It would be almost fitting if we released Gordon after the deadline so he couldn't play on a playoff team only to watch us fall out of the playoffs the way how karma works. That's why I never do spiteful actions. Dear basketball gods, please don't curse us with the Ben Gordon Curse. There's good fans like me that don't deserve it.

LOL, you're implying we did something wrong. Ben Gordon **** up his own chances of signing with a championship team by not agreeing to a buyout. No buyout was agreed upon by the deadline and we weren't planning on keeping him so we waived his bum ass.

I am sick of Ben Gordon, I am sick of us actting like we did anything wrong. Ben Gordon can kick rocks and he did everything to stale his buy out. if he gave a damn about being on a playoff roster he would have accepted the buy out a week ago. its not like Ben Gordon didnt know about the playoff roster deadline date. Ben Gordon was a selfish dick of a player that just so happen to get what he had coming by no fault of the bobcats. if that hurts us with future FA so be it.

I'd be happy to see him retire a Hornet next year.

I'd sign Jamison to a 1yr contract next season, the least he can do is be a good mentor and shoot some threes

Let's just get a DPE for Taylor and sign Jamison for the rest of the season (though Hamilton's contract is only ten days).

Jamison might as well try to be a assistant coach than a player for our team. I guess trying to be a player pays more tho.

OT: I hadn't realized how much of the 04 draft class had been Bobcats.

2. Okafor
3. Humbled
4. Liv
15. Big Al
46. Bernard Robinson

Could be missing more.

More OT: Rookie Pedro Antic went undrafted that year. His holdout lasted from our inaugural draft to our last damn season :lol:

Don't need a DPE. Just sign him for the minimum

It'd be for the roster spot, but then again Hamilton expires in nine days.
