Bobcats aquire terrorist

Dumbfuck, taking on that additional salary will make it harder for them to win in the future when they might actually have a chance to be competitive, unlike this year.

 

of course, the salary cap is generally only an issue when trying to attract free agents. i can't imagine the bobcats are going to draw much free agent interest for it to even be a problem of cap space.

 

You really can't be this ignorant.

 

6M/year (actually 5.6 this year) is relatively cheap for a C who can start in the NBA, especially one not in his rookie contract. I don't think we were going to get Andrew Bynum for the unproductive garbage we traded for Mohammed.

And considering the Bobcats, with the new signings of Wallace, Richardson, Carroll and the added contract for Mohammed, are *still* at the bottom of the NBA payroll, the "additional salary will make it harder for them to win in the future" argument doesn't hold a whole lot of water.

Herrmann wasn't getting off the bench of Primoz has been complete garbage for the last couple of year.

 

They supposedly couldn't sign one of the legitimate centers available this off-season because they didn't have the cap space. Now they have a not insignificant amount of salary committed to someone who is horrible instead of freeing up that cap space for the next off-season. Once again, Detroit's main interest in doing this deal was to dump Mohammed's contract. How then can any idiot say that Charlotte picking that up is not a factor?

You, like Thelt, need to shut up. Seriously, you're embarrassing yourself. When people like Tet are willing to publicly agree with me, then you know it's something blindingly obvious. Sit down and just pretend that you never said anything.

 

the bobcats have the lowest payroll in the league and didn't get the full use of the salary cap until after this year if i'm not mistaken. even if the last part isn't true, the first part is.

collin. you're wrong. watch this, i'm not gonna tell you to shut up or call you names. you're just wrong, and that hurts you more than any name calling ever could.

 

Being wrong doesn't hurt me. When I'm actually wrong, I just acknowledge it and make myself right by correcting my position. But in this case, there's not even any debate about me being right. It's so obvious that even someone like me who is far from an expert on the NBA can see it. And as I said, every national source who is even bothering to talk about the trade has been mocking Charlotte for being so stupid. The Michael Jordan GM jokes are back in full force.

 

that's fine and dandy. and you're right about the crappy gm stuff.

but you're wrong about the salary cap stuff and i was right about the first two years. so this is going to be the first offseason (if i read the rule correctly) that the bobcats have full use of the salary cap.

as far as the trade goes, it looks pretty stupid. but the stats don't always tell the whole story. if they can get a serviceable center that can put okafor at the four, and thus eliminate some of the foul trouble, it's not a totally bad trade.

regardless, michael jordan would still have a better impact on this team if he were playing instead of managing. and i don't think he could play at a high level. i think he's that bad at a front office position.

 

I think the trade is a good thing. Call me an idiot all you like, it's not a bad trade. It addresses a HUGE need, it opens up a roster spot, and the contract isn't that bad.

 

No, I wasn't. The Bobcats supposedly couldn't sign Milicic because they didn't have enough space under the cap. Again, Mohammed is a below average player who had no use to a Detroit team that lacks a true center, and who adds unnecessary payroll to Charlotte's future.

Edit:
To touch on an earlier point, Magloire is a better center, was available, and signed a one year deal for $4 million.
