Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to everyone. I hope you at least take a moment of your time today to think and reflect on him and his impact through his words, actions and life.
And one final note: today's recap will be late. I have work at 5:30, so I'll hopefully be able to watch the full game before heading out, but I won't be able to write about it until about 10 or 11 p.m.

#Bobcats source confirms team is looking into extending D.J. White’s contract. This season ($2 million) is the last before restricted FA.
Smart move if true. Ill take White and they can ship out TT and Diaw

Awesome, awesome news.
I don’t agree with the “ship out TT” (because no one is going to want him) but he looks like he could be a really good role player for years to come (especially if he comes as cheap as he should).

Yep
I missed the GS game, but this looks like a different team.

I’m really starting to notice how much the Bobcats interior defense improves in the paint when Biyombo’s in the game.

Too many easy buckets
Without him…

#Bobcats had a discussion with Wizards about Andray Blatche, but will pass. Blatche owed 3 more seasons at $7.7M average.
Panther Pride 'till I die.
With him and Mullens we would have the best offensive front court in the league.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
And the worst defensive.

just saying the obvious. Writing was on the wall for DJ to be moved by the dead line when we drafted Kemba. No team needs to 6ft PG guards who shoot better then they defend

Why trade DJ so soon?

we either trade him before the dead line or get nothing in return. We wont match the offer he will likely get from another team

I highly doubt that.
It’s not like everyone in the league is going to be throwing big money at him.

they are going to thrown down more then we will be willing to match. He will likely get a offer of 4 years. We do not need to match that when Kemba is our PG going forward. Same situation we was in when we drafted DJ and Felton was coming up on FA

But the team wasn't
healthy salary cap wise at all at that point. I’m willing to trade DJ for a decent return, but these late round picks being tossed out aren’t fair value. I would rather take a player back than a late pick.

Dj is amazing
Sucks we drafted Kemba bc dj has the talent to be a top 5 PG

No one knew DJ would be this good. In hindsight we probably would have taken someone like Kawhi Leonard.

15 min ago “we sucked so much”. Now we should have drafted Leonard instead of Kemba. Dammit u

Would Kyrie Irving be better if he was a pass first point guard?
I noticed he’s a shoot first point guard.
Love to see the Cats attacking the paint
Keep up the aggressive play!

What do you guys think about Earl Clark as our backup SF?
He’s 6’10", has range, and can defend. Orlando is only playing him 5 minutes a game so I’m sure he wouldn’t be hard to get.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
I think he would be a good fit as a reserve here.

The Cavs announcer keeps calling it the Time Warner Cable Center
I guess that is better than being called the Hornets.

Nice Effort from a young team.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
I think rookie years are about showing flashes of greatness more than anything else. Kemba is showing flashes.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
How is that a kicked ball by Gibson? I’m furious.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
*not a kicked ball?

The different angle showed it hit his thigh.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
Nobody stopped the ball on the play
Transition D continues to be a problem…

I’m starting to get pretty pissed off at Byron’s shot selection.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
I'm glad the guy has confidence, but he's starting to get TOO confident.
Gotta keep it within the flow of the offense. He’s pretty one dimension.

I’m absolutely appalled at the thought of the number 7 overall draft pick not playing a single minute.
"With the third pick of the 2006 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select, Adam Morrison, Gonzaga."
Doesn't matter so much to me.
The purpose of this year is to play the young guys and watch them improve. Play BB, even if it means a hot hand goes to the bench.

Diaw's time
So Boris ended up being one of the players with the least amount of play time today. Pretty interesting, hm? Silas finally sending him a message? The balance we need with Diaw will be pretty interesting, because we need him to play some, and we need him to play well, in order to entice potential buyers (well, and I suppose for us to win games, too). At the same time, we don’t want him having terrible games or taking too much time away from our young core.
