Jordan will not be part of The Bobcats.

[Jackal]

“After careful consideration, Michael Jordan and I have concluded that Michael will not become an investor or hold a front office position with the Charlotte Bobcats. The possibility of having the greatest icon in the history of the game as a member of our organization was one that we pursued to its fullest, but Michael ultimately decided that his goal is to be a majority owner of an NBA franchise, and we wish him the best in that pursuit. As we look ahead, Ed Tapscott will continue assembling a first-class basketball operations staff, led by a general manager who Ed will hire in the near future.”

Jeez, I didnt even KNOW they had a Site...

the greatest icon in the history of the game

He has got that right

[Full Surface]

Jordan should buy one of the existing franchises. I'd like to see him buy the Clippers though. He's one of the richest people in the world and could probably meet Sterling's price (if he decides to sell it).

[madskillionaire]

the thing is...as its been said, and ive seen myself....well i put it like this:

Jordan-Greatest Player
Jordan-BAD OWNA (Owner)

its like...hes unlucky when buying teams...and who knows that the bad luck isnt still lurking

[Andrew]

MJ probably won't be an owner in the immediate future, as it seems he's looking to be a majority owner and no one is looking (publically, at least) to sell controlling interest in their team right now.

[magius]

just let him buy the bulls already. yeesh.

is cartwright president? if so leave him there.

jordan for owner, cartwright for president, scottie gm, kerr coach, kukoc assistant coach, and rodman head chearleader.

jordan for owner, cartwright for president, scottie gm, kerr coach, kukoc assistant coach, and rodman head chearleader.

That would be great!

(But doubt it would happen )

John Paxson is the GM right now.

Michael Jordan please give us all some rest.

[Stevan]

Michael Jordan please give us all some rest.

...yeah because he's being dominating the headlines since retiring

Well MJ would be good in Chicago because he can run things from... *drumroll* Chicago. Any other franchise, and there'd be complaints that he's not involved enough because he's running things from home. I don't think there's anything with the Bulls he could do though, and he probably wouldn't except a minor type of position (or maybe he would for a short period?). Reinsdorf will never sell up either, a franchise that sucks in the standings yet is one of the league's best in attendance is pretty rare. They're on the way up too

[Andrew]

Reinsdorf might sell, but not a controlling interest. But yeah, with Paxson in charge of basketball operations, there isn't really a role for MJ at this time.

[Stevan]

what about if Benny the Bull retires?

I suppose if MJ was patient he could buy into the Bulls now (if Reinsdorf was to sell a piece of the pie), and maybe eventually be allowed to purchase a controling share.

[Andrew]

I don't know if MJ would want that though. He wouldn't have much of a role for some time, and he seems pretty intent on being involved in basketball operations.

Somebody who is interested in a job with the Bobcats is Bernie Bickerstaff:
