Jordan's approach is all business, why do you think he drafted adam morrison , and gave carrol some money to shhot the ball.
The audiences in memphis has to be catered too and jordan knows what that side of operations is all about.
Now picking talent to win from the draft is another issue.
Besides race as one factor for determining who to draft/sign, in the case of Charlotte, they also clearly went for local college heroes in Felton and May, and even McInnis.
This is not to say these are the ONLY factor, but I think it's fair to suggest that these are all considered.
Charlotte may be desperate for fans because when you go to their website the first page is almost always an ad for buying tickets, and are one of the few teams that do that (Atlanta, Wiz, GS, Houston, Philly, New Orleans, and Memphis being the other teams that have BLATANT ads before reaching the main page, however their ads are all for Holiday packages or merchandising where as Charlotte is for tonight's game).
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
