    Default What to do with the open roster spot

    Now that we have an open roster spot following the Hammer & Twiggy for Diop trade, what do you LB and Bobcats management will do with it?
    Snag someone out of the D-League? If so, who are the likeliest candidates?
    If not that, do we leave it open until another deal goes down?

    What do you think?

    My hope is there is another deal going down and we fill it with someone LB really wants and has a plan for using. That would be nice. Cannot see us filling it with a D-Leager or signing someone currently out of the league. That has too much potential to be just be a waste of $ and a roster spot. I trust LB to get someone he wants.

    I want to use that spot to help facilitate another trade...maybe get a pick and/or move Nazr in the process. Another wing who could play both the 2 & the 3 with potential would be nice.

    Use the damn advantage for once.

    I think another trade is coming up where they are going to combo felton/nazr and we are going to get 2-3 players back

    i'd rather combine nazr and felts for a quality sg over quantity that brings 3 players back. we're stacked down low so i'm hoping the combo of two of our players nets us 1 really good shooter/scorer. i don't know what happened with livingston in memphis/miami/wherever, but i wonder how bad that knee is. at 23 years old and his height, i wouldn't mind bringing him in to help with dj14 and singletary. if his injury is another may situation then i don't know who to pursue in the d or free agency.

    I say we do a combination of things with it actually... Lets bring up the best 2 guard the D-league has to offer (don't ask I have no clue who that is, I know Coby Carl isn't too bad and has good NBA experience) on a 10 day contract...if they are good go for one more 10 day....THEN if we want that guy who now should have 10-12 games (didnt look at our next 20 days but we are starting to get heavy into the season where we play lots) and can decide if we do a 2 for 3 trade or f we do a 2 for 2 trade and keep our new D-League player... Money isn't the object, because a D-League player gets something like $40k on a 10 day contract (I think its min salary times the number of games they play actually) and we can drop them at a moment's notice if a trade we cant pass up comes along.
    What to do, what to do...

    Coby Karl...George Karl's (LB's good UNC buddy) son.

    Intriguing thought. Isn't he just like Hammer?

    I was under the impression that he had good handles as well, I always thought he was a PG with the Lakers. he's 6-5, so he could handle playing SG (if I'm right about him being a PG).
