    Default Bobcats Don't Have Bright Future With MJ

    http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/418391...&ns=sports-nba
    By dealing away Chandler, Wallace, MJ is showing he values dollars over winning

    You ask, we (try to) answer.

    Q: What is Michael Jordan doing?
    — Ryan, Gastonia, N.C.

    A: Living the reality of running a team where your own money is at stake.

    For a moment, consider how Michael Jordan the player would have reacted if his general manager would have sold off Tyson Chandler for an expiring contract, allowed Raymond Felton to escape in free agency without compensation, then dealt Gerald Wallace for pennies on the dollar.

    But the shoe is on the other foot, and with the Bobcats struggling at the box office, Jordan decided that securing a lower playoff seed was not as important as getting the books in order.

    For all the grief Jerry Krause took while trying to manage Jordan in Chicago, I think Jordan the player would have had far less tolerance for Jordan the owner.

    What has transpired in Charlotte is criminal. And it's not as if the Bobcats weren't trying to unload Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw at the deadline, as well.

    It is difficult to see much of a future for the Bobcats.

    At least with Jordan as the owner.
    I don't know that I'm ready to say the future is completely down the drain, but if something doesn't change, I will be shortly.

    Where is he crying? If anyone is posting crap, its you. All he did was post an excerpt from an article.

    You do know there are more than one ways to rebuild right? And by that, different levels of rebuilding? And even further, good and bad types of rebuilding?


    Right?

    I actually stated after the article that I didn't completely agree with what he was saying, but I do agree with the trades being "criminal." People still can't explain the Mavs trade. WE TRADED AN EXPIRING FOR AN EXPIRING AND TOOK BACK MORE SALARY TO DO IT. LOL that is the most retarded trade in NBA history. But if that's how you like to "rebuild" then have at it!

    We have another article posted in the forum basically tugging MJs junk for the trades. I think the problem here is people have different definitions of rebuilding. I don't consider what MJ did rebuilding, unless you think Pryzbilla, Cunningham, and Marks are solid building blocks for the future. But feel free to ignore my posts if you want.

    This same nonchalant attitude is what opened the door for the Hornets to eventually leave, but keep your blinders on if you want. There's a reason our fanbase sucks for the most part... They aren't passionate and they just don't care.

    Trading your best player away for cap space and late 1st round draft picks isn't rebuilding, its saving money.

    Well, MJ did say he wasn't happy with the 7th or 8th. Trading away your best player for the aforementioned cap space and future Alexis Ajincas will solidly lock us into that 9th spot or lower for awhile. At least we don't have to worry about that pesky 7th or 8th seed anymore.

    I like the Gerald Wallace trade
    I don't like our shitty pointing fingers "fanbase".
    Im scared to death we will end up with no team because the carolinas are a bunch of bandwagon fans and the few "loyals: we have seem to hate the team more than the rest.

    Edit: Charlotte/Carolina fans are always half empty guys... pessimistic as hell.
