Financially it would be a bad idea. Charlotte is not going to run to see a mediocre team with nothing to look forward to (Which has been the case for that team before Jordan's ownership) what a NBA team needs to sell tickets is a superstar. They will have a top 5 pick, just because they don't get the #1 pick doesn't mean they can't get the next elite player.
I wouldn't trade Davis for Howard. The nets are a joke of a team anyway. They are worse than the bobcats by far. Like their mayor said: good riddance. I certainly hope Davis doesn't go to the nets or the kings. Honestly, I'd rather see Davis with the rockets more than most teams. But my preference is Cleveland. Davis and Kyrie would be a GREAT team to watch.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7...ed-more-michael-jordan-time-charlotte-bobcats Larry Brown talks Bobcats time It was only a few years ago that Larry Brown had the Bobcats in the playoffs, but Charlotte is poised to become the worst team in league history and the coach had some thoughts Wednesday on what went wrong during his tenure there. Brown said on "The Dan Patrick Show" that he experienced communication problems with team owner Michael Jordan and then was devastated when he was fired. "It's one thing for me to get fired, but I have four or five assistants and they're out there not able to work," said the 71-year-old Brown, who was named SMU coach this week. "And it was the worst. And when your hero fires you... I just couldn't believe it. You know I love the guy, think he's brilliant, but he's around people who don't have a clue. And they won't challenge him. And the more you challenge him, the more you get from him. "I was sick about it. I haven't spoken to him since. I don't like seeing what's going on." In 2009-10, Brown guided the Bobcats to a 44-38 record and their only playoff appearance. After a slow start the next season, Jordan replaced Brown with Paul Silas. That team finished 34-48. "I'm sick about it because we made the playoffs the first time they ever made the playoffs. We got rid of Raymond Felton without getting anything back -- one of the greatest kids I ever coached in my life. We got rid of Tyson Chandler who only played 50 games or so for us." Jordan has been blasted for some of his personnel moves over the years, infamously drafting high schooler Kwame Brown No. 1 when he was in the Washington Wizards' front office. Brown says it's not a lack of knowledge of the game that hurts Jordan. "When I was able to visit with him and pick his brain, he knows, but he's got people around him that just make you sick," Brown said to Patrick. "And it was not comfortable. It was almost like there were spies wondering what you were doing and getting back to him. I should have spent more time face to face with Michael because I do see the passion. I think he's hurt right now. "We all make bad decisions. This draft thing is not a perfect science, but when I talk to him about players, you know strengths and weaknesses, what we need to do to be successful, he's right on point. But he has all these other people that will get in the way, and you can't do it like that." This season's Charlotte team is 7-57, has lost 21 straight and needs to defeat the Magic Wednesday or the Knicks on Thursday to avoid going into the record books as the owner of the league's worst-ever winning percentage. The 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers hold the mark at .110, going 9-73 in that full season, but a 7-59 finish in this strike-shortened season would leave the Bobcats at .106. "We don't want to be the worst team in NBA history. We know that in the back of our minds going into these next two games," point guard D.J. Augustin said after scoring 15 points in a 101-73 loss at Washington on Monday. The Bobcats have lost 10 straight on the road and haven't won anywhere since beating Toronto at home March 17. One of Charlotte's rare wins, though, came against Orlando on March 6, a 100-84 home victory that ended a six-game skid in the series. It was Charlotte's ninth win in 31 games against the Magic. The Bobcats fell to 2-13 all-time in Orlando with a 96-89 loss Jan. 17 in their lone visit this season.
The 92-93 Mavericks were really bad: * 14.7 point differential * 11-71 record * At one point in the season they were 4-57 * Losing streaks of 12, 15, and 19 in the same season
If I thought Williams was going to stay, I'd trade Davis in a hearbeat. I'd like to see Davis on the Bobcats (Biyombo and Davis really has me salivating, plus they're in the East) but I think the Hornets or the Nets will get him (Hornets will probably have the Twolves pick win it all so that they have 1st and 6th). I doubt the pick goes to Cleveland, because Cleveland had the pick last year.
