You weren't taking about what we had done, you were talking about Thomas being can't miss when it comes to drafting, which is obviously isn't.

You don't know Isiah is the best drafter? I have to argue this? It's well known league wide you know

KP says hi.


I would take Joe Dumars over anybody else in the league. Period. He can draft AND do a good job of making trades/bringing in FA's. A lot of people here in Michigan were upset over the Billups trade (like Bobcats fans were when they traded Richardson) but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are starting to like it... Stuckey is amazing.

If this team ever truly participated in the free agent market, Alexis wouldn't seem like such a questionable pick.

I wanted the Bobcats to take Ryan Anderson, mostly because of his offensive skill. Or Kosta Koufos. There is no point in taking Chalmers because DJ was already picked and how do you know at 9 that there will be a decent PG available later in the draft?

Im not upset about DJ at 9. It was our best pick in draft history besides the extension draft getting Wallace. I don't like Lex at 20.

Joe Dumars picked Darko lets not forget. He is a good drafter but Isiah he is not.
KP is also a great drafter but like Joe Dumars He has a job already.

Isiah Thomas doesn't and we should hire him as a SCOUT ONLY not a gm so lets not have the gm arguements here because that is a different topic. If I were to list all of Isiahs picks and compare them to anybody else's they would be better.

Ryan Anderson would have been real nice by the way at 20 but Batum would have made a ton of sence. Maybe they can trade for him and collect french players.

At that stage we had Swish, Crash, Ammo, Dude and Hammer all fighting for PT at the wings.

How would have drafting Batum of made a ton of sense?

Yes I'm tired of all that drama when we actively traded for the pick to draft Ajinça. We were traded to get him, not just to wait who would slip. It wouldn't take much time to bother to know this and actually take care to do some research about him. Than I would accept and respect your arguments. But since you didn't care why should I, Dexmor the Mole?

Darko at 2, Rodney White at 9 (over Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson), and Mateen Cleaves at 14 in their respective drafts. Joe is better at finding players in the middle of the draft, rather then early on.

Good observation on Dumars.

Few questions what the hell is a mole? What does that mean?
I had one question about Lex so I made this post. What research was I sopposed to do? This is a message board so I figured you guys would know so I asked. You are the Bobcats fans and what better way to do research then to just ask you guys. It's not like trasearching a medical condition were I should have looked up everythig I can. I just wanted to know if you guys knew.
I didn't say fire Brown or make 100 posts. I just said why pick him? Better guys were there and people agreed. You don't agree? It is not that serious were you should be pissed at me. You need to relax a little bit on me here for this. Is it really a problem to ask a Bobcat question on the bobcats board? Is Lex so obviously a sure thing great prospect center that me saying he was a bad pick is just plain ignorant?
I think it was a bad pick and I hope I am wrong but I don't see why I can't say it without insults being thrown my way.


Yes we have wings but Batum is a sg and we didn't have a good backup 2. He can also play the 3 and we know Morrison was no sure thing and Wallace is always on the block. Getting Batum would make alot of sence.

Oh yeah I know LB hates Isiah but i think he would except him as a scout or we don't have to tell him and he can be a private consultant
