Charlotte Bobcats rise all thanks to Larry Brown

Larry Brown, more than anyone, is the man to be thanked for picking up the pieces of this franchise, making smart decisions and trades (even unpopular ones) and coaching these players into playing like a team. Larry Brown is here because of Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is here because of his North Carolina roots.

Why was Bob Johnson here?

To make money. Plain and simple. I have no problem with a man trying to make money.

But let's give credit where credit is due. Bob Johnson could very easily go down as one of the most inept NBA owners in NBA history. Michael Jordan and Larry Brown are the 2 men who deserve the credit for the Bobcats' recent success. While Bobcat Johnson was trying to sell out and get the F out of Dodge as fast as possible, MJ and LB quietly went about their business of putting together a contender.

KT?

I don't know about predictable. It states the truth. Larry Brown, who is here because Michael Jordan is here (Larry's words not mine), is the man who has made the trades and acquisitions and furthermore he is the head coach. He deserves the credit 100% for this cherry-poppin playoff trip.

But, But, But, Micheal is only here because of Saint Bob Johnson. The great hero of Charlotte who brought basketball back only because he felt so bad about the Hornets leaving. So Bob Johnson is the one to thank for Larry Brown!

Bob Johnson's not a bad guy, he just didn't understand this market.

Agreed. I don't think Bob is a bad guy by any means whatsoever. I think he expected his investment in the Bobcats to be an instant success without having to put in a lot of work or really know and understand how to be successful in the NBA marketplace.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
