So far, Michael Jordan's tenure with the Bobcats has been a disappointment. His role has never been clear. He's been fined for commenting on Durant, criticized for his exclusive access to high school stars, and attempted to whitewash the job he did in the Wizards' front office. But at least you couldn't say he's actively gotten in the way. Until now, that is. With Vince Carter likely to opt out of his contract this summer, and Bobcats in desperate need of a scorer, Charlotte should be a likely destination. Factor in his affinity for the state of North Carolina and the franchise's ample cap space, and this might as well be a done deal.
There's one problem, though: bad blood between Jordan and Vince. From Rick Bonnell's Inside the NBA:
Vince Carter was pretty chilly Saturday night, when I asked him how he'd react if Michael Jordan recruits him in free agency this summer.In case you've forgotten, once upon a time Jordan criticized Carter's lack of defense. MJ is notoriously frank, and Vince incredibly sensitive. With Bonnell claiming that "it was clear from his remark Saturday that Carter is still wounded by Jordan's shot," we'll see if Jordan actually ends up hurting the Bobcats with his presence.
"I doubt that he would," Carter replied, and you could almost see his breath for the frigid tone.
