OT: Introducing Myself

Dexmor · Post #1 » by **Dexmor** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 2:43 pm

I have been on boards for about 6-8 years now. I am a Laker fan and A Bobcats fan. Lakers are my first team and the team I have been rooting for since the arrival of Kobe Bryant. I am originally from NY but I have been in Raleigh for 8 months now and we get Bobcats games. I love NC and hope to stay here for life so I have decided to be a Bobcats fan to. I was always a Tar Heels fan so I am a Ray Felton fan which is why I want him traded asap because I know he is not gonna be around long term and the longer they wait the harder it is gonna be to see him go.
I see there is not alot of people on this teams board so I just figure I would give myself a little intro and people may wonder who is this guy all of a sudden.
My favorite Cat is DJ although I don't think he is good enough to be the 1 star-superstar that every team has and needs. I think he is good enough though to be the second guy which is saying alot in this league. These days second guys are Gasol, Parker, Jamison, Aldridge, or eventually Roy when Oden wakes up, and so on.
Okufor I like alot but I am not sure he is ever gonna be more then what he is and that is really just that hustle frontcourt player you need. The Rodman-Grant of the Bulls or a better version of Oakley.
If he can become a solid 17 point a game scorer though that all changes.

As for Wallace I am not to keen on the idea of trading him but not against it either because the Cats need a guy who they can just throw the ball to and get out of his way. That won't be Wallace but he can't really get us that guy either.

On this trade I think Bell needs to go only because Brown is the coach and will play him to much when he is just a backup but Diaw is not bad but at the same time having Diaw and Wallace along with Okufor is a little small up front and were already small in the backcourt.

I believe drafting DJ was a step in the right direction although one more Adam Morrison draft and we offically need new management.

So there it is, who I am and what my thoughts on the team are.
Anybody from Raleigh here?

Hey Walt, were in Raleigh do u live?

That list is so sad. No wins. It's such a shame. Never talking about rivalries or playoffs or anything promising really. Jason Richardson was the happiest? We need to win the lotto this year. We need the first pick and then to get MJ and LB on vacation til the draft is over.
Sean Williams? What the hell were u guys thinking?

I live OTB between Capital and New Bern.

I was strongly onboard of the "Okafor is struggling because of Vincent" bandwaggon. Others were afraid that Okafor had somehow lost a step and wasn't giving effort because he didn't want to be in Charlotte. One of them was super annoying, but played my life pretty badly when he referred to me as Walt Clownkite. The Felton fanboys will tell you it's their guy, but Emeka has been the most consistently under-appreciated player since they've both been Bobcats. There have been more posts about Felton than any other player BY FAR, but that's added to his notoriety (I will say though, he, like most Bobcats are underrated by the average RealGM poster...this is getting better though.)

I personally love Felton but it's clear he is gonna have to go unless he would be willing to settle for a backup role but I don't see it. He would have to except the midlevel and he can get better plus we need the trading chips.
It's Wallace who should be taken off the block and the rumors should die down on unless they can get an RJ for him which from the rumors a while back on MJ passed on him which was so stupid. RJ and DJ with Okufor could be a playoff team.
