No Carmelo, Chauncey, Thompson, or TJ. Just dust, and a lot of cap space.

Crap that sucks

Mike, if you are cash strapped, you should not have bought the damn team.

im kinda upset with this. i know it will help us in the long run with the cap space but in retrospect i dont think anyone would like getting matt carrol and najera for okafor. i know it had everything to do with $$$, but i was hoping we could get a decent impact player for our team with damp.

Thanks Bobcats. Way to run an organization. i feel a lot better about my decision to buy season tickets, knowing that you didnt have to go over the luxury cap and spend money. It makes my decision to spend money on you a whole lot easier.

So let me get this straight. Had Okafor, traded him for Chandler, traded him for Dampier, cut him for money. solid work guys. go play some golf.

So we ended up swapping TC's expiring (and Ajinca!) of 13 million, took on Carroll & Nagera's combined 17.5 million over 3 years just to get under the tax.

I do think we were after CP and I commend the FO for taking the gamble...but damn.

Frees up 2.2 mil for Flip...

...and in turn gives us an "intimidated" PG.

Just kidding! I liked Flip. We could do worse with that 2.2 I guess. That C position still looks mighty pitiful though.

Well, I hope we are pleasantly surprised by the developement of DJ, Hendo and UPS. For us to get back to the playoffs, they are going to have to step it up.

Hey...Earl Watson is still out there. He'd be a good deal at 2.2 million.
