Bobcats playoff chances just took a serious hit.

Losing Monta the single biggest blow to this team in years. Could've had our efficient 15 & 10 PG for the next 4-5 years.



There are many posters on here that said the Bobcats would be a playoff team this season.

I don't see it. This solidifies that position. Al Jefferson isn't leading them to the playoffs.



IOk, I have seen no one say the Bobcats are a playoff team though.

Simmons predicted recently that we would trade Butler, Udoh and Giannis for Rudy Gay.

Give me a break. Even if he somehow does put up 15 and 10 for the next 4 years for Dallas (which won't happen) he never would have changed his game like that playing in Milwaukee. Him leaving that 3 year 30 million extension on the table to sign with Dallas for less money was the single biggest break this organization has gotten in years.

Heard that, but it definitely won't happen. As much as I love Simmons, he very rarely proposes balanced, realistic trades unless his Celtics are involved. And usually his Celtic trades skew towards favoring the celts a tad (for obvious reasons)

Eta: in fairness to BS, he has yet to be made fully aware of the NBA-Ready scion of awesomeness that is G-Bo (or as I call him, The Dragon Warrior)

Stealth tank engines are purring... whether they backed in or did it intentionally, I still think this is the season.

Yes :)

With that said, I've always said that I think Monta COULD be one hell of a PG if he were to ever commit to it. He's quick, can make excellent passes but he is just a shoot first chucker. If he actually commits to passing, he may be an asset to the Mavs. But I think within the past year we've heard the "have it all" and "Monta Ball" quotes so I don't suspect once the season is in full swing that he'll be passing first.

Magic leaves ESPN... which is good, but surprised to see Bill Simmons tied to the takedown.

It's not a good show anyway and I don't think Simmons is very good with basketball anymore since he's gone total nerd.

Golden State and the Lakers headed to China

Found this interesting:

Warriors Launch Chinese Website And Weibo Social Media Account

http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/warriors-launch-chinese-website-and-weibo-social-media-account

The Golden State Warriors launched their official Warriors Chinese website (warriors.com/china) and the official Weibo acount (weibo.com/warriors) for the team, it was announced today. The Warriors Chinese website features Warriors content in Chinese with the latest updates on team news, schedules, ticket information, roster updates, community efforts and more. In addition, the Warriors officially launched their Warriors Weibo social media account where Warriors fans throughout China can actively engage with the team and stay up to date on the latest team news and information. The Warriors’ Chinese website launched this week, just before the team leaves for China for the NBA Global Games, where the Warriors will take on the Los Angeles Lakers in Beijing’s MasterCard Center on October 15 and in Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena on October 18. The October 18 game in Shanghai will air on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area at 4:30 a.m. and re-air at 7:30 p.m. that night.

“Continuing to connect with the Asian culture that is such a big part of the Bay Area has always been important to this organization,” said Warriors President and Chief Operating Officer Rick Welts. “With the launch of our Chinese website and being one of the first in the NBA to launch an official Weibo account, we are now able to reach an even broader audience of Warriors fans and provide them with even more rich and compelling content.”

The Warriors’ Chinese website, created and translated by Auerbach International of San Francisco, will feature content from the team’s trip to China this pre-season as they take on the Lakers in Beijing and Shanghai; content from this summer’s NBA Tours where guard Klay Thompson and forward Harrison Barnes visited China to promote the upcoming NBA Global Games; along with Warriors team content including stats, rosters, schedules, game recaps, news, community efforts and more.

While in China for the NBA Global Games, the Warriors Weibo account will include player and coach interviews, social media contests, game stats and information, along with photos and videos from games and community events. Following the NBA Global Games, the Warriors Weibo account will continue to update Warriors Weibo followers with the latest news and information about the team.

The Warriors have also celebrated Chinese New Year and hosted Asian Heritage Nights for the past three seasons and will once again feature these theme nights during the 2013-14 season. Asian Heritage Night is scheduled for January 28, 2014 when the Warriors play the Washington Wizards and Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 4, 2014 when the Warriors take on the Charlotte Bobcats. For more information, please visit warriors.com/asianheritage.

I wonder when people will start liking DeRozan. He's gotten so much hate here over the years.

When he starts doing something besides scoring 18 points on average efficiency?

Nice to see Orlando shooting the ball well. Added bonus is Austin Carr can finely shut up about how awesome the Cavs D looks with the Mike Brown system

What's wrong with average efficiency? He'd look like a sharpshooter then on our team.

No he wouldn't. He's an even worse version of OJ Mayo with worse defense and no playmaking.
