Who are the 'Cats inviting to camp?

Re: Training Camp Thread
Guys, just listen to scoop on the radio. He talked about how he had his first meeting with mj in his house. He said that he will be heading to the cats d league for the first two months before joining the cats in January. Its obvious that he won't have to be good enough to be a cat. Disgusted!
The curse of Higgins!

he is the son of our assistant coach brian winters. he seems to meet the qualifications for a training camp invite.

Difference is he actually looks like a pretty good ball player looking at stats alone, nice size too.
Am I just subconsciously talking myself into him?

He's also very tall for an 8 year-old.

Not that this is a revelation, but Cory Higgins will be back in #Bobcats camp,competing to be the 3rd point guard.

Re: Training Camp Thread
So many better and more useful players out there. Higgins and Jardine. Cho should be embarrassed.
MJ proving that he still doesn't get it. They are sh*****g on the fans of this team, that's how I feel.

Stop blaming everything on Jordan. Sound like an old woman.
We need to tank for another year anyway. Jordan has no say so over decisions these days.

Honestly, can't Ben Gordon just be our third point guard? Let's sign a big, not a point guard, a young-ish guy who is trying to make a name for himself. Fesenko, Yi, Ivan Johnson could be better options.
But if they really want a third string PG, why not take a chance on Jonny Flynn? I kind of lost track of what happened to him after his hip surgery, but he's got to be better than Higgins, right? His 2k11 rating needs to make some kind of sense.

investigate Adam Silver

I think that you guys are quiveling for nothing. We haven't even seen the training camp list yet. You are relying on rumours in the media which are wrong more than they are right.

I guarantee you Higgins is on the training camp roster. I'd bet you about three hundred dollars.

This is what rod higgins had to endure from mj according to the espn writer. Forcing him to sign his own son. Unbelievable!
The curse of Higgins!
