    Owner Bob Johnson has given Jordan a deadline of Labor Day - next Monday - to either join the organization as team president and part owner or officially turn it down.

    It's the third such deadline that Johnson has given Jordan since they started discussing a deal in late May.

    Originally, Johnson needed a yes or no by July 1, when contracts of executives around the NBA expired and front-office free agency started. When Jordan wouldn't commit at that point, the deadline was extended - twice.

    There are no indications that Jordan will suddenly have a change of heart and decide to join forces with Johnson. If Jordan was going to take the job, he would have taken it long ago, and if the Bobcats had any realistic hopes that he would, they probably would have held off announcing season-ticket prices that have not been well-received.

    Still, a resolution has long been necessary, and so it will be significant when it finally happens

    I doubt Jordan accepts it either...........but there is still a small chance. To quote Jordan, who once said, "There's a 99.9% chance that I wont come back." - Well, we all know how that ended up. :mrgreen:
