Rod Higgins recently sent out an email to Bobcat season ticket holders promising change.

The email entails how much cap space the Cats will have and what they plan to do with it.

Higgins states that the Bobcats will have roughly $20 million dollars in cap room and that they will indeed sign a max level free agent.

Make way for the new and improved Bobcats next year. I fully except Al Jefferson to be a Bobcat next season.

Change is upon us, Go Cats.

Whoa, I wonder who they can get to come to Charlotte. I'd expect that it would be a big like Jefferson, that has some offense and serious scoring potential to his game. That way Bizmack being on the floor doesn't look so bad offensively. Just a question of who would come to Charlotte to play for the Bobcats.

He's been saying that since Cho was hired. But he had been saying all along that it would come after the 2012-2013 season so sounds like that is still in the plans. I'm telling you, Cho is going to build a winning team. Really bad seasons this season and last season were all part of the plan all along. We'll be a darn good looking team next year with possibly 2 top 14 picks and signing a max level guy. (more than likely a big)

Imagine:

PG-Kemba

SG-Shabazz/McClemore

SF-MKG

PF-Al Jefferson(we'll pretend that's the guy)

C-Big Smack (who I think will be greatly improved)

Plus I think we'll sign other good free agents and get another good draft pick with Portlands assuming we don't trade it away. Our bench could be deep.

Not trying to rain on your parade but who do you think is going to come here? Howard? Paul? Get real.

I'm sure they will sign a player to a max contract. But they will foolishly over pay for a mid level guy. It's what bad teams do.

I disagree. Cho is VERY smart and knows what to pay for certain players and when it gets to be too much. I doubt we get a Howard or someone of that level but a lot of guys would love to come here and be the leader of the team and get an opportunity to shine as the go-to-guy. Plus our owner is MJ and that is a very powerful tool to have when trying to get someone. And if we change our name to the Hornets that could create some excitement among players and show them we are serious about changing our culture. Also we have a good young nucleus that will only get better.

I really hop we don't draft a 2 guard this year, unless it is with the Portland pick. There are some good bigs that will be in the top half of this draft and realistically Bismack is at least 2 years away from being other than a complete liability.

With Zeller, Len, and Noel sitting at the top of the draft we have to get one of those guys IMO

None of the bigs have star potential. We DESPERATELY have to find legit scorers on this team. All of the bigs are average at best. We already have Noel in Bismack. It would be easier to get a big with Portlands pick. We need a dynamic scorer to put between Kemba and MKG. That is a much more important need. We'll get our big through free agency.

It isn't going to matter who we get if we have to play 3 on 5 on offense like we are now because people are trapping every ball screen and whoever is guarding the other post player is helping on the roll.

We have Kemba, Ben Gordon who will still be under contract, Hendo, and Sessions. All 4 of those guys are good enough scorers at the guard positions.

And if you think Kemba is good now, just wait until defenders actually have to defend the roll instead of trapping every time.

Meanwhile in the post we have a guy that literally cannot even catch the ball or make layups right now.

If you need an scoring guard, right now it would appear that CJ McCollum would be available at #14 and he is my favorite #2 guard in this draft.

McCollum is my boy and would be great. I see him as a Jason Terry type, though. Great scorer coming off the bench.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
