    I am guessing either Oden or Durrant would be great but if they do not get a top two pick who should they add? It seems like center might be the best place to upgrade.

    With a high draft pick and a possible big name free agent on board next year they might make some noise.

    if they don't get a top 2 pick they shoul,d trade up with their other 1st round pick to get a top 2 pick.

    the Bobcats already have 15k in Durant,C's have 30k

    ----------

    Jordan's comment wasn't meant to coax Durant out of school

    Not that $15,000 would poke a big hole in Michael Jordan’s bank account, but I don’t think he was doing anything malicious by making a reference to Texas freshman Kevin Durant.

    The NBA fined the Bobcats for a quote Jordan gave me during an interview with the Observer.

    I didn’t ask about Durant. I was following up on a point Jordan made about the value of versatility. I asked him how versatile the Bobcats were currently. First, Jordan mentioned Gerald Wallace, then he mentioned how Adam Morrison is struggling defensively. Then he wandered off on this point about how the "kid from Texas’’ shows signs of NBA versatility.

    Do I think Jordan was coaxing Durant out of school? Nah. He was being articulate about his vision for this team. But you can’t very well fine Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge $30,000 for chatting up Durant’s mother (at the Big 12 tournament) without fining the Bobcats something for Jordan’s quote.

    I don't get it. How is shmoozing his parents similar to making a reference to him?

    agreed. As big as college basketball is now, I've got to think its impossible to have to act like a person doesn't exist.

    We'll get Brandon Wright. Screw getting a shooting guard or small forward, let's draft another Tarheel.

    The top of the draft is loaded with big men.

    Oden, Wright, Noah, Jianlian, Wright, Horford, Hawes, Lopez.

    I don't know but I saw Omeka Okafor at the Dowd YMCA last night. He wasn't nearly as big (bulky) as I would expect. I think he was going to swim.
