NBA Free Agents. Bobcats wish list

We'll probably go after a guy like Korver. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. McInnis could be a possibility if Knight doesn't resign. I also agree Simmons could be a good grab as well.

We won't see any names much bigger than those though.

 

Since McGinnis was a Tarheel and he's from Charlotte, he could help sell those season tickets....ahahaha seriously though he wouldn be a bad player if he came cheap

 

Geting Simmons would be very nice move.But i do think he will resign with LA

 

Vladimir a 2? What are you smoking Dukey? Just say no to Keith Van Flop. I see us going after Korver and Daniels.

 

This explains a few things and is most current:

Points of Emphasis
1. Insider has compiled the most comprehensive list of potential free agents, along with players who have various contract provisions to guarantee all or part of their salary for next season.


2. A few players and teams have made decisions on free agency in the last three weeks. See below.


3. The Cavaliers saved $1 million by not making the playoffs. Lucious Harris was guaranteed $1 million if he played at least 1,100 minutes (he played 1,128) and the team made the playoffs.


4. Nick Van Exel does not have a team option. His $12,731,000 salary is not guaranteed.


– The difference between a player option and an ETO (Early Termination Option) is simple. A player becomes a free agent if he declines his option but remains under contract if he declines his ETO.
