Kwame Brown signs with Bobcats

[kentatm]

Kwame agrees to one-year minimum deal w/Bobcats to try to "create a new chapter," according to Bartelstein, after unhappy Wiz chapter w/MJ - espn

Interesting, I wonder if this means a Dampier move is in the works?

I'm guessing they are just going to cut him for the savings and not re-sign him.

[no pun intended]

Dampier could be likely to start for the Bobcats as center while Kwame will be a reserve. Oh sh!t, I forgot Jordan is with the Bobcats...I hope this decision will be his best. I would like to see Kwame breakout.

lol

[Dasher]

At this point Kwame is the better player. If Charlotte can not get anything for Damp, I expect them to cut him, and for him to sign with a contender who needs 6 fouls and 10-15 minutes.

this picture is so applicable and useful in many ISH discussions. its uncanny :lol

[Bodhi]

Jordan is going to make him cry again in practice.

Actually that's probably why he signed him in the first place.

As a Bulls fan, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't pick him up. We have no good backup centers and he would've been serviceable.

[BFRESH44]

Waiting patiently until Big Damp is realeased from the Bobcats, so he can sign with the Heaters. :pimp:

[Apocalyptic0n3]

As big of a bust as he has been, this is a good signing for Charlotte. I mean A REALLY good signing. He's one of the very few true centers in the league and can be a huge defensive presence. With Larry Brown as his coach, expect him to really prosper and be the starter on that team within no time at all.

I don't think that's going to happen.

Teams that will be trying for Damp:
-Atlanta
-Cleveland
-Denver
-Detroit
-Miami
-Milwaukee
-San Antonio
-Toronto
-Utah

[InspiredLebowski]

Shit I'd take Kwame for the vet's min if Indy had the roster space. Not a bad signing at all.

Looking forward to seeing you eat crow.

He's not a bad player. Just a bad #1 pick.

[Se]

I won't be. Kwame showed some good work ethic and some damn good defense in his two years with Detroit. If he can stay in Brown's good books, I'd bank on him being the starter for most of the year. He's easily better than freaking Diop and Nazr. I doubt Dampier will be there opening night, too. Pretty easy bet that he starts.

I'll start boiling the water for the crow. I assume you want it boiled? :roll:

[mayo'sgrizz]

i think charlotte will make it back to the playoffs again this yr. they r a well rounded eam and feel tht with the size theyve picked up it will only help the overall success of the team

:roll: :roll:

Kwame probably doesn

[wally_world]

CHAMPIONSHIP :lol















But seriously, Kwame is a decent player. Bust he might be, but he's still a solid 2nd big off the bench.

[jbryan1984]

Good signing for Charlotte. Kwame going to have a breakout year while MJ laughs and says I told you so!

[hawkfan]

Interesting, I wonder if this means a Dampier move is in the works?

Probably getting released, and then Dampier will join the Spurs or Heat to go after a ring.

[hawkfan]

Way to go Hawks and miss out on Kwame.

Woot woot!

[hawkfan]

If Kwame gets his act together, he can be the Bobcats starting center and become the player Ervin Johnson was during his prime in Milwaukee - tough defender of the paint, shot blocker, solid rebounder, solid energy player on offense.

Book it. It's his starting spot at center, if he plays well. And he's got a real shot.

[jrong]

The NBA, where the sequel to Michael Jordan-makes-Kwame-Brown-cry happens....

[QuebecBaller]

Kwame, Dampier, Diop, Nazr... Too many C for one team

[jaydacris]

[QUOTE=R.I.P.]:roll: :roll:

[bagelred]

I've got to say...MJ has some cojones to again associate himself with his biggest failure of his NBA career, the Kwame selection.

I'm surprised Kwame hasn't been picked up sooner. There are alot worse bigman stiffs on the rosters than Kwame.

[bdreason]

I bet Damp ends up back with the Mavs.

[RaceBannana]

Jordan: "Where is my anti-stress Kwame?"

[VIP2000]

Kwame, Dampier, Diop, Nazr... Too many C for one team

Dampier is as good as gone.

It was the same thing last year, just with Ratliff and Chandler.

oh... so true

[B-Easy8]

Hopefully Brown plays Kwame, Tyrus and Gerald together. That's a very good defensive frountcourt.

[HylianNightmare]

he's gonn start and have a breakout season for the cats

[Mamba]

if the cats cut dampier, i would love the heat to pick him up. would make heat's team defense alot tougher

[2LeTTeRS]

I called this move a week or 2 ago. Kwame still is reasonably young, and has proven himself to be able to affect games with his D. I like this signing.

I actually like it too. Nazr will definitely be the starter at the beginning but having Kwame off the bench won't be a bad thing. At worst he will put up Chandler-like stats at 1/10 the cost. And he's better than Diop. Hell I'm better than Diop.

Now if we can just sign Adam Morrison and we will have MJ's 2 biggest busts together on the same team.:rockon:

[VishaltotheG]

You have Kurt Thomas lol.

Old as hell, short as hell, although he can still play and be a mentor. A bigger body would be perfect as a backup C on the Bulls.

[insidehoops]

Signing became official today:

good move. hes not great offensively, but dude is a solid rebounder and defender.

If Kwame got rid of those butter fingers its a very good sign

[Kujo]

Peeps still think Kwame is going to have a breakout season? :roll:

Anyway, a low risk signing. He's a serviceable backup C when he gets limited minutes.

Ervin ran the floor really well , trying to stay in front of his assignment for the defensive end.
Kwame had Collin's under his freshman year , then Jackson in LA , now he has the master teacher in Brown.
I'd say if he doesn't average 28 minutes and 10 boards and 1.5 blocks a game and 3 fouls , his career will be over.
I hope he does well, and i think L.Brown has the juice to get that out of K. Brown ... and i would have to think MJ probably has mello'ed enough to use Kwame in practice instead of a whipping post , a guy to loosen'up the locker room. from what the Lakers said he was a great locker room team mate.

I'm still waiting for it. He'll lead the Bobcats to a title next season, regular season MVP and finals MVP.

Kwame to the Bobcats is sticky worthy?

MJ is NOT letting him go. :lol

No he's not and its not close.

Brown is not good at defense either. He can defend his own guy in the post, but he drops rebounds with his small hands and doesn't undestand off ball or team defense. No offensive game. He's a body, a backup to Nazr Mohammed, teaming with Diop. Dampier was acquired as a trade chip and/or salary relief. He was never going to stay for 13 mil. Kwame is 10 mil cheaper.
