    Default News you can use

    Ran acrosss this article tonight. Very interesting stuff. Talks about Ajinca and how he had a great workout in Charlotte. Talks about how Randolph is kinda screwing up and looking out of shape. Really good read and it applies to us, so enjoy.

    Here's another one. Man, he is going off on Randolph in this one. I dont pretend to understand all his PER mumbo jumbo, but if you do, and it makes sense, then it doesn't look good for Randolph. **And props to Jermareo for getting mentioned in the article!!! And no Dudley?

    Like I said, I dont understand these numbers. Oh, well, bad job Jermareo. Then again, I'm not so sure being drafted in the middle of the 2nd has such high expectations.

    In the other thread I mentioned that "Hollinger pegged Duds", but I should mention I didn't read that in this article. A guy on RealGM listed them from last year:

    In looking over the article from a year ago, he seems to take this years version more seriously, but I think that's because there were only really 3 things that you could learn from it. I really look forward to seeing Monday's article.

    Here is another mentioning of Crash being openly marketed. Dont know if it has been posted before somewhere else on the Boards. If so, I apologize for being redundant.

    So, we would be moving Crash for Josh Howard, and moving back from #9 to #15. I dont know enough about Howard's skill set to know if this is something which would benefit the Bobcats. For those of you who do know much more about Howard's game, would we be better with Josh Howard vs Crash? Enough to warrant moving back 6 spots? We could grab Ajinca, JJ Hickson or Hibbard there without it being a big reach. Give me some imput on Howard guys.

    I linked it on the Mock Draft Thread also, but it belongs here, too. Dont see this kid getting drafted in the 1st round now. He would have last year had he not pulled out. Too bad. Hope he gets good medical advice, and if he needs to stop playing, listen to the doctors. Dont need anything else like Hank Gathers or what happened to the Boston Celtics with I think it was Reggie Lewis?

    I wouldn't trade Crash for Howard stright up, let alone move backwards in the draft to do so.

    I was wondering why Chad Ford put that trade out there. I thought I was missing something about Howard that made him more special than I was thinking. Guess he just likes the idea of screwing us over.
