Larry Brown has an infatuation with Bobcats veteran point guard Brevin Knight, the 30-year-old New Jersey product who dished out 11 assists vs. the Knicks. The Knicks would have to give Charlotte a young player or draft pick in return and Thomas doesn't want to deviate from rebuilding.  

"Brevin got everybody the ball, he made good decisions and they made shots," Brown said.

Robinson said he's heard all of Brown's digs and the weight of the demands are crushing him. "You feel like Atlas," Robinson said. "You have the whole world on your shoulders."
