Bobcats media day

No surprises with #Bobcats training camp roster. 18 guys. Includes non-guranteed deals for Miles, Crittenton, Collins and Matt Rogers

Rogers is a 6-11 rookie from Southwest Baptist University

Came around the corner and saw ex-Hawks coach Mike Woodson, old buddy of Larry Brown

Interesting Larry Brown today. Says "I died" when Felton left. Says things he likes his centers to do "will be difficult" for current group

Brown upset trade talk became public, but thinks Diaw will be able to handle it. Wouldn't directly answer if thought team is worse off

Brown says "challenge is much greater" in East after other teams got better

Nazr Mohammed on LB line that it's difficult for centers on roster to do what he likes. "This is my 13th year. I am what I am"

Collins is non-guaranteed? I didn't know that.

mikecranston1 DJ Augstin says he hasn't talked to Rod Higgins or Michael Jordan about any possible trades. "I'm not even going to listen to it"

mikecranston1 Jack suggested last month's home invasion sounds fishy "There's been no proof of anyone breaking in. My attitude is it didn't happen"

mikecranston1 Jack says was going through divorce at the time. "I just thank God that she's OK if it did happen"

mikecranston1 Jack says he's gained 5 pounds in offseason instead of losing weight as LB wanted. But said he'll lose 10 pounds in training camp

mikecranston1 Typical Boris Diaw hardly concerned about nearly traded twice this summer "If you don't have control over it, why would you worry about it?

wait... what!!!!! jax thinks the home invasion is made up? wow!!!

and he talked all summer about losing 10-15 lbs but instead comes to camp 5 lbs heavier. he now needs to lose 15, not 10.

lb sounds like a bitter jackass sometimes. something tells me he is going to be annoying this year.

he dj... the bobcats tried to bring in calderon, paul and harris over the summer. they maybe tried to trade you new orleans or new jersey this summer. the coach just said "he died" when felton left. so, what does that tell you about their confidence in you?

mikecranston1 LB's outlook : "Challenge is much, much greater than last year based on who we had, who we lost and we got and what's gone on in our league"

From what I read; good defense, outside range, good character (majored in Religious Studies so that's a given).

I will call him Brown anyway (legacy of Anthony Brown appearing from nowhere, making the team and dissapearing again). How many Browns connected to Bobcats we have already had? (2 caoches, Shannon, Anthony, Derrick, now Kwame, did I mis somebody)?

I'm telling you, Larry Brown doesn't really want to be here. He was beyond grumpy when he was here for the pre-draft workouts, and he's arrived at this promising shiny media day, when "every team is undefeated :smile:" , in a VERY LOUSEY MOOD :naaa:

He doesn't need permission to go home to his hot babe in Philly. Hell, if he doesn't want to coach, JUST GO! I hope he will give it his all this season (I predict his last one way or another) since it's a little late to start over.

PS - Jax showing up overweight is not good. I guess the divorce is driving him to late night snacking. Well, I'd say between these developments and the uncertainty surrounding the trade situation, we might be looking at another stumbling start for our team.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

mikecranston1 LB says first example in video describing crackdown on demonstrative actions was Jack flailing his arms. Jack insists he won't become 'Sheed

LB wishes #Bobcats had camp in Chapel Hill instead of Wilmington so Dean Smith could more easily attend practice. Might still show at UNCW
