charlotte and atl are one trade away from making a run at the playoffs (milwaukee is going to get redd back soon). there's a slim shot they can win the lottery too but they would need to lose big time to catch memphis or boston.
do you think they should make a move? something like may + 2008 #1 for vince? or childress + 2008 #1 for bibby?

i can only speak for charlotte as i watch them almost as much as i watch the knicks. if i were them, i wouldn't look to tinker too much with the roster per se....especially if it means giving up someone like felton, ok4, wallace or ammo.....i believe, like toronto (who albeit is a bit farther along than charlotte in terms of experience and talent level), the bobcats are a solid young team that will become good if they can keep their best assets together. the most important thing for them is hiring a coach with good fundamentals that can teach them how to play the game 'the right way'.
if the nets would agree to take anyone else from charlotte's roster other than the 4 i mentioned above, then let's get vince. charlotte is pretty good cap-wise and vince would close out his career in NC where he played college ball, he would again be matched with a pointguard in phelton who would get him the ball consistently and he could potentially (i say potentially b/c let's face it, vince has never been labeled as someone who likes to take youth under his wings and teach) help that team get to the next level.
all you would need now is larry brown as coach and my boooooobcats would make a serious playoff run in 2 years.

I like that childress for bibby deal, it opens room for them to move artest and miller and get some quality talent in there. With Kevin Martin and Childress they have two nice starters and could probably rebuild in a couple of years...
Billy knight is so bad, had they just taken foye this year after not taking paul last year they would be set, thank god though because they would own us for the rest of the decade.....
