Somebody explain the bobcats draft trades to me. They have the pistons and blazers first round picks but not if they're top 12, so they just get nothing?

Bobcats receive the Blazers' 2013 first-round pick (top 12 protected in the 2013, 2014, and 2015, and unprotected in 2016)

Bobcats receive the Pistons' 2013 first-round pick (top 14 protected in the 2013 draft, top 8 in 2014, top 1 in 2015, and unprotected in 2016)

I mean yeah that's what I read, so if they're top 12 picks the bobcats don't get anything? Seems like you should at least bump back to their second round or something

There are only two 1st round picks in play here. They aren't getting the Pistons & Blazers pick each year through 2016. If they don't get it this year, it just rolls over to the next year's stipulation. They'll get something at least by 2016 when the picks are unprotected.

^there is 1 scenario where that would happen: if the 2016 class ends up looking worse than 2000 draft class

Just need to make sure our pick is >12, 10, or 8 the next three years so we don't give the bulls one of them

I like how everyone is having these fond memories of the Charlotte Hornets. they were mainly a BAD franchise . we had couple of runs but we never made it deep in the playoffs. Zo and Larry couldn't stand each other. we drafted kobe and got Vlade Divac in a horrible outcome. they fell on their faces more than not.


Purple and teal are horrible colors. I mean borderline suspect colors. Grown men cant be wearing that shit in public. i use to rock the hell out the windbreaker when i was kid too. emphasis on " when i was a kid" I saw a charlotte hornets hat in the store last week and I still dont know what the hell I was thinking.


also why does New Orleans get to change their name right away but we cant?

we weren't as great as some would like to remember, but they also weren't as bad as you're making it sound

they sucked dick at first, like pretty much all NBA franchises at the beginning...lost their first game ever to the Cavs by 40 points and got a standing ovation...got some legit face superstars over the next few years like johnny newman and armon gilliam, but didn't make noise til we drafted KG out of Illinois then LJ then Zo...beat the old ass, yet HOF-studded Celtics in the 2nd loudest moment I can remember being in the Charlotte Coliseum (loudest was during All Star Weekend when Super Hugo did a flip dunk, climbed up on the rim, and started waving the American flag...back when people were still patriotic)

but we were also 1 game away from the Eastern Finals back in 02 or 03...beat the shit out of the Heat 3-0 in the first round with Mashburn and PJ playing against their former team...average margin of victory was like 25 points...faced off against the Shuttlesworth / Alien / Big Dog Bucks in round 2, got down 0-2 after the first 2 games in Milwaukee, won the next 2 in Charlotte, won game 5 back in Milwaukee (this was the BD/D-Wes/Mash/PJ/Big Homey team with guys like Eddie Robinson coming off the bench), then a heartbreaking late-game Ray Allen 3 pointer in the Charlotte Coliseum (RIP) tied the series and sent it back to their place where they beat us in game 7...we wouldve faced the Nets, Kidd in his prime with an up and coming Richard Jefferson and Byron Scott on the sidelines...probably wouldve lost the series but couldve shocked the world only to get dominated by Shaq and Kobe

good times

Game 7 at Milwaukee...didn't they get T'd up for only 4 guys coming back on the court, due to Derrick Coleman not getting off his ass & into the game? I believe they lost by 1, maybe 2.

Coleman was already gone that year, thank goodness...can't remember what happened in game 7 except I watched it from somewhere in upstate New York and basically it was already over when we let them win Game 6

worked construction with some guy from around Syracuse and they gave Coleman a summer job one year when he was in college...said he was the laziest guy he'd ever met

Charlotte going back to the Hornets name has less to do with recapturing old glory and more to do with burying that fucking bobcats name and the disaster the franchise has been since being rejunvenated.

i dont know...the nostalgia of the name has at the very least made me interested in the franchise again.

now all we have to do is get rid of the owner, fire all the players, and resurrect the Hive from the ashes on Tyvola Rd.

Glen Rice and Bogus are well-known oversea.

But if they hope that the old name can change their fate and bring good luck, that's not what I want to see. They should make practical improvement.

Yes the hornets drafted Kobe. But they had agreed to trade that selection to the Lakers the day before the draft. That's why i used

It's not like they drafted him and then were like PEACE OUT KID

that pic just makes me mad again. I thought I buried the memory and moved on. Nope.


I remember about just 3 to 4 years ago I had debate with a co worker ( insane kobe fan). If the hornets kept kobe would we they have championships? I was like "no way, needs big man". He was like "yes at least 2". however I cried at mere possibility that my favorite team could of had championships.


...We could of had a championship
