So that's what Michael Jordan does for the Bobcats ... he writes letters. Michael spent his entire day today hammering away on his Smith-Corona, and I bet he's going to be spending all day tomorrow stuffing envelopes.MJ composed a letter that will be sent to Bobcats season ticket holders sometime this week, explaining why the Bobcats still suck, and what he plans to do about it.
"As excited as I am about the future, if you know anything about me, you know how much I hate to lose -- and I speak for all the owners in that regard," wrote Jordan, the team's managing member of basketball operations. "But we are able to temper this disappointment with thoughts of our youth and inexperience, and the idea that we will continue to improve -- hopefully, more quickly than even we expect.Two ways to look at this. The optimistic way is that it means the Bobcats have targeted this summer as the one where they feel they have a solid enough foundation built that it makes sense to go spend some money (hello, Vince Carter). The pessimistic view is that it's purely a PR move, hoping to give season ticket holders a reason to hang around for another year.
"With that said, we remain committed to our plan to grow the franchise through the draft and the addition of key free agents."
In other MJ news, there were reports in Vegas this weekend that Michael is considering buying a house in Charlotte. He must have a job there or something.

Is mj an employee of the bobcats? I didn't think so.
If the Bobcats get Vince Carter, I would "work" the streets of downtown Charlottle Pretty Woman style to get those season tickets.
It's easy to hate on the Bobcats, but they are in a position right now that I think 80-90% of the league would love to be in: way under the cap with a couple inexpensive prospects and a highly enviable lottery location for two of the best prospects in the last decade.
Not only could they potentially make a killing in the free agent market, but they're on of the only teams that can trade Breven Knight straight up for Jason Kidd and have it work under the cap rules (just an example).
You know you have it good when the league mandates that you spend 12 million dollars to get to the salary 'minimum'.
Lucky 'Cats.
I wouldn't want to be a season ticket holder, though. Not yet anyway.
