    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

    If we have to play a 7'0 PF like Andrea Bargnani or Pau Gasol r 6'11s like LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, etc.. we're gonna get our *** tore up. I honestly think we should try to trade up trading Okafor, maybe Kaman (he's iffy) and then maybe we could create some MKG/Harrison Barnes + Eric Gordon dynamic duo.

      I've already convinced myself that we're not going to get a Top 3 pick this year, therefore saving myself from any further disappointment. Plus...it's the Nets and when have things ever gone our way?

      Push to shove, I see Washington, Charlotte and New Orleans in the top 3 with the Hornets getting the top pick.

          I'm preparing to get the lowest pick possible, figured with my disappointment starting with my teams starting in January I should aim low.

            It's like hockey or baseball. They have the rights to that player. The draftee could play in Europe, but to play in the NBA, they have to sign an entry level with the team that owns their rights, or get force a trade a la Eric Lindros. Most players don't have the kind of hype to do that before even touching the ball/puck though.

              As a Bobcats fan (unfortunately), I just hope we've built up enough karma to win this thing. Something fortunate has to happen to us eventually, right?

                If Karma equates to success and karma = horrible win record and poorly handled franchise then The Bobcats will become the first team to somehow win 2 championships in one year.

                      I'm bracing for the same thing, I think the Pistons will get jumped and drop to 10 or worse. But I'm a pessimist. Wouldn't be upset with Henson.

                            Not at all, sir lol.

                            Remember, we FAILED at tanking in 2010 when we lost 70 games and ended up with the 3rd pick so that alone should tell you nothing good rarely, if ever happens to us.

                              Nope. I prefer we don't resign Morris because from what I've seen his future doesn't look very promising. He's turnover prone and a poor decision maker. The only highlight of his season was that crazy half court buzzer beater against the Clips lol. I definitely want to keep Goudelock but I'm sure he has some trade value so he may have to be included in some trade. Most likely Blake will be gone too. Besides, who would they draft? I know they need a backup shooting guard but whoever it is they won't get many minutes anyways and they could just roll with the two point guard set.

                                The difference being that that was when the team was the New Jersey Nets. You guys have Brooklyn (and possibly David Stern) on your side now.
