    Well, the obtained Cho from the OKC FO. They will be just fine - 4 or 5 years down the line. He is the right GM for the team.

    People who bring up the age limit being moved up have no clue. The NBA has no leverage and the players aren't going to give that to them for free. It won't be addressed until the next CBA. IMO, the players union will NEVER agree to raise the age limit. If anything, it goes the other way.

    If they want to tank then they shouldn't draft MKG.

    I love MKG and he really has exactly what they were missing last season... Heart. And he has a ton of it!

    Of course they would rather have Davis but MKG will be great as well

    Being from NC, hire Sloan.

    Its like Cho said ,They are looking for someone who develop players and thats Sloan.

    They need to trade Augustine for some good pieces, they also need to trade Corey.

    They need another scoring option so that kid from UConn would do.

    Not so sure about that. The Walker and Biyombo picks don't look very good. Don't assume Cho is a genius just because he worked under Sam Presti a couple of years.

    They need to hire Brooks away from OKC. :D

    But, yeah. Their roster looks awful. Unless someone develops unexpectedly, they are up a creek - well, the pundits might be wrong about next year's draft. It seems like the talking heads have been predicting a lot of doom/gloom with the drafts just about every year recently.

    Lowry for Portland's #6 pick straight-up
    Take on Okafor's salary in exchange for the #10 pick

    #6, #10, #14, and #16 picks to Charlotte for their #2 pick. They get to actually rebuild, we finally get a guy who could become a superstar.

    As part of the deal with Stern to land the first pick, Benson is going to have to gift the franchise name "Hornets" back to Charlotte.

    Will be interesting to see who they draft. With Biyombo at PF I don't see them drafting Robinson, think they'll gamble on Drummond. Could end up as Kwame 2.0 for Jordan. Or they draft Beal to make the safe pick.

    I see them going for Harrison Barnes and reaching for him. I don't think anyone is a surefire at this point and he is polished, a north carolina boy with popularity and can help them with their scoring needs.

    they should trade back to the 5-8 range and pick up another pick and get Barnes. but knowing the charlotte bobcats they will probably eff it up somehow.

    The bobcats are a good lesson for the "blow it up and get that top pick" crowd.

    Damn.

    Next year's draft will have some good bigs, along with a stud SG. They will be fine.

    I don't think Barnes is good enough to use the #2 on.

    It's gotta be MKG, at this point.
