i dont blame MrKIA for being pissed. why should their fans waste money and time following this team over the next 2 years? have have absolutely zero intentions of trying to win any time soon. why not just forfeit the season and save everyone time and money.

true but we've had 10x the seasons of crap that Philly has and how many of us became Laker fans etc.

The Bobcats only been around for 10 years. I've suffered over 10 years with that organization. Even when we had Iverson, we did a bad job of building a team around him

Because we drafted him!

lol oh ok. Did we get a second rounder with the Napier Hairston deal?

We got 2 and traded one to drop Haywood's corpse.

you're right, we've only suffered for 90 percent of this franchises existence, not enough.

We should have all just decided to support OKC after they moved from Seattle.

Has any team every built a team around a PG not named Magic Johnson? Come on now. Your team is just fine, straighten up.

nope we traded Christon as well.

Did we do the Miami trade just to give Hairston a smaller contract?

I gave him a 'A'. This was a excellent draft for the Hornets

I give him a A- because of the VONLEH over PAYNE, but he showed Genius in this draft.

oh come on, Vonleh is way better than Payne

I am not sure about that. I like PAYNES versatility, energy and all around game. He can play 3 positions. But I do like the fact that they are similar. Overall I like the VONLEH pick. I just woulda rather had PAYNE but I TOTALLY understand the pick and I am not that upset if at al. Overall I like the pick just wanted PAYNE a little bit more. This is not like the MKG or ZELLER picks where I was really upset we took them hahaha. This pick I like.

I'm far from a bandwagoner. Otherwise, I'd be a Heat or Spurs fan right now. It's easy to ride the wave of what you know will win. I follow my heart, and my heart isn't with the Sixers anymore. I'm more emotionally vested in the Bobcats/Hornets, and it's been that way for the past couple of years. Today was the last straw for the former

I like it, think we're definitely looking to trade Zeller or Biyombo.

kemba, free agent, christon
free agent, neal, hairston
mkg, free agent, taylor
mcroberts, zeller, vonleh
jefferson, biz

*hendo traded

I think we'll only add 1 wing to the roster in free agency, but otherwise I agree. We will have 13 players signed with two open spots.

Just watching a presser on Raptors TV and it's Masai Ujiri facing them and being GRILLED by the press about the Bruno Caboclo pick.

It's SUPER awkward and uncomfortable.

It's awesome.

I'm still laughing.

Oh man, you haven't seen anything yet.

I hope this presser ends up on YouTube. If it does, I will post it here.

You're laughing now? Watch this presser. You'll p*ss your pants.

Here is one quote, as Ujiri was squirming and not making eye contact with anyone:

"Well, I guess I'm not here to be popular"....

If we keep Hendo we'll only need 1. But if we trade him I think 2 wing additions would be good.

Apparently Christon is coming to OKC....don't know for what.

mrknowitall215 · Post #475 » by **mrknowitall215** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:26 am

I don't think Jeff Taylor make the final cut of the 15-man roster when it's all said & done

UNCNYC · Post #476 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:27 am

Oh Ok so that means we traded the DWIGHT POWELL PICK?

For injury insurance that might be best
