LB wants Felton AND May back!

[teej]

WTF?

Bobcats coach Larry Brown says he'd like both back. Yes, May, too, despite his weight problems and his limited contributions this season.

Michael (Jordan, the team's managing partner) likes him, I like him. I still don't think he's really ready to play, and he might disagree with that. I really think this is a big summer for him, and summer started yesterday

Kinda wierd...but if we get him cheaper then 3.6 I'm all for it

I want Felton back, but I really don't want May back...not unless he can get healthy and prove to be able to play more than 6 minutes...

Did he say "I want May back" or did he indicate he wants to buy a Maybach?

I hope we get both back. We have gone through it with May for this long might as well see if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. He seems to be mostly healthy now and doing some work if he has lost 50 pounds. Even the qualifying offer is probably worth the risk.

Felton had a really good year I thought. Last year you could almost write him down to go 3/10 in the box score. There was a sprinkling of that this year but he had a lot of good nights to and more than a few great ones. He is one of the better guards on D as well.

The situation is different with Felton, who finally established himself as the Bobcats' starting point guard. The Bobcats would have to make a qualifying offer of about $5.5 million this summer to restrict Felton's free-agency. That seems a virtual given.

“He had a phenomenal year. He's done everything we asked,” Brown said of Felton pre-game. “He wants to be around and I'm confident things will work out.”

Great to see that Felton has earned LB's trust, and it's nice justification for him after the lame coaches before LB kept questioning his PG abilities. Now that he has a good backup in DJ let's re-sign him and be set for a while.

In regards to May, I'm glad that I went back and re-read the article as I first took it to mean management "hadn't ruled out" offering the QO. Instead, May has heard "nothing".

Hopefully something like 2 yr/2 million deal with the 2nd being a player option...let him show he deserves a real contract.

The QO for May is the safest bet... It leaves him as an expiring contract right when some clubs would take ANY expiring to dump salary for the summer.

But that, combined with a new Felton contract (or even just his QO) plus the contract for our 1st round draft pick combined with the other salaries we are on the hook for would push us to within 2-3 million of the luxury tax.

I do not want May back. After seeing that he has appeared to have gained back his '10 pounds' and was huffing and puffing after a couple minutes on the floor, showing me how out of shape he was, i no longer want him to be on the team.

I was a believer that May could play for us too, after he lost his 'goal weight' i was ecstatic. But it appears he has no self displine and cannot keep the weight off. Millions of average Americans have this problem, but i dont want a average American playing for the Bobcats, i want a actual NBA player.

I dont know and I could be wrong but I think May has something to show us this next year or LB wouldnt have said the things he has said about him.. I think May's knee wasnt 100% and LB knew it so they just had him ride the bench and lose weight and continue his workout regimen. So what he does this off season and summer could mean weather he ever makes it as a player in the NBA or not....

This is going to be a huge summer for May. He's coming off of injury and he's likely going to be healthy to contribute next year! I think he can do it!

Sounds familiar, kinda like I've heard those exact comments for the past 2 years.........................



Can we just get rid of him and move on with our lives?
