doubtful with his contract, maybe he'll go to the Lakers for Luke Walton, that asian guy and a fruit pie?
Bobcats just waived Andre Brown and Linton Johnson III.
There were some rumors about the Spurs and Bobcats. With this move, the Cats look to be making a move on one of their star players as they're taking back more players than they're sending out.
JV+Bonner+Fabricio for Gerald Wallace and scrubs?
Heheh, probably not, but it certainly does look like the Bobcats are about to pull the trigger today.

IF that were to happen....i dont know what id do....
Eh, seeing is believing....
Word is they are already filling one of the open roster spots with another minimum-salary free agent.
They had been talking to the Nets, but they are said to be looking for a post scorer.
Nets? Carter? Doubtful?
I know they'd like Boone but that wouldn't require a lot of moving of players.
Any deal the Spurs make with their group of scrubs would have to include Splitter's rights.

The Nets continue to be in trade discussions with Charlotte, which is desperate for frontcourt help, but they don't have the expendable post player Larry Brown wants. The Bobcats are willing to part with Gerald Wallace for a player of consequence, but are more actively pushing Matt Carroll or Adam Morrison, mindful that the Nets are shooter-crazy these days.

Sounds like the Bobcats have a taker, and that in the deal they're getting back more players than they're sending out. According to a couple of well-informed sources the Bobcats have been aggressively working the phone lines as they watch their attendance drop in direct proportion to their winning percentage. It sounds like we could see a huge move made by the Bobcats in the next few hours. HoopsWorld / November 19
The Charlotte Bobcats plan to sign former Cleveland Cavaliers center Dwayne Jones to fill one of the roster spots they opened Wednesday, the Observer has learned. Jones could be in practice as soon as Thursday, after the Bobcats cut forward Andre Brown and Linton Johnson Wednesday. Neither had a guaranteed contract and neither was active for the Bobcats’ last four games. While those moves would leave the Bobcats one short of the maximum 15 players under contract, general manager Rod Higgins and coach Larry Brown said nothing was imminent on the trade front. “We weren’t playing these guys,’’ Larry Brown said of the forwards waived Wednesday. “Sure, we’re looking to see if there’s anything we can do, but I don’t know that (anything else will happen). I feel bad (about the cuts) because these are good guys, but we moved on.’’ Charlotte Observer
nothing to do with the spurs unless they are going to give up mahinmi + bonner/thomas/oberto. i doubt it though. spurs frontcourt is bad enough as it is, giving up bigs to bring in a small forward will be a step backwards.
I read yesterday somewhere that the bobcats were going for mcdyess
Brown and Pop are like best friends so.....nah its not gonna happen....
Gerald Wallace would destroy the 2010 option.
at this point Im all for Gerald Wallace. Its not like any of our damn bigs can rebound right now besides Tim, might as well pick up someone who can rebound, play d, block shots, AND score.
He's a good fit, but it's a salary cap nightmare. It's also an overreaction. Once healthy, the Spurs will be fine.
This is just Larry Brown being Larry Brown. He gets tired of players even faster than he gets tired of teams. Brown isn't comfortable unless he's making moves. Waiving two scrubs to sign two other scrubs is likely what's going on here.
@ trash for Gerald Wallace.
Especially since we know they want a low post scorer and already tried to make a play for Kaman.

Wasnt it rumored that Wallace has been on the trading block since the beginning of the season.
by the way, in no way am i implying the spurs have a shot at this guy....sad to say.
That is pretty much it.
I do not get why people say it is a salary cap nightmare. Who do you think we will be able to realistically get in 2010? If the Spurs got a Wallace type player I would be thrilled since he fill one of our biggest needs, he is only 26 and he makes a reasonable amount of money for a player with his abilities at 9.5 mil. He will only be 30 when his contract is up.
Especially because it helps us win now.
Plus his contract expires when Tim is off the books as well and that frees up a lot of money to sign a max player when Tim is gone.
A line-up of Tony, Manu, Gerald, Tim and Ian seems pretty good for the next 4 years.
Not saying it is realistic, but I just do not agree that the cap situation rules it out.
Point taken.
As much as i would love Wallace on the Spurs im not willing to give up certain players to get him.
Mahinmi
Oberto
or
Hill
I know some people are yelling why not Oberto, but this guy is such a smart player and makes key plays to win crucial games. Hes like a perfect compliment to Duncan/Manu in many situations that i think very few players could fill.
ALL HYPOTHETICAL THOUGH...
I agree. He's that long athletic 3 we could use right about now. A guy who can create his own shot, hit the outside shot, block shots, play overall d. Its not like Bosh or Lebron or anyone is coming here.
Our lineup would be
PG: Parker, Hill
SG: Manu, Mason
SF: Wallace, Bowen, Udoka
PF: Duncan, Thomas, Tolliver
C: Oberto, Mahinmi
Now saying we get rid of Bonner and Vaughn, maybe Udoka or Oberto?
Who are you guys willing to give up for Wallace?
Ahearn?
If post scoring is what they're after, I can't see them wanting any of our bigs except Ian and Timmy. I say no to that.
