Didn't watch the video, as I don't really care.

However, I think it's way too soon to say if Jordan can run a team or not. Remember, when he took over, we were a team on the brink of playoff contention. He was trying to make it work with the pieces we had by changing out some. Clearly, there were missteps, but it was not a strategy that was likely to work given the talent that we had. He's realized that now and dropped the bomb on this team, trading away everybody to save money and acquire youth and picks. I think at minimum, we need to see what we look like in three years. We really don't have much of an indication until then.

1. How can an owner be fired?
2. They'll change their tune as soon as something good happens.

I just saw this on tv and these people are a bunch of clowns.

1. Tyson Chandler was not good here. He needs superstars. We did better when he was injured.

2. A lot of teams would like Walker, Henderson, and Biyombo. That one clown thought he would be funny by ripping on Biyombo's name. The kid is 19 showing a terrific attitude to go with his raw talent.

3. The Bobcats are tanking and developing young talent. Doesn't anybody get this??

4. Two years ago they were in the playoffs. We are starting over.

5. Just about every team would have liked Adam Morrison as a lottery pick.

That video is terrible who the hell thinks Isaiah Thomas is a better GM than MJ.... whose seen Adam Morrison, who the hells seen Sprewell and Marburry..

I couldnt watch the video, but I probably wouldnt have any way as Jemele Hill is tagged in the video and she is the worst thing that ever slithered into ESPN. Judging by the people they have talking on that panel, I wouldn't piss on the desk if they were on fire. So before we even begin, this conversation is over because she nullifies any worthwhile substance we could talk about.

The fact of the matter is that this wouldnt even be on ESPN first take if it was your average millionaire owner. Donald Sterling has owned the Clippers for ever, and despite a pretty decent team right now...still to this day hasn't won anything. He just happens to own a team in the biggest city in America and gets the people who can't afford Laker tickets. Who owns the Wolves? Who owns the Grizzlies? you probably don't know without Google, and even if you did know, they aren't getting any runtime on ESPN first take and having their jobs questioned on tv because of their terrible records. So the argument is stupid. Are the Bobcats bad right now, yes. Should Jordan be fired..... no. Is it super easy to look at the Bobcats record, then realize how much saying the word Jordan increases their ratings? hell yes it is.

It's been discussed a million times, but as an owner Jordan has done very few things that someone else in his shoes would not have done. Its just the plain and simple truth. You can cry and whine about Gerald Wallace all day long, but get back to me when Portland is quickly shuffled out of the playoffs. It still blows my mind that any fan would want the front office to shoot for mediocrity.

Jemele Hill has 2 patterns she bases everything she writes or talks about on. 1. Play the race card quick and heavy. and if that don't sell.... 2. Pick the easiest target you can find and shit all over it. She sucks and is the exact reason ESPN is the cesspool of talking heads it has become.

If you go to ESPN for Bobcats analysis... you will never be happy. As far as they are concerned, there are only 4 cities in the country that matter, pander to them and shit on the rest. Its what they do, play to the highest demographic. Business wise it obviously works, analytically its total bunk horseshit.

and by the way bes, i realize how tough it must be to go out on an edge and bash a 3 and 25 team, but I just got the video to work and there isn't a smattering of truth to anything those 3 idiots uttered.

I think they are very truthful, and I don't even watch ESPN or like talking heads like that. Even still, thats our public perception right now. That video.

Absolutely. I saw this on teevee as I was getting ready to go to work and I just went slack-jawed at the bullshit spilling out these peoples mouths. And then I realized, 'Oh, yeah, ESPN.' The premise of the question itself is moronic (like Swedd says about firing owners...WTF?!?), but how about getting an informed panel to ask the question to. Football fucktards and a guy whose world revolves around Miami. I mean, come on, ESPN; I've learned over the years that you're not better than this but at least act like you give a shit.

And yeah, I don't expect professionalism or insight from anyone who appears on that tabloid fluff show (Stepen A. Smith and Skip Bayless are regulars...that says it all) but the guy making fun of Biyombo's name (again, uninformed) crossed the line of stupidity. Instead of explaining why no one in the NBA would want Biz (back to that insight thing) let's all yuk it up like the sit-com stars we aren't.

In case you couldn't tell this irked me most of the day yesterday and was contemplating an email to the show but I don't think they'd get it. Thankfully karma stepped in as I saw the following scroll across BottomLine last night many times:

Biyombo 8pts, 13 rebs, 7 blks.

I actually like Michael Smith, but he doesn't understand. He got so worked up over the fact that MJ is the "ultimate competitor" yet can't win as a GM. Its for that reason that he couldn't, his past decisions of making impulse decisions to win now have cost our long term future. Smith neglected the fact the team has blown itself up to win later on.

And Jemele Hill, well she thinks Jordan Brand is causing people to kill each other so no more needs to be said.
