    This Charlotte team is just plain horrific. Shouldn't even be in the league.

    No. He rode gerald Wallace and Jackson as long as possible and now he's going to rebuild with top of the lottery picks. Same way OKC did.

      I hope you are joking.

      Bobcats are a disgrace. Easily the worst team in the NBA, and probably the least bright future. You look at all the weak teams, and they all have good up and coming players. Not sure I can say the same about the Bobcats.

        I hope your joking. They have a bright future because they will be at the top of the lottery for the next 2 years.

        How else will they become a winner?

        Is Howard going to sign there?
        Is deron going to sign there?
        Did anyone from last years class have any interest in signing there?

        No.

        Same deal with OKC, Minnesota, etc. All part of the process.

          He's only the third worst owner in Charlotte basketball history.

          Not even close

              some teams just will never have a chance at winning, doesn't matter who the owner is. If he has the money to buy a championship he can do that in time, but only way they have a chance

                If this post gets bumped 2 years from now, you'll regret it, IMO. What's the benefit for Jordan to pump money into their roster when their core is undeveloped? This was always going to be a throwaway season for the franchise wherein they assess what they've got and build the playing experience of the players they like. Now if they do well in this year's draft and perhaps shop around a bit in the free agent market, next year they can put a team on the floor that's exciting to watch. The year after that, their needs will be better defined and they'll really have a high degree of certainty as to what they are capable of.

                It's an unreasonable expectation to start from nothing and succeed right away...

                  Oh yeah because MJ has the best track record when it comes to drafting and personel moves. Didn't he get the #1 pick a few years ago when he was the Wiz GM? Yeah Kwame Brown sure did work out nice for him. Oh yeah and trading Rip Hamilton for a washed up Jerry Stackhouse sure was a great move as well.

                  Oh and my favorite, taking Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy and Rudy Gay. Way to go MJ!

                      Kwame brown would of been the number 1 pick no matter which team it was. He was just the unlucky one who go to find out he was a bust.

                      Morrison had a productive rookie season. His problem was injuries.

                      Is david Kahn a great GM? No. Look at the potential the timberwolves have over the next 4 years.

                        MJ is as good at owning a team as he is at hitting a curveball.

                          Only an incompetent GM like MJ would have picked Morrison. Everyone knew the kid couldn't play a lick of defense. And if I remember correctly, people were very critical of MJ's pick of Morrison when it happened. When you are given the #3 pick in the draft, there is not much room for error. You can make or break the next decade for your franchise depending on the pick.

                          His bad moves completely outweigh his good moves.

                          Can someone please back me up here on SBR, we have a guy trying to defend MJ and promote him as a good general manger. How long was he with the Wizards and look what he did with them. How long has he been with the bobcats, and IMO they have regressed. He's been with them for 6 years now, and they haven't made any major strides. At least teams like Minnesota/Sacramento/Golden State seem to be building something.

                          And if you honestly think he will be a good GM just because the Bobcats suck and they will get good draft picks, then your not worth talking too. If anything, with MJ's track record with top 3 picks, he'll blow them on a guy who is a bench player at best.

                              Yeah but technically isn't Brandon Roy a bust too? Retired at 27 and half of his years in the NBA were plagued by injuries.

                                  Morrison was a top 5 guy regardless. Again, how can you blame kwame on him? Consensus number 1. Morrison was consensus top 5.

                                  How have they regressed? He played out the Wallace and Jackson era as long as he could, now he's rebuilding from the top of the lottery.

                                  What would you rather he be doing with the franchise? It's a small market. He's following the blueprint of OKC and Minnesota, two teams on the brink of championship success.

                                    He was a great basketball player. He doesn't have the brains to be an owner. End of story.

                                      To be fair the 06 draft wasn't that strong/deep.
                                      Bargani, Aldridge ( 1&2), then Gay. Rondo, Millsap and Lowry were the only other high quality players, but were kind of surprises. Everyone else in that draft is completely irrelevant besides a few half decent role players. #3 wasn't a great pick to have in that draft. (Also excluding Roy because injuries.)

                                        Let's face it you put a team in Charlotte or some off the wall city like that and they are going to suck legendary balls

                                        I mean Charlotte.....seriously????

                                          I'm done discussing this with you. You have to be working for MJ or sleeping with him. One or the other. I've never heard someone defend MJ as a GM, until I heard you.

                                                The NBA's problem is that they don't have enough talent to spread around to all the teams. They won't do this, but if the NBA were smart, they'd contract the NBA and cut out 2 teams.

                                                  Charlotte is top 20 in population in the US I think. I live bout 30 minutes from Charlotte but never go to Bobcat games.

                                                      I mean Charlotte.....seriously????

                                                        OKC is arguably the best team in the league and there a small market.

                                                              To me, Charlotte is embracing more of the 1980-2010 rebuilding plan of the Clippers, instead of the recent OKC plan.

They have done more player swapping/cost cutting than any team over the past 4 to five years. No one is left from the Felton/Maye draft year team. That is ridiculous. Nobody is worth a shit on that team. Jordan needs some of the blame when he would still be the best player on the team.

He's my favorite Piston of all-time, and I overlooked his shortcomings when he made bad decision after bad decision. I finally faced reality, ignored how I felt about him as a player and began to realize how much of a failure he is in the front office.
