I'm ecstatic with our upgrades and they are crystal clear:

Lin>Roberts
Batum>Hendo
Lamb>Lance
Kaminsky>Vonleh
Hawes>Biz

Cho brought in 5 shooters and still has an MLE in his pocket along with fringe assets (PJ, Daniels, 2 Nets 2nd rounders) to add a cheap rim protector like Dieng.

Last year this team ranked near the bottom in 3 pt shooting and assists. This major weakness resulted in the facelift we so desperately needed. Last year not only sucked in outcome but it was not entertaining to watch AT ALL. Most games had my neighbors wondering if I was going to rampage through the neighborhood and cut someone with a knife. Look, I'm a small dude, but I'm **** paleo-ripped and I could probably twist the head off a saber-toothed Tiger when I'm pissed even though they don't exist but only in fantasy.

The team also didn't age. Clifford will audition different combos of these newcomers and we will identify who fits and who goes before 2016. There will be plenty of cap space to lock up the ones we need to keep. Not only that, there will be plenty of money to add someone like Horford to our core. The guy is in Atlanta. We are next door. We have a passionate fan base. They have too many blacks obviously. I kid.

Sour grapes with the losses of Noah Vonleh and Bismack Biyombo, but I like what Cho has done over the past month. Still a bit more luster to add with the final roster spot(s), preferably a legitimate rim protector and a solid wing

Honestly, seeing what we could've had is quite depressing to an extent.
Kemba, Winslow, MKG, Vonleh, Zeller, i mean that looks great, it oozes potential, however something that may not be fulfilled, which is why I've come to terms with the new lineup, We definitely have a great balance now, not much defence in the front court but I'm sure Clifford has a plan, we've always lacked 3point shooting but now we have tonnes of it so im quite excited to see our offensive team instead of just defence defence grind it out basketball.

We should all stick by our franchise no matter what :)

If you look at my avatar you will see that it is still the bobcats logo. If I liked a team that was in the bottom 5 of the league for 10 years, why wouldn't I like a team that is striving to make the playoffs? I'm a HornBobs fan for life. Whether they suck or surprise doesn't matter to me. I was born in raised in the great state of Carolina. I live in Charlotte. I love my Hornbobs.
