It is looking more and more like we are going to cut the Dust chip

I think two or three of thease guys could help.

I would love to have Flip back . Collins will never be starter material.
Admundsun , The guy is instant energy.
Thoughts

Are we not signing Flip or Larry? Were gonna miss having one of them.

I would love to see us get Amundson as well.

Josh Boone or Earl Barron would be better options than Dampier if we do just cut him. They would be cheaper and are younger. I think both have long term potential to become starters and have both actually proven that they have 'the goods'. Louis Amdunson is the best option if he is willing to play more center than power forward this year. If he is we should sign him.

I also think signing Collins over Earl Watson or Roger Mason (when he was still a free agent) was a mistake. Both of those guys know how to get it done. All our point guards are inexperienced and have issues (DJ-confidence/ability to run a team, Livingston-knee, Collins-weight/rookie) and either of those guys would provide stability off the bench.

Boone and Barron both show lots of upside at the center position. Though im not sure either is better than Damp RIGHT NOW?

I compleatly agree with you on taking vetran point. Even if we just signed Flip i would feel better at the point.


I really like Amdunson and Diogu at power foward . But i don't think either could play center?


Does any one know if Mcquire and Collins has a garnteeded contract and if we are showing ANY instrest in signing UPS . As far as i know UPS is not signed . Or hasn't got a invite to summer camp .

Really would want Amdunson or Collins. Haven't seen anything from Boone to make him worth it.

[G-Force]

If possible...

Trade Diaw for tJ Ford(expiring) +2nd rounder
Sign Diogu as a backup PF
Waive Dampier
Sign E.Barron at C

I really like Barron. He's big, something we lack. And was averaging a double double when he was starting for the Knicks toward the end of last season. Hopefully that will carry over.

These trades and signing will ease the financial situation. We can't continue going over the cap for mediocracy. The bobcats needs to plan for the future.

Toine shimmying to Charlotte, but for how long?

Antoine Walker hasn’t had a job in the NBA for nearly 21 months.

He doesn’t have a known invite to an NBA training camp, either, with just two weeks to go before most teams are scheduled to assemble for Practice No. 1 of the new season.

But Walker does have a former college teammate and very close friend that plays for the Charlotte Bobcats, whose new owner isn’t just a living legend but another longtime Walker pal.

So it certainly made some sense when word reached Stein Line HQ on Sunday night that Toine is expected to arrive in Charlotte this week to stay with Bobcats center Nazr Mohammed, his buddy and fellow Kentucky Wildcat, and join in daily pickup games at the Bobcats’ facility leading up to the start of camp on Sept. 28.

Emphasis on some.

Yer i just read that, was about to post it. I never watched this guy play really, does he have anything left in the tank?

[spectre]

I never liked him in his prime, so I imagine it'd be even less so now.

I never liked him in his prime, so I imagine it'd be even less so now.

Especially with no playing time over the last 20 months. I remembered him as an overweight, crybaby. That had some offense, very little defense and a sense of entitlement.
