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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 山貓正在積極參與交易討論 據聯盟辦公室中的知情人士透露，山貓正在「非常積極地」參與一些交易討論中，並且有 可能涉及到數支球隊。 這一消息是山貓專欄作家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」消息來源。此外，這位消息人士還表示，山貓隊希望補強 球隊的實力，為此他們甚至願意吃下一些大合同。 上賽季山貓隊取得了44勝38負的戰績，並且隊史首次打進了季後賽，而他們也希望能夠通 過今夏的運作將球隊的實力再提升一個檔次。 看了好興奮阿!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- ╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔═══╗╔══╗ ○ ║██◣╝║██◣║║██◣║╚███║║███║║██║ /╰ ★ ── ● ║█▅█╗║█▄▊╝║█▅█║║ ◢◤ ╗╚ ██ ╝║██╚╗( ＼/ ║█▅█║║█◥◣║║█ █║║█▅◣║╔███╗║███║ ╚═══╝╚═══╝╚═╚═╝╚═══╝╚═══╝╚═══╝ nyctenvoy --
