Mcinnis to sign 1-year contract with Bobcats

Finally! We last heard news of this roughly August 8th, and were left in the dark. Apparantly the contract will be worth 1.1 million (the veteran's minimum) instead of the predisposed 1.8 million.

Also, apparently the Phil Ford thing was blown out of proportion, as Tamburello has pointed out on previous posts. I think that this is the hard proof from the Bobcats about the situation.


Good signing guys, I think it'll work out well.

I'm glad this is finally taken care of. Now, what to do with the last roster spot? Give it to DA (Or god forbid AA), or find a big man?

Great news and im glad we finaly filled that roster spot. Another great move by Jordan and Bernie to hold out and force the player they wanted into vertran minimum. So far this off season we have made all smart moves.

I'm pleased to hear that we filled the back-up PG spot with Jeff McInnis for veteran minimum as we had expected. He was a natural candidate. Hopefully he won't be a cancer in the locker room as he did in his last days with Cavs. Now we have 14 guaranteed contracts.

I guess we'll use the final spot for Derek Anderson. We have 2 PG's, but none of our other players have the tools to bring the ball when these two are not on the court. We definitely need someone who can partially be used as an alternative PG. Derek Anderson would be a wise choice for that job. And if we find a good big man, we can let Othella Harrington go immediately. We still have the opportunity to add important contributors to the roster. We're on the right way.

Horrible signing.

Should have signed DA and Dee Brown instead.

Slam its not that bad its vetran min.I guess they want a vetran back up for Felton,To me it looks like a temp thing to get us through this year. But i would still like to have DA and a big . That means a trade . What do ya think.

Hell Yea, took a while, but we we got him to agree to the Vet min....Happy about the signing, I think we need another PG, we got a lot of bigs, and if one could step up defensively as well as Okafor...then we'll be a very good team...

I think they have been working towards a trade of some sort all along, a back up point was needed so signed one that already knows the team, now to get a big and like you say that means a trade.

Good move... more minutes this year than last and he should be great in an uptempo offense
