I assume with you being the Bobcats that you will be rebuilding and trying to get some good young talent and draft picks?

Tank the first season, get Noel and tank the next season and get Wiggins.

Tank the first season, get Noel and tank the next season and get Wiggins.

That's a good plan...plus the talent you have have will develop

@CobheadJake
That's exactly what im trying to do and hopefully improve the record year after year for the first few seasons

It's a good plan! Lets be fair, you should DEFINITELY improve on their record from last season! Like Martti says, Noel and Wiggins look like very good calls!

5 Minutes (6 Minutes Sim) since I would get bored playing in a match with more minutes than that.

I won't be buying any of the three though to fact iv jumbled up the team a bit (Will be in the Next post )

Major Reshake

Today the Charlotte Bobcats announced that they have made huge trades with teams including the Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, Sacremento Kings and the New York

IN: Francisco Garcia, Tyler Honeycutt From Sacremento Kings

Francisco Garcia the 31 year old “6 7”. Was drafted 23rd in the NBA Draft in 2005. The Shooting Guard/Small Forward should provided valuble minutes off the bench

Tyler Honeycutt the Twenty two year old Small Forward was Drafted 35th in the draft in the 2011 draft. He will be more likely traded out for a better player.

Out: DaSagna Diop, Brendan Haywood + 2014 2nd round pick To Sacremento Kings

DaSagna Diop the 31 year old center was traded out to bring a more younger to the team he had a career high of Assists last season with .9 in what was a very poor season for him

The 33 year old Center had a good last season with him 5.2PPG and 6 Rebounds Per game. He also is leaving to bring a younger look to the squad

In: James Johnson + 2014 2nd Round Pick from Sacremento Kings

The 26 Year old Small/Power Forward 64 rated was brought in to provide Back up to the main Forwards. He had a great season last season with 9.1 PPG.

Out: Reggie Willams to Sacremento Kings

Williams was a free agent before the Bobcats picked him up showing everyone that he can’t make it in the NBA.



In: DeShawn Stevenson,Jordan Willams from Atlanta Hawks

A former winner of the playoffs DeShawn Stevenson showing that he can win at a High level. He is a small bit past his peak but Stevenson leadership could help us to the victory.

Jordan Willams The Young 22 was drafted 36th in the 2011 Draft by the New Jersey Jets. The 22 Old will provide minutes off the bench.

Out: Tyler Honeycutt, Jeff Taylor, 2014 2nd round pick To Atlanta Hawks

Tyler Honeycutt was brought in and traded straight back out

Jeff Taylor drafted by the Bobcats this year in the second round but failed to impress the coach


In: Kenyon Martin Free Agent

The No.1 Pick in the 2000 draft the 34 year old has played 100 games in the play offs through his 12 year career. He also played in 2004 All star game.



In: Tyson Chandler From New York Knicks + 2013 2nd Round Pick From New York Knicks

Tyson Chandler comes back for his second spell at the club. Chandler was part of the side that played in the playoffs in the 2009/10 before being traded for Matt Caroll,Erick Dampier and Eduardo Najera. Tyson was named first alterative for the 2008 Olympics and was named starting center in the 2012 Olympics

Out: Ben Gordan + Bismack Biyombo To New York Knicks

Gordan one of the Main point scorers in our side had to be sacrificed to bring one of the best centres in the league

Biyombo did his job in defence but was poor at shooting which lead to him leaving.

In: Bradley Beal From Portland Trail Blazers

The Number three draft pick this year comes in to make the even younger . Bradley Beal was named the No.1 High school player in 2011. The Bobcats now have two of the top three players in the 2012 Draft.

Out: Matt Caroll + Jordan Willams + 2014 1st Round Round Pick to Portland Trail Blazers

Both players would just be role players so changing them into a starter seemed a good idea. A huge risk was taken with 2014 first Round pick leaving us,



In: Bradley Jennings From Miluakkee Bucks

Bradley was drafted No.10 in the 2009 Draft. Last Season he picked his Career High of 19.1 Points per game

Out: Kemba Walker + 2013 First Round Pick To Milakuuwe Bucks

Kemba was drafted No.9 in the 2011 draft. He played some good Basketball last season with 12.1 PPG 5.7 APG 3.6 RPG and 2 steals per game.

First Team ------------------- Second Team
