Jordan is considering Name change for bobcats

The thing is that I’m open for anything. It’s a commitment. We have to go through the league. It’s a process. It’s a financial commitment. Am I willing to look at that and say can we go down that road? Yeah. If I get the understanding from the community, from the public, that we need it and it signifies change, yeah, I would do that. But once again, it’s a process. It’s a $3-million to $10-million investment to do that. I’m not afraid of that, as long as at the backside of that, the public is going to be happy about that, that it’s going to be great for the organization. I think it [could be] a new beginning. Yeah, I would do that. I would consider that.

Jordan really gets it.... I have no doubt that in time, this team will be competitive. Mark Cuban got it, and he turned Dallas from Completely Irrelevant to a competitive team every year, and got it done quickly. At the end of the day Jordan understands he has to make the city and fans of the team happy. He will do what he can to win, and bring the fan base to the game and bigger supporters of the team. Jordan is a doer... Not complaining, just seems to be open to solutions on different challenges the team is facing...

The more I think about it, the more I don't want it to happen. When the team name came out, I really didn't like it. But I think it's too late in the game to change the name. I mean I think a name like Thunder is worse than ours, but because they are winning, no one talks about the team name. And what would people do with all the apparel.

Dumb idea this late in the game. But I can't wait to see the Charlotte Jumpmen play. Hell, why not institute a new policy where every new owner gets to change the name to whatever they want. Then we'll have "Nextel presents the Charlotte RadioShack Energizer Bunnies".

As the poor memories of Bob Johnson's early seasons' incompetence and racism fade, then so will the distaste for the Bobcats.

I tend to agree. Its not the name that is so bad. Its the dummy that the name makes everyone think about that is bad about it. Thank God Bob Johnson is gone for good!

    • Auburn literally could've had 20+ fouls in that half. Hate playing teams like this.
    • I think last year actually set him back.  Our interior online was one of the worst I've seen.  Combine that with Frank archaic system and about 10 other things and then Canales comes in and implements his system regardless who the players were. A lot of coaches think their system can work with any player and don't do any or as much as they should with tailoring it to fit the player.  Canales admitted that pretty much in our first game but when he scaled it back and Bryce still looked horrible so he was benched.  That move right there is one of the big things that has sold me on Canales.  I judge him based on what he's done since he was renamed the starter.  I probably need to give him a little more rope because it probably seemed in his first game like it was just like last year.  Another new coach with his system and Bryce just went along.  Both the coach and the player are adapting to each other and I think that we are back, baby!!!!  It's just like Drew Brees and Sean Payton except without the mole and the butthole lips.  
    • This is why I hate playing hackathon teams. They get away with half of theirs because of ref whistle fatigue then they notice the foul count discrepancy and then you start picking up ticky tack bullshit to even the count on the box score.
