When we become a contender...

So I have been thinking about the rebuild and I have decided we should aim to be competitive in the 2014-5 season. By then Biz will have had 3 years in the league and should be touching his potential. MKG will have had some time, Diop and Matty C will be long gone. We will have our draft picks from Portland next year (maybe detroit) and our own in 2012 depending on how we finish. Then finally we will have this free agent pool to attack

Potential 2014 free agent class: LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Melo, Dirk, Amar’e, Bosh, Pierce, Granger, Deng, Gay & Pau Gasol. GM's are ready.

we can make Charlotte an attractive destination for any free agents. All we have to do is show the potential to contend, much like the timberwolves have done this offseason.

I Like the way you think. However, if everything goes like you said it'll go, I don't think we should sign a player from the caliber of those above. I believe we should think like the Thunder and the Spurs and try to sign players who seem compatible with the style we like to play, instead of looking at the Heat from who I believe are just looking at the free agent rankings and hoping they're able to sign the player who is at the top of it.

The free agent class will be even better when you consider that there are guys we don't know are great playing on rookie contracts and stuff.

[Talent]

I think the only real talent that Charlotte can attract is players that are a step below the top tier. That is not a bad thing as you can go far with a team with no real mega stars. I think the Thunder started a good healthy trend with drafting talent. It will change the league a few years from now if it works for Charlotte too.

If we get a set up which has the potential to win a title someone will sign. If a star see's our team and thinks " if they add me then were going to be hard to stop" then we have every chance

Maybe not the main guy but the 2nd or third option on offense, sure!
