Damn I was hoping he would slip through, so the Heat would have a shot at him.

The Bobcats are trying to win some games this year. I think they'll be a top 20 team.

Makes sense. Will by all accounts take three+ years until Bobcats get significantly better and Haywood fills 15-20min and adds toughness.

:lol:

So the starting lineup will be:
Kemba
Hendo
MKG
Biyombo
Haywood

Correct me if I'm wrong, Bobcats fans.

As of today, the Bobcats have a better roster than the Sixers. They can make it.

Nice pickup. Doesn't look like DeSagana Diop is going to recover from his injuries and general suckiness so we needed a bruiser to suck up minutes down low.

Ben Gordon is their starting SG

bobcats fans should be happy, they have a bright future. im a big fan of kemba, mkg, and jeff tsylor. biyombos turning into a nice player, shooting off the bench with ben gordon, inside presence in brendan haywood, and a coach who is changing the culture. hendo and sessions nice players as well. mj finally seems to be making the right moves. now they need to amnesty tyrus thomas

I still think Mullens and Biyombo start with Haywood as depth.

Diop won't play a single minute next year with the SSOL offense the Bobcats installed. He is so out of shape

No, he's not. No starting position is set in stone yet. More than likely that Henderson will start with Gordon coming off the bench. Gordon + Kemba isn't a great combination.

Good for the Bobcats. Looking like a decent team. Mix of young talent and vets.

If the Bobcats win the bid on Scola, they might actually have a pretty decent team next season.
