First thing that came to my mind is the cats you see on funniest home videos...
Yup. Not very intimidating. Would you wear a jersey that says CATS? How about a jersey that says DOGS, or HAMSTERS, or PARAKEETS? Wake me up when Benson releases the Hornets naming rights.
P.S. Straight from the horse's mouth (Bob Bass, Hornets GM circa 1996), here is the angle on the 28-year-old-Vlade-for-a-just-finished-puberty-Kobe trade:
“Let’s start out this way, ” Bass said. “There had never been a high school player come into the league that didn’t play in the front court.”
“Secondly, 12 other teams passed on Kobe Bryant; 12 other teams said, ‘I don’t want him.’ The Nets even got a workout. He refused to work out with us. He didn’t work out with anybody. We had talks on the trade, but we didn’t make it for about 3 1/2 weeks. We had a chance to get a 7-foot-(1) center who had been very successful in the league.
“You add all those three things together, that’s why the decision was made. Plus, he couldn’t make a jump shot when he first came into the league. We won 54 the first year Divac was there and 51 the next year. The only problem with that (Hornets) team was Michael Jordan was in his hey-day and Patrick Ewing had that great New York team. And we were in the Eastern Conference. That’s what happened on that.”
yeah you can't really fault an owner for taking a proven NBA player over a kid.
I wouldn't wear any basketball jerseys because that's not my style but the font and colors are great.. It's just bad timing to shorten the name to CATS after going 7-59.
Change the name to ThunderCats.... might even trick some people into thinking we merged with OKC

I really like that move for the Cats. Gives them a shooter they DESPERATELY needed and now it opens up a spot for MKG to come on board and take spaghetti Magette's place in the starting lineup (not that Corey wouldn't be hurt and MKG be in there anyways, but...).
Barnes is gone before pick 5 IMO based purely on the belief that he'll be great, just like in college and being a preseason all-american as a freshman and sophomore.

I'm a Cavs fan and I got a strong feeling that the Bobcats are going to trade down and take Cavs 4th pick and another pick (they own #24, 33, 34 picks)so the Cavs can get Beal...

Really hope that happens. We can get either MKG or Robinson, one of them will be there and get another decent talent as well in this relatively deep draft.
