Sports Illustrated's Steve Aschburner has created an interesting list here: Ranking the NBA teams from 1 to 30 in terms of their attractiveness to the general free-agent market.
The Bobcats come in at No.19, with this comment: "This ought to be a great spot to recruit players -- the area is hoops mad, the weather is terrific, there's a small-town feel to the place. But Michael Jordan's absentee or air-drop management doesn't make him the asset he could be and, let's face it, there is a sense that the Bobcats are trying to do things on the cheap."
Aschburner's list seems well-researched to me at first glance, and I think the Bobcats' ranking is probably about right. Here's his top 5: LA Lakers, Miami, Phoenix, Houston and Orlando.
Bottom 5? Sacramento, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Memphis and Minnesota.
