Kwame Brown to sign with Bobcats

According to ESPN, C Kwame Brown will sign a 1 year deal worth the veteran's minimum with the Charlotte Bobcats. The signing will reunite Brown, the number one overall pick in 2001, with the man who drafted him, Michael Jordan.

Brown is known as one of the biggest draft busts in NBA history. Drafted straight out of high-school by Washington, he entered the league with sky-high expectations. However, his tenure with the Wizards was tumultuous, as he constantly sparred with the coaching staff and star Gilbert Arenas, while being unable to live up to Michael Jordan's expectations and tutelage. Considering how poorly Brown's first stint with MJ was, it's surprising that that they are joining forces again. Brown played for Detroit last season, where he averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. As his career winds down, he will forever be known as "the guy MJ drafted", and the main piece of the trade that sent Pau Gasol to the Lakers and propelled them to two straight championships (and counting).

There will be minutes available for Brown, as the Bobcats are entering the season with only Boris Diaw (who is terribly overweight), Tyrus Thomas (Stromile Swift clone), and Nazr Mohammad in the front court rotation. Unless Brown finally has a break out season, Charlotte will regress from their franchise high of 44 wins last year and be a borderline playoff team.

Let's look at what Michael Jordan and company has accomplished this offseason:

-Lost starting PG Raymond Felton for nothing
-Traded away starting C Tyson Chandler and former 1st round pick Alexis Ajinca for Erick Dampier's unguaranteed contract
-Resigned draft bust Tyrus Thomas to a deal they will start regretting after the first mid-range jumper he takes this season
-Signed Kwame Brown

This franchise is going nowhere.
