The Charlotte Bobcats are " very active'' in various trade discussions around the NBA, according to a friend of mine in a front office. Considering who said that, I'm confident the perception is accurate and that if the fellow knew more he would have said. The guy said he's been told the Bobcats seem willing to increase their payroll if they can do something to significantly improve themselves. That suggests they're willing to take some financial risk. That surprises me a little, and I wish I knew the nuance. I got the sense owner Michael Jordan was pretty reluctant to go into luxury-tax territory, and I can't argue with that reasoning for a team slightly better than out of the playoffs and still losing lots of money. Maybe what they're talking about is more long-term financial commitment that spread the risk over several years. At minimum, it's obvious they're busy over there, a nice contrast with the sense of head-scratching a few weeks ago when coach Larry Brown was wondering whether he wants to come back. At least from the short time I've been around Brown the past week, he seems energized and engaged by the work. Larry's passion gets everyone else excited, and that's the energy they need to become viral. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 山猫正在积极参与交易讨论 据联盟办公室中的知情人士透露，山猫正在「非常积极地」参与一些交易讨论中，并且有 可能涉及到数支球队。 这一消息是山猫专栏作家Rick Bonnell在自己的博客中曝出的，而向他提供消息的是他的 一位朋友，也是一位「可靠的」消息来源。此外，这位消息人士还表示，山猫队希望补强 球队的实力，为此他们甚至愿意吃下一些大合同。 上赛季山猫队取得了44胜38负的战绩，并且队史首次打进了季後赛，而他们也希望能够通 过今夏的运作将球队的实力再提升一个档次。 看了好兴奋阿!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- ╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔══╗ ○ ║██◣╝║██◣║║██◣║╚███║║███║║██║ /╰ ★ ── ● ║█▅█╗║█▄▊╝║█▅█║║ ◢◤ ╗╚ ██ ╝║██╚╗( ＼/ ║█▅█║║█◥◣║║█ █║║█▅◣║╔███╗║███║ ╚═══╝╚═══╝╚═╚═╝╚═══╝╚═══╝╚═══╝ nyctenvoy --
