He should be able to get them going in the right direction before someone else takes over 2-3 seasons from now.

Good signing.

Wow, great call, someone who can harness Okafor.

Be prepared to trade a lot of your young guys for bad-mediocre veteran players .

Dang they're gonna be good now. Good athletic team with a shot blocker in Okafor, imagine the defense.

I wonder how Adam Morrison will pan out.

Great hire. But Brown probably could have found much better 'ready to win now' situations had he just waited for the first round of the playoff to finish.

And expect your pick to be traded already regardless where you pick .

Ehh you never know, if anyone can get Brown to defer, I think it would be Jordan.

Coach Brown is a source of laughter after his performance with the Knicks and the way he leaves his teams, but he is still a great coach. Emeka will love playing for Brown, and if he can

I dunno about that point guard statement. Yes Billups blossomed under him, but he didn't become a great passer until Flip came on board. I think Felton will become a much better defender and learn to control a team better, but I don't think his passing and turnover stats will reflect that.

Well Billups wasn't even a good player really until Brown, he got Iverson an MVP.... Brown can develop a willing PG into a great player.

I'm also intrigued to see what happens with Adam Morrison.

Yeah I was just saying like definitive point guard like CP3 or D Williams isn't what you get from Brown. His offense is so slow, that just won't happen. Iverson and Billups didn't average great assists under Brown. But I do expect a career year out of Felton, and same with Okafor. But I don't expect Morrison, or your draft pick to play a lot.

My draft pick eh? lol.

You are right though, he won't be a huge assist guy, but I don't think that is Felton's game anyway, he would be best as an aggressive attacker with his athletic ability, and getting assists on dribble penetration

That team has some nice talent, I think they would look great with Kevin Love up front with Okafor, some nice outlet passes to that athletic back court.

I was just referring to all Bobcats fans...

They just need a center to take some of the offensive pressure off of Okafor. This team is really similar to Detroit in its make up in 04. Felton is similar to Billups. J-Rich and Hamilton provide different ways to get their offense, but they are both good at what they do. Wallace and Prince provide the intangibles. Okafor and Ben Wallace. Now they just need their Rasheed and a better bench.
