the bobcats need a few more trades to make them playoff contenders. after hearing that the hornets were willing to trade emeka okafor for kenny thomas, im thinking that the bobcats can get their old center back by trading nazr mohhamed & gana diop for okafor & perhaps a power forward like ike diogu or sean marks to round out the trade. itd certainly make the bobcats better while giving new orleans two (to my knowledge) expiring contracts. only problem is, i think larry brown would have an issue with this as he seemed to not like okafor too much when he played for them. but hey okaofor starting & chandler as a back-up, or vice-versa, theyd still be a much better team.

SJack is a loser. He has a ring because he was on a team with one of the biggest winners in the league, Tim Duncan. Everything has done before and after has been boneheaded fuckery. He ain’t a good teammate, and he isn’t really a good player. Everyone saying he’s a borderline All Star is full of shit, he is 31 now, past his prime and he never made it when he was IN his prime. It’s all downhill from here.

Funny that they should get along. I realize its been years, but the brawl at the palace was an event that affected both Larry Brown and S-Jax. Jax’ reputation took a beating because of it, and he has always been known as something of a loose cannon since then. Should be interesting.

“Brown is somebody who is tough on players and demands a lot of things from you like playing defense.” Really? Defense is asking for a lot out of someone who makes millions playing a sport? Anyway, I thought defense was part of basketball…

Kinda of a stupid article. Stephen Jackson would NEVER be tired of the free flowing system in GS. Why whould he? It got him paid, it got him big stats, which is important for players like Jack, and got him his shots. No way he was tired of that system. He just got tired of losing but better be prepared to feel that feeling again. Charlotte have potential to be as bad as GSW without the nonsense behind the scenes. On the court, they are in the same spot.

I think it’s realistic that bobcats can make 7th or 8th seed when healthy with starting lineups of Felton Jackson Wallace, Diaw, Chandler, and having augustin Flip Murray, Henderson, Graham, and Nazr come off the bench. Besides, Jackson’s rep took a hit from the media but amongst NBA circles, they know he is a winner, is a religous vocal leader with teammates, and he is extremely loyal to them as well. He’ll repair his reputation then get traded.

Iverson will probably sign with a contender as well. He has a valid point that if he is the best player at his position on the team, he should start. Maybe Iverson could sign with the celtics and take up PG duties for the 2nd unit and play with Eddie House, Marquis Daniels, Glen Davis, Rasheed Wallace on the 2nd unit and get about 20-25 mins of playing time. I think Iverson won’t mind coming off the bench for a star player like Rondo, Parker, Williams, Nash, Billups, Paul if he will get good playing time and also be playing for a contender. Memphis would never workout because A) They can’t contend, B) He was coming off the bench for an inferior player, but with the other PG’s Iverson believes they are just as good as he is or maybe even better so Iverson could end up with a contender with a star pg. Wait and see.
