Reading the comments here have me laughing. The pick improvement is just the cherry on top.

Hawks - "ok look, please agree. We'll improve your pick too ok?"
bobcats - "and courier us a bag of doritos?"

I'm just here to make fun of everyone (including Marc Spears!) that keeps forgetting that the Hornets became the Pelicans and the Bobcats became the Hornets. It's been 4 years and 3 years, respectively!

I will just say that in BF's defense, the current Hornets franchise is "technically" the former Charlotte Hornets franchise as well.

When the New Orleans franchise became the Pelicans, they agreed to relinquish the franchise history from the Charlotte years and so it reverted back to the new Charlotte franchise. In essence making New Orleans an expansion team starting in '02 and Charlotte ceasing operations for '02-'04.

While I get what you're saying, BF is correct on a much-after-the-fact technicality.

Remember the "Stay D12" campaign?
Dude is a bum, so glad we never signed him to a lengthy contract.


We actually wanted this guy to stay. Our franchise is really in shambles.

What does this mean? AB was injury prone, but when 100% healthy he was a beast.

You're still not supposed to admit this.

My favorite memory of AB was when he played vsBoston without being able to jump. 'nuff said.

Didn't even catch the Bobcats bit by Spears, until I re-read your comments a 2nd time.

I had to pause for a second when reading the thread to remember which hornet and bobcats is which these days.
