Bobcats have vids from today's workouts with interviews, pictures, and individual videos of Henderson, Carroll, Biyombo, Walker, and Thomas from today's workout. Henderson also said that he is 100% healthy and ready for the season saying "I haven't felt this good since I was 16." You can tell in the video he was really getting up and down the floor well.

Even though they're young, I could see kemba and bismack being a very good pick n' roll combo.

Putting in first nickname of the year..Bismack Biyombo is "Bitchslap Yourmombro." Stole it from some dude on RoF day we drafted him.

Bismack worked out?

Bismack worked out?

yep, there in the flesh..even did a couple interviews. Not sure how that works with his contract situation.

[ItsPantone278]

I think I was at that game. We had life 7 total players. 2 on the bench or something right after the Gerald trade I think. Maybe it was a different game but that was the last time I was there.

It was April 9th or 10th I think, we were playing detroit. They smoked us after being down like 41 to 20 in the 1st quarter.

Great to see Bismack is here working out. Because by god he needs it. He has a ton of potential.

I don't have much faith in Henderson being a starting caliber SG. I mean come on... he would be beyond a huge surprise if he ever becomes a serviceable starter in the league. He sounds up to the task, but damn.. this is who we are looking to for leadership?

[ItsPantone278]

Good to see Bismack get the better of his match-up against air this time. seriously though, really hope this dude develops. did we ever find out how old he really is?

[CarolinaNut]

i'm excited about this season...obviously we're going to lose some games but we have a young team and i'm looking forward to seeing how they progress throughout the season

Diop is gone. He still has two years left at 6-7 million each season and he only played in 23 games last season.

As for the rest of the team, meh. Henderson will be good he stays healthy. Look for him to average 15-18 points per game. Team only really has one guy who can get 20 points consistently and he still sucks. Another high draft pick for the cats.

edit: damn auto correct on cellphone....

[RedMage138]

Yeah but who are you gonna replace him with in the FA department? Diop is still gonna get paid regardless of if we use the amnesty clause. We would have to pay Diop plus a FA center. I'm not sure our front office would want to do that.

It's all about next year. There's no way we go into next year with Diop's contract counting against the salary cap. I'd rather pick up a bum off the street and sit him at the end of the bench for this season if it means we're done with Diop.

I agree in a way but I just find it hard to believe that our brass will do that. If we do end up offering amnesty to Diop we have to find 2 centers in the FA market. So basically we are paying the salary of 3 centers (Diop's overpaid contract, FA C, FA C) while only using 2. I understand where you are coming from and would like the same, I just don't see our front office doing that.

It is going to be hard to get excited about this years team but like I said it's for the future. We have to get worse to get better. If not we were stuck in the 7-10 seed range. That's the worst spot to be.

Thomas and Walker are the 2 I really can get excited about. Tyrus is so money from midrange, especially from that elbow.

[d-run]

Also, we don't have to use the amnesty right now if we don't have a better option. We can keep it in our back pocket until we need it to go get someone and stay under the tax line.

Was that a Derrick "UPS" Brown sighting in the background during the Henderson video? Is he no longer on the Knicks? Did we bring him back? I honestly don't remember.

Yeah that was him.

He is still with the Knicks, if I am not mistaken. EDIT: Just checked, I believe he is a restricted FA.

Dominic McGuire was there too but I really hope we don't sign him.

Anthony Morrow was there too. NBA opened facilities to all NBA players no matter where you are under contract. I assume that you can basically work out anywhere until TC starts on the 9th when coaches can be involved in the workouts.

Oh yeah forgot about him, he was there. He went to Latin. One of the best 3 point shooters in the league, if not, the best.
