"I didn't think we were going to set the record for the poorest win percentage in history," says Cho, 46. "I take full responsibility for that."

Cho hasn't spent a lot of time during the past 12 months playing his second-favorite sport. There is too much work to be done with the Bobcats, who contacted Cho the day after his 11-month reign with the Blazers ended ignominiously.

In Charlotte, Cho says, "we're trying to build it similar to how we built it in Seattle/OKC."

Higgins and Cho share front-office duties. Though he is too modest to admit it, Cho is the point man on virtually everything, including the draft, free agency, putting together a summer-league team and the hiring of a coach.

Jordan has backed away from day-to-day responsibilities, and gives Cho autonomy to make decisions.

"It's been terrific to work with Michael," he says. "He is very supportive. He has taken a step back, but we always keep him informed. When he is in town, we always talk."

“We’ll look to keep him as a free agent, if the price is right,” Cho says.

Cho has revamped Charlotte's scouting system, putting together "the most advanced database I've seen," he says. "It's an eyes, ears and numbers approach. It was something we were going to do in Portland, but didn't have enough time."

Charlotte is committed to about $43 million in salary for the upcoming season, including Corey Maggette ($10.9 million), Tyrus Thomas ($8 million) and DeSagna Diop ($7.37 million).

Wonder if he had that system in place in time for last draft leading them to Kemba and Biz or if this will be the 1st time he is rolling it out?
