpaid.... but he was a skating turnover machine.
    • My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
