I really like the idea of philly's press conference because it gets more involvement in the league and I know they will be getting asked for more questions however I will open the floor to any questions,
- Michael Jordan has walked up to the podium and will now be answering questions about the Bobcats.

No luck in the lottery and stuck at 14, what are you looking for at that pick? SF to replace Mashburn, a SG to start over Flip? or are you planning to move the pick?

well, we are happy to have 2 first rounder's as we own the spurs pick. As of right now our team has a solid core of Pau the mvp, okafor, and andre miller but lack depth. We will most likely look to trade up and see from there but a 2/3 is a guy we will be looking at but we would not hesitate to take Acie Law if he drops.

Are you looking to move any one on your roster specifically?
Does Pau Gasol want to stay on this team?

After the season we went from lotto to just missing the playoffs. We will have a ton of cap room and our biggest need is a 2 and 3 with carter and pierce looking like free agents and we will have enough to offer 1 of them the max contract. Also after talking to my team, Okafor might be on his way out because he was not happy with Pau getting all the attention. Pau had one of the best season's in the history of the league so it would take an amazing offer to deal him.

Rumors are swirling and a big trade might occur in Charlotte.

Are there any chance that if the Bobcats do receive young Andrew Bynum that he may get traded away again.
and also how comfortable is Gasol right now, is he happy just winning the MVP or is his desire to win a title is even more grasping to him.

If the trade does go through, We will be Happy to add Bynum to our roster. He wouldn't be "untouchable" but he would be very difficult to get since we think his potential rivals any big man in the league.
Pau is very comfortable with our team. He likes the direction we are going. We had the #1 pick in last year's draft and decided to trade it for him. He is very happy to have won such a great award but now he wants the ring to go along with his trophy, but he knew it wouldn't happen over night wich is why we thank Pau for being so patient.

How do you see in Nick Young that made you decide that he will fit into your team? Do you feel that Gabe Pruitt will be able to come in and contibute this season or do you think he is a bit of a project?

Nick Young was our realistic target the whole time. There were rumors swirling that he would be gone before us so we were holding our breath. Nick will likely be our opening day starter with JJ redick spliting time behind him. We feel having those 2 is just an amazing combo as Nick Young is so explosive and athletic as he was compared to Vince Carter at times. JJ can shoot the lights out of the ball and those 2 combined is just scary.
Next Pruitt is a great fit, as of today he would be the 3rd pg but we see that changing shortly. Pruitt and Young played together last season at USC and fit very well together so we are glad we got the teammates. He should be able to contribute this season and we feel like he will be the steal of the draft.
