Brown: May Done

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

I am ashamed of Sean May. A professional basketball player who isn't in shape, in't ready to play and is basically living off NBA welfare.

I'm a Caroling grad and saw May play in college. While I obviously pull for him, I'm equally disgusted by his lack of competiveness. I don't know the details of his injury and rehab, but I do feel that he did not try hard enough in the offseason and while injured, to mantain a good weight and exercise. He is professional athlete and it is his job to add value to the team. He knew that our team would rely on him and he would be a key determinant on our team's success. I would go as far as labeling his attitude as careless and negligent. He has not stepped up to the plate when needed and I'm very dissapointed.

My "release his ass" comment was just a rant. I don't know the cap ramifications. I don't know what it accomplishes. I just hate him for being fat and lazy and wasting potential. I have never liked his attitude, he's happy to be in his super cool faded jeans and untucked button up with his sportscoat, at the end of the bench, being the best cheerleader he can be. Eating Bojangles and Krispie Kream because lets face it, that stuff is good. I eat it, I'm fat, out of shape, couldn't run the court 4 straight times let alone jump and try for a rebound, but damn I'm not a pro-basketball player.

There is no trade to be made. Unless it involves Raymond, which I don't think Larry is ready to give up on him, he's in a contract year, no team wants that. The NBA has gotten so funny about transactions and things that make sense don't seem to work out, especially for the Bobcats.

So we have basically 4 guys that are untouchable in the trade market: Okafor, J-Rich, Carroll and Nazr. Those guys have "bad" contracts. I don't think bad for the Bobcats but sort of untradeable. Agreed? We have a handful of unknowns/guys no one really would want to trade for: Hollins, Davidson, Ajinca, Shannon Brown, May and Morrison. May and Morrison are big time injury/mental case question marks. Hollins, Davidson and Brown are athletic talents (loosely phrased) that seem destined for D-League. Ajinca, young, thin, French, done nothing so far. Larry seems to be the only person other than his mom who really likes this kid. Can we agree on these? Dudley, I love, I think he's getting some burn but it'd be a special situation for him to fit in a trade. DJ, Felton, I really don't think anyone on the team wants to get rid of either one without knowing who is better and as stated Felton is in a funny situation. Anyone who would really want him could just wait and offer him more than they think the bobcats would want to pay him in the off season. That leaves Gerald, who I think is awesome, best player on the team. I would have to get Boozer or someone better back for Wallace. It just won't happen for us. There is no one out there to fill our big giant hole, made wider by an ever widening Sean May.

we could probably get boozer for wallace. the jazz could use a tough athletic player like wallace. the only thing about boozer is that he is in a contract year and we would have to make sure he wanted to stay. if not we gave up crash for a 1 year flier.

the line up would be
felton
swish
dud
boozer
oak

Let me start my Sean May rant: There's nothing worse in life than wasted potential. I think the earlier "nba welfare" comment describes McMay perfectly, as he is just stealing money. Nobody owes him anything, and I am sure that almost every one of us working in the "real world" would trade abilities with him to maximize his fat-ass potential. Damn, I would be an all star with his abilities because you can be sure I would be in great shape. It just pisses me off that he could actually be a good power forward in the league if he would get his fat ass in shape and do his actual job.

I am a big unc fan, but has disappointed me for the last time, and maybe it would send a positve message to the rest of the team if LB did cut his fat ass or send him to the D-league and make him make a minimum weight before he can get back on the active roster. I remember Pat Riley doing something like that with Antoine Walker a couple years ago with the heat. Just thinking about may's fat ass finally getting a peice of humble pie brings a smile to my face. I also know for a fact that he likes to get his drink on about every weekend at the Forum in uptown. I'm all for having a good time, but not at the expense of a job any average guy would kill to have. I feel much better now.

Pity you didn't show the game against the Raps when Bosh scored about 5,000 points on him in about 17 seconds.


(seriously though, that move he puts on the Pacers around the 3min mark was sweeeeeetttttttttttttt!!!)

The one thing that pisses me off the most about May is the fact that if he actually tried and realized his potential, then we would.... get ready....... be a playoff team. A borderline top level playoff team.

He is exactly the player we need to make it to the next level as a franchise. That alone should be motivation enough for him to get in shape and play like he should.

I don't have any sympathy for him. He's nothing but a fat, lazy slob that doesn't even deserve to be in the NBA. He's a grown ass man that should do his damn job or get fired. Plain and simple. LB shouldn't have to waste his time pushing him to get in shape. May is a nobody to me.

[Felton for Prez]

The amazing thing is he actually looked agile and aggressive in the video. Nice job.

A couple of general comments about the May situation. Based on LB's comments, we're obviously not dealing May now. No one will touch him today after those comments. However, he still could have value at the trade deadline, so there is no way he gets cut. Someone out of theplayoffs could take a flyer on him on the hopes they get him in shape for next season. I'm not saying that's a good idea, I am just saying he could have value.

The thing that scares me most about this motivational approach is injury. May has now been publicly humiliated, which he deserves. What is the end goal? To get him to work harder? Probably. I don't know about you guys, but I've tried to get back in shape a few times and when I get embarrassed for being a fat a**, I push that much harder and end up with shin splints or a bum knee. Given his surgery and his history, I worry he does the same and we lose 5 fouls a game.
