Darius Miles released, Rogers too

[ALong13]

Bobcats waived F Darius Miles.
Miles was never a good fit under Larry Brown in Charlotte. His gimpy knees have made his already weak defensive game even worse. Miles is probably done in the NBA.

didn't expect him to make the team, but really expected Rogers to be gone first. Didn't think Miles would add anything for us and with Najera back, hopefully he can fill some of the void down low.

EDIT: Nevermind, Rogers was cut too

The Charlotte Bobcats have waived Darius Miles and Matt Rogers, trimming the roster to the NBA maximum 15.

Coach Larry Brown cautioned that it's not yet definite the current 15 would all be on the roster for opening night in Dallas Wednesday. Obviously the team is concerned with the health of reserve point guards Shaun Linvingston and Sherron Collins. Brown had to use Boris Diaw extensively at point guard versus the New Orleans Hornets.

Livingston, who has missed all the exhibitions with left knee pain, said his goal is to play on opening night.

Brown said Miles, a veteran forward making a comeback from a severe knee injury, was caught in a numbers game of too many guaranteed contracts. Brown said he has no doubt Rogers, an undrafted rookie center, will eventually be an NBA player. Rogers could end up in the Developmental League or play in Europe for now

I think both moves were pretty much expected. The only move that really surprised me was keeping Collins over Crittendon, but we'll see how it works out.

I'd be surprised if Sherron makes it through November. I'm sad for Darius, I actually liked him, but I think he'll find a spot in Europe if not another NBA team.

Im not all taht concerned about Sherron but I did like Miles as well.

We are set at SF with so many people that can fill the position and Matt Rodgers is just not ready for the NBA but in a couple years he will. Waiving them was the most logical thing to do.

When do we ever pick up people that are NBA ready? This team has always been about picking up players that should probably be selling insurence or delivering my pizza
