Bobcats Front Office

How is an un-guaranteed $13 mil contract a bad thing? It is either greata trade bait or you cut $13 mil off the payroll. And Najera and Carroll are OK off the bench.

What's rough now looking back after the trade went final is we took on about 7M or so next season for Damps contract. If we can't move his contract, the trade wasn't a good one.

And I have to admit, I'm still mad we didn't trade into the 2nd for Lance Stephenson to play PG. That should've been the easiest move to make all off-season.

Really? Aside from Jax and L.Brown (I'm sure it was all Jordan), Do you really think those moves had any real significant impact for the team? We ended up letting all of them go within a year, minus Diaw bc honestly no one wants him.

LB: result of Jordan
Jax: result of LB

Higgins has played a role with getting Jax and negotiating but LB needs to take the front office job once he's done coaching or someone who takes the majority of decision making from Jordan.

So I assume Dampier will be waived? If so... we have no quality player at the 5. We will only save 5MM while taking on 7-8MM in cap for 2011. Bobcats FO = FAIL

I OFFICIAL have no hope for our GM/Owner. The trade with Dallas... We gave up an expiring Chandler and Lexy for 3 Scrubs w/ terrible contracts!!! Really MJ? Really? Perpare to continue losing money in the Franchise!

What were you expecting your avatar to pan out?

No matter how you look at it...this franchise is turning the corner. Season ticket holders are up, sponsorships are up, and most importantly product on the floor is up.

Honestly, I would have given us a -1 if the Toronto deal went through. We would have had alot more problems than we have now. And we would've helped a team close to us in the conference get better while we seemingly would have gotten worse.

But this Dallas deal doesnt hurt us. Declining contracts on Najera, and Carroll, plus a nice piece of bait/or space depending on how the Dampier contract works out. Alexis is a scrub, and better to cut our loss with that now. He was a bust, and I chalk that up to Larry being excited to return to coaching, and wanting to mold some raw talent.

This front office has done a nice job the last year. Getting rid of EO's inflated contract, signing Flip, trading for Jack, Hughes, Theo, TT were all good moves...that obviously guided us to where we wanted to go.

The one thing I have confidence in is that this group will address the issues on hand. Right now it appears to be Center and PG. The Damp contract might not be enough to answer both, but I have faith with as many moves as weve made in the past 2 seasons...we will be straight come Oct.

I completely disagree with every single word of your post.

Good post.

My avatar notwithstanding, I do think they did better last year than they ever have before (LB's influence...no doubts about it), but it's hard not to have concerns with this year.

Until it's all played out it's hard to judge one way or the other.
