"A caution about the Charlotte Bobcats: Anything you see, hear or read about this team should be stamped with the label "Subject to change."

Is Bismack Biyombo really an NBA center? Subject to change. Is Boris Diaw a reserve? Subject to change. Can D.J. Augustin and Kemba Walker play in the same backcourt successfully? Subject to change.

That's how it should be for a team that lost 12 of its first 15 games and doesn't figure to be dramatically better in the remaining 50 or so this season. I believe coach Paul Silas means it when he says this group will be a better team in a month. I just don't know how much difference that will make in the record.

So both Silas and president of basketball operations Rod Higgins should be scanning their options, trying different combinations and searching for trades. Don't change for change's sake, but this team is still a work in progress.

That's why I don't get all that excited when D.J. White plays well in one game, then doesn't play in the next. Or when Biyombo sits out against Cleveland, then has a featured role guarding Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard."
