I don’t know the drug testing policy in the Charlotte Bobcats offices, but it might be a good idea to collect a round of urine samples from Bobcats personnel if any of the recent online rumors are true. (Don’t test Michael, though.)
There are reports out of Charlotte that Quin Snyder is in contention to take over the head coaching vacancy, along with Jerry Sloan and Bryan Shaw. According to CBS, those three names are the leading candidates for the job and they’ll all meet with MJ either today or tomorrow. Sloan and Shaw have solid resumes, but if Quin Snyder is hired, the Charlotte Bobcats should be banned from NBA play forever. That ban should also include D-League competition, summer leagues, fan fares, and NBA licensed video games as well.
But that’s not all the Bobcats personnel are doing that suggests insanity and/or bath salt consumption. Chad Ford said in his online chat yesterday that Charlotte is considering drafting Harrison Barnes with the No. 2 pick. Leave it to North Carolina’s pro basketball team to take an overrated Tar Heel too early in the draft: Raymond Felton (5th overall, 2005) and Sean May (13th overall, 2005).
Quin Snyder and Harrison Barnes chatter aside, there is also a chance Charlotte could deal the No. 2 pick to get a more seasoned player that could lead the team right away. Names like James Harden and former Bobcat Gerald Wallace lead the online rumor mill as potential targets in a trade. I don’t think either are a great idea over Robinson, Beal or MKG, but it would be a much better plan than drafting Harrison Barnes.
And the Quin Snyder talk? If he’s hired, I expect to read reports of a naked Michael Jordan eating Rich Cho’s face off by Monday.

I don’t think Felton and May were chosen under MJ’s watch. I could be wrong, but I don’t think Jordan was involved with the Bobcats until 2006, and only then as a minority stake owner. It wasn’t until 2010 that MJ took majority stake control.

If OKC traded Harden for the second pick, MKG could play with Durant and Westbrook on a proven winner. Greatest outcome possible for MKG

I do have to ask why Franklin thinks Snyder is such a terrible hire. He doesn’t have any NBA HC experience but Franklin makes him out to be a rapist. Can anyone else inform me on this terrible man named Snyder?

They can have whoever they want at #2 just not MKG cause it sounds like a trainwreck down there. Please God let him slip to washington at #3 so we can see two of the most compatiable players to wear blue and white during Cal era to play on the same professional team. Though if 2. is right and harden to charlotte means MKG to OKC then onward with the motion to move a Kentucky player to every NBA team before we start doubling up..

Maggard says Jones is suspended from TV for getting into it with a coworker. What happened Matt?
June 14th, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Please, please, PLEASE take HB #2 so we can laugh at MJ’s ‘business man’ accomplishments as being polar opposite of his basketball accomplishments.

Wouldn’t be the least surprised at the Bobcats taking Barnes, if they don’t they will take the other loser, Drummond. Will probably take the Plumlee kid in the second round.

WTF is this website’s obsession with Charlotte?! Are you people that obsessed with the state of North Carolina?
Listen, I know Kentucky doesn’t have any professional sports (and for good reason), and maybe only 5 electoral votes or so, coupled with only 2 legitimate “cities” in the entire “commonwealth”, but seriously, there are worst franchises and cities than Charlotte. Sacramento, Toronto, and Washington to name a few.
I know you guys hate how much national attention Duke and UNC get, and I know you hate the sleezeball perception that Calipari gives your entire state… but posting about Charlotte once a week just makes you look like the lame, boring, redneck state that you are.

Please, stick to horse racing and farming…

8. Hah you come onto our board to the comment section of a post thats mere purpose was bashing current decisions being made in a relatively close proximity NBA team which one of those decisions could affect one of our own, but you claim its all about Charlotte and then the state of nc..I mean you must feel awfully inferior if the emotion you get from reading this post caused a rant like the one above. Duke and UNC are relics and I dont care who gives them attention cause we dont care what their doing or what the whole effin stae is up to cause we got thing rolling here in lexigton so you have good reason to be so scared.

Was that english? Sorry bro, I don’t understand ebonics.

8) We care about Charlotte because they hold the second pick in the draft and might select Kidd-Gilchrist. Given that Charlotte was, in fact, historically the worst franchise in the NBA this year and has absolutely ZERO pieces to build around, Kentucky fans who would like to see our former players on contending teams/teams that might get on national television at least once care what boneheaded decisions their front office makes.
Notice that this article didn’t say anything negative about the city of Charlotte or the state of North Carolina. There are, in fact, plenty of posts on here about the Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards because of Wall and Cousins. Sounds like you have little man complex about your city.
Also, seriously, scare quotes around the word cities? As if North Carolina is full of metropolises? How is Charlotte anymore “legitimate” of a city than Louisville, other than its absolutely pathetic NBA franchise?

8. I just moved from NC and trust me, there are as many dumb rednecks in that state as there are in any other state in America. Just look at NC’s NASCAR obsession. Also, your grammar screams boarderline retard: “there are worst franchises and cities than Charlotte. Sacramento, Toronto, and Washington to name a few”.
And last but not least, we have 8.

Meant that to be directed at #8, not 8)

Dumb rednecks. Stick to horse racing.

You must see how defensive you look to be getting on a Kentucky blog multiple times a day to try aand read something in a way that allows you to discredit an entire fanbase. Why do you “need” us to be so dumb, what in your life has hurt you, maybe you should talk to somebody..oh no not me though I dont want to here you spew shit. Oh are you still here?

Why does everyone on this site hate Charlotte so much… Let’s not forget Charlotte made the playoffs 2 years ago under Jordan so it’s not impossible! Like 8 said, there are a lot worse places to be then Charlotte. Yes this team is awful, but that’s what happens to a team when you trade all the good players off your team. It called rebuilding.
