Michael Jordan Press Conference Today Regarding Name Change

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A person familiar with the situation says Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is changing his team's name to the Hornets.

The person says Jordan will detail the timetable for the change to be completed at a press conference the Bobcats have scheduled for Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the name change has not been publicly announced.

NBA deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver previously has said it would take "about 18 months" for the Bobcats to change their name. That means Charlotte could once again become the Hornets by the 2014-15 season.

The Hornets resided in Charlotte from 1988-2002 before then-owner George Shinn moved the franchise to New Orleans. The New Orleans Hornets recently changed their name to the Pelicans.

 

 

 

If I am MJ, I announce how much it will cost to change the team name.  And that in order to complete the change, the bobcats needed to sell 80% of their tickets this season.  Lets see how badly people want the name changed.  Its put up or shut up time for charlotte.

I'd encourage anyone who's even REMOTELY interested in this topic to make it out to "The Hive" tonight at 6.  They're going to be streaming the press conference live via the arena JumboTron...we're trying to pack the joint with teal and purple.

 

Ahem...

 

BEE THERE!!!

 

:D

Tickets start at $8 for entrance into the arena from 6pm-8pm for the draft party and announcement. It might be wise to RSVP as well. 

 

 

here's the link for the RSVP.

I'm still thinking about going. Did any of you guys get a call from the Bobcats asking if yall were going to attend? They called me twice in the last two 3 weeks.

It's actually free tonight, CarPanFan.  The $8 you saw is in reference to the price per game of certain season tickets.

 

Not trying to nit pick, just didn't want to scare anybody off ;)

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
