    Wise Approach

    Aug 21 - In a perfect world, the Bobcats would re-sign Jeff McInnis and Derek Anderson and add veteran big man Adonal Foyle, recently bought out by the Golden State Warriors. Foyle isn't much offensively, but his shot-blocking would be handy when Emeka Okafor needs a rest.
    Bobcats GM Rod Higgins knows Foyle from his days in the Warriors' front office. A classy guy, Foyle would be a comfortable fit here.
    But none of those players figures to get more than the veteran minimum from another team. So the deliberate approach is the wise approach for the Bobcats as August becomes September.

    i like it i guess.

    foyle isnt the very best option but he could be a bench asset to replace Jake Voskhul. hes better and i believe would be cheaper than Voskhul, so i dont see how it could be awful for the Bobcats.
    It puts another big to spell Oak and May during the injuries or rest they need so im ok with that plan. Wise is the correct wording.

    lol, I think Foyle would be a good addition, especially considering the medical histories of our bigs. He also allows us to throw different looks at teams.

    By the way, John Feinstein wrote a book called Last Amateurs, detailing a couple of years of the Patriot League, where they have few scholarships and everyone on the team is a TRUE STUDENT/athlete. He mentions Foyle attending Colgate at the time.

    The book is quite interesting and I believe it spoke positively of Foyle, but I can't remember. The book's a great read if you're interested in the college basketball, especially if you appreciate guys who play solely for the love.

    [disclaimer: I'm the most jaded fan of college basketball you can imagine, to the point that I don't even really like college basketball. However, this book was still a great read!]
    SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
