Milkman41's Charlotte Bobcats Dynasty (2k10)

[Phoenixsuns32]

Nice year for the bobcats looks like the playoffs will be interesting, hope you can manage a second or third round birth, good luck.

Thanks, I don't really know how we did it, I played a couple games here and there but we just kept winning despite a pretty poor overall rating (I think around 70, but that's also due to low chemistry). Hopefully we'll go far in the playoffs!

Thanks for reading.

Bobcats eliminated in five games
The Bobcats, who finished as the #2 seed in the East with a 50 - 30 regular season record (tied for 1st in the league), lost in the opening round of the playoffs to the Toronto Raptors, the #7 seed. The Raptors' offense and rebounding, both led by PF Chris Bosh, who had an amazing series, were too much for the Bobcats to handle. The Bobcats now face a long offseason in which they will attempt to shore up weaknesses and become a dominant force for years to come.

Bobcats Announce Extension
The Charlotte Bobcats have announced that SG Thabo Sefolosha, acquired in a mid-season trade from the Oklahoma Thunder, has agreed to a 2-year extension worth $3.05M. Sefolosha will most likely back up SG George Henderson again, and provides stellar defense along with an improving offensive game.

C Brendan Haywood, SF Ersan Ilyasova, and PG Raymond Felton have all decided to test the free agent market. Of these three, the Bobcats have most interest in Ilyasova.

NBA Offseason: Draft Lottery
Tonight is the night of the lottery, when a ping pong ball here and there can change the future of a franchise. Here are the odds of getting the 1st overall pick for each team:

1 MIN: 25%
2 SAC: 19.9%
3 LAC: 15.6%
4 MIL: 11.9%
5 OKC: 8.8%
6 GS: 6.3%
7 PHI: 4.3%
8 MIA: 2.8%
9 MEM: 1.7%
10 DET: 1.1%
11 CHI: 0.8%
12 ORL: 0.7%
13 PHX: 0.6%
14 NY: 0.5%

And here are the results of the lottery:
14: NY
13: PHX
12: ORL
11: CHI
10: DET
9: MIA
8: PHI
7: GS
6: OKC
5: SAC
4: MIN
3: MIL
2: LAC
1: MEM

Wow, what a shocker; the Grizzlies, with a 1.7% chance of getting the 1st overall pick, did just that, sending Memphis into a state of frenzy. Meanwhile, Minnesota, the team with the highest chance of the #1 overall, finished with the 4th overall, a disappointment to be sure (though there are still stellar prospects available with that pick).

The Bobcats will have the 28th overall pick.
