I told the bobcats fans what they ought to do & they didn't want to hear it. They suck a draft & developing talent. Henderson should be on the list this summer though. Could be the next Aaron Afflalo.


He wasn't comparing us to the bobcats, and it's not just from watching that game that you can tell kanter is going to be good. Also the bobcat fans have no say in what the actual organization does...

Not exactly true, our dollars do in fact talk. I would expect Cho to offer Al Jefferson the max this summer. At the last meeting with season ticket holders they raked him over the coals for not getting a "star" player. They need a big guy... and the best healthy big man available this summer with be Jefferson.

He'll at least attempt it for the sake of publicity even if the stars don't want to come. I suggested swapping Ben Gordon and Ty Thomas for Amare & Copeland. That risky trade looks better every day.

Ok I'll rephrase. The fans have little say in what the organization does, at the end of the day they are still going to do what they want to do, not what the fans tell them to do. If front offices took demands from fans, Al and Paul would have been traded

I understand the argument that we're a small market, that makes things hard etc.

But saying "at least we're not the Kings / Wizards / Bobcats" is loser talk. If you're happy just not being the worst, great. I just think fans are entitled to expect more.

We're the best franchise to never win a championship. To some thats an accomplishment, to others that a failure. Just depends on your personality I guess.
