    Default Bigs avalible

    I was on InsideHoops looking at what bigs were still left in free agency. http://www.insidehoops.com/free-agents.shtml. Here's a list of free agents updated on Oct.22nd. There's barely any bigs left to pick up. Varejao is still out there I assume. I haven't seen anything on him going to Europe to play yet, but I think he would be asking for too much. Others out there are PJ Brown, Mike Sweetney, Lawernce Roberts, and Danny Fortson.
    I think getting Varejao would be great. Even though he's a flopper. I really wouldn't mind picking up any of those. We just gotta pick up a big body somewhere, and there's hardly anything left.
    If there's anyone else left out there that I didn't mention or some trade ideas that yall might have that would land us a big then post them here.

    Any trade ideas? Why certainly!

    My latest idea is to target a big from Indiana. They are right on the cusp of the luxury tax (if not slightly over) and have a few big guys.

    Figuring we have about 3.5 million under the cap:

    Foster/2nd for Harrington…they save around 3.1 million. He is projected to be their starter though…so I doubt this one.

    Buyout fatboy..hopefully for around 1.5 (which would give us approx. 5 million under the cap)

    Harrison for a 2nd adds about 1.7…plus the buyout would equal 3.2…only 800k more than our current salary.

    Diogu for a 2nd adds approx. 2.3 million plus 1.5 (Harrington buyout) equals 3.8…only 1.4 million more than our current salary.

    Vareajo wants a contract starting at 9 milion per year . Its no way any one will pay that . Clevland offered him a long term starting at six million . I don't think hes worth that much.
    I noticed Dale Davis still around . Ithink he could produce about 15 to 20 mins a game and would be great to help Davidson and Hollins.
    But we need to have a spot for him or any one else . I wish HARINGTON would retire.


    Thanks Ammofan!

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if Vareajo wants to play in the league this year, it will be with Cleveland. He was a restricted free agent, but the time for other teams to sign him to a tender offer has passed, and now he either can take Cleveland's qualifying offer for the season or...cross the pond?

    Oh, and of the players mentioned, PJ Brown would be my first choice (probably slightly biased from his time with the Hornets) and then it would be Mike Sweetney...if he lost 50 or 60 pounds. Hard to believe he was so good in college - guess it helps to not be obese.

    POB doesn't seem to be in their plans. They have Biedrins, and traded J-rich and all his salary for Brandan Wright.

    POB for a non top 20 1st round pick until 2010, unconditional after that?

    I'd love to get him though....

    "Aye, there's the rub." How 'bout a little Shakespeare to class this joint up, eh?
    "The Charlotte Hornets name has been a mainstay throughout the region for many years, and we are excited to announce our intention to re-establish this historic brand. We believe that its return will galvanize our fan base by unifying our loyal Bobcats fans with those who have strong memories of our city's NBA predecessor." MJ, 5-21-13

    Without swinging a trade I don't see us getting another big. We'll just wait for the lottery. Well hopefully we won't be in that but the draft anyways.
