Re: Bobcats not on the market for big-name free agents.

If a big name player like Joe Johnson, or Ray Allen could come to Charlotte the team would really take off. Last season, we were a bit short on rebounding (outside of Okafor, no one knows how to secure a rebound which doesn't help at all when the entire opposing team makes an effort to boxes him out), and scoring (Brevin Knight is nice and all, but its hard to get somewhere when your a PG who can't score). This season, we draft Raymond Felton, who is terrific if this team favors a more uptempo style, and Sean May, who really helps our frontline on the boards. Felton is a better scorer, than Knight and he is a good defender who will not hesitate to get up on someone's grill. May improves interior defense, where Primoz Brezec was just... Primoz Brezec. You put May there who can guard a man, play good help defense, Okafor can come off his man and block more shots and be more of an intimidator, the more I think of it, the more I think this draft is pretty good. With this team, I could easily see it doubling it's win total from last season. And if it seems that hard to draw free agents because the Bobcats suck, it doesn't seem that hard anymore. Felton is a good PG who can destroy teams with his uptempo and aggressive style, the team is good defensively, with a coach who really got the best out of his palyers last season, an experienced player who can score and bring leadership might be able to put this team in position to compete for a playoff spot. We lost 16 games by 3 or less points last season, due to not having a go-to scorer, Okafor was always doubled, and inexperience.
