FA signing: Vinsanity!! --according to Simmons

[Chef]

from his Grantland column:
6. Charlotte

Status: $5.94 million under the cap ($13 million including DeSagana Diop's amnesty)
Current 2-guards: Gerald Henderson, Matt Carroll, Michael Jordan

Notes: Would the Bobcats make the playoffs with Afflalo, Corey Maggette, D,J, Augustin, Boris Diaw, Ty Thomas, Kemba Walker and (Marv Albert voice) "Bis-mack Bee-YOMMMMM-bo!!!!!"? Of course not. Are you crazy? Here's your logical home for Vince Carter: He could sign for more than he deserves, go home to Carolina and be a major part of yet another disappointing Bobcats season. More on this in a second.

i like simmons and i think he knows a hellauva lot about the league, but he is way off here. no way we sign vince. makes zero sense and he isn't even liked a whole lot here anyway.

No No No No Just NO

Simmons is a douche towards the Bobcats for whatever reason. I tend to only read his stuff if it's about other sports or teams.

i am anxiously awaiting when he and other writers are forced to take us seriously enough to at least watch us play a few times. all we need is ONE GREAT DRAFT PICK. Just one. One superstar. Please, one superstar. and then maybe i can watch the cats on my beautiful high def tv instead of squinting and a blurry, off and on illegal chinese video stream by some guy named justintv (if the government hasn't seized that one too...terrorists setting their crotch on fire on a plane whoops missed that one, but don't worry we got all the pirating websites off the internet). but i digress.

No way in hell we sign Vince.

Cho is not that stupid.

[Toocool]

Vince? When he'll be in front of Hendo when Jordan clearly stated that he has high expectations on Hendo and thinks he can be an all-star caliber player?
Won't happen.

[ChuckHayes69]

It's not often I think a Bobcats player is actually underrated (except early Gerald), but in this same article Simmons vastly underrates Hendo. His list of SG ratings goes pretty deep and didn't have him anywhere. I understand why he wouldn't have had him in the up and comers yet but he should be up there somewhere and he is definitely a reason we shouldn't even think about signing Carter.

Simmons ask yourself one question. Apart from whats good for VC. Why would the Bobcats ever want him?
