I think after a while people won't care. Afterall, you rooted for a team called the "Lakers" in LA. Thats a little...... well...... akward. 😬

Well, they were originally the Minneapolis Lakers, but they were moved, so anyone could understand why they're called that. Bobcats just sounds...stupid.

yes...and lakers is such a great name.

or supersonics. that just rolls off the tongue: Go supersonics!

But the Lakers sounds stupid and has no meaning in LA. They should have changed it. If Miami sold their team to Salem, Oregon, I wouldn't expect them to stay the Salem Heat.

Anyway, here is who they selected. No big names at all to trade.

F Lonny Baxter* Washington
G J.R. Bremer* Golden State
C Primoz Brezec Indiana
G Maurice Carter* New Orleans
C Predrag Drobnjak L.A. Clippers
F Desmond Ferguson* Portland
F Marcus Fizer* Chicago
G Richie Frahm* Seattle
F Brandon Hunter Boston
F Jason Kapono Cleveland
F-C Zaza Pachulia Orlando
F Aleksandar Pavlovic Utah
F Jamal Sampson L.A. Lakers
G Tamar Slay* New Jersey
F Theron Smith Memphis
G Jeff Trepagnier* Denver
F Gerald Wallace Sacramento
C Jahidi White Phoenix
C Loren Woods*

No suprise Charlotte didn't take any of the overrated overpaid players like Stackhouse and Houston.

It will be interesting to see what Gerald Wallace will do with more playing time. The guy is athletic as hell but since he can't make a jump shot to save his life he has been regulated to the King's bench for the last three years.

yes thats true theres noone on that list that is an eye openor but some of the players can be good in the future

you wannna talk about stupid names how about the utah jazz..there aint no jazz and utah (yes i know that they were orginally in new orleans)

The Utah Mormons 😆

I think the Cats will be led by Wallace, Fizer, and Emeka. Who do you guys think will be their top players this year?

wallace, fizer, and baxtor i dont think there gonna take emeka..they should go young with howard coz they aint gonna be good for a few years so many as well go young

I think Orlando is going to take Howard, thats why I said Okafor. Charlotte will take whoever of the 2 is left.

orlando would be crazy to pass on okefor...they need defense and he gives u that the GM for orlando said its 50/50 righ now between the two but they would be stupid to pass on him if you ask me

After recent tryouts, it sounds like there is a lot more upside to Howard. He should make more of an immediate impact than originally expected, he is younger leaving more room for improvement, and he is more of a diverse player.

Then again, Emeka is more of a sure thing, which is kind of what the Magic needs. Oh, I don't know.

the thing that i've heard about howard is that has the potential to be better than okefor in the long run but they said things like that about chandlor and kwame brown i think okefur is more of a sure thing too plus he can anchor your defense and the one thing the magic cant go without for another year is defense

lots of injury questions about okafor
