Pra vc ver como com o "recortar e colar" fica fácil escrever corretamente...
Pra esse post ser talvez o maior da história por aqui vou postar a lista de jogadores q a franquia Bobcats tá de olho pro Expansion Draft da próxima terça-feira. São tds jogadores q não foram bloqueados pelos seus times. Tem uns nomes bem conhecidos, alguns já em final de carreira...
The Bobcats' cap will be two-thirds of existing teams' cap in their first season, which should be about $30 million. The Bobcats could exceed that cap while claiming players. Players Rick Bonnell has projected the Bobcats to take are noted with a asterisk.
1. Kerry Kittles, New Jersey
Still among the league's fastest players, and a career 38 percent shooter from the three-point line. But his jump shot can be maddeningly inconsistent, and his salary would be a big gulp for the Bobcats. Contract: One year, $9.8 million.
2. Chucky Atkins, Boston
Arguably the best point guard on this list, and furious at the Celtics for leaving him unprotected. But more useful as trade bait than as a mentor to a bunch of kids. Contract: Two years, total of $8.7 million.
*3. Jason Kapono, Cleveland
Nothing impressive about him except his jump shot, but that's enough. He could be this team's Dell Curry, which is crucial because the Bobcats will struggle to score. Contract: One year, $620,000
4. James Jones, Indiana
If the Bobcats are looking for the next Flip Murray, maybe this is the guy. A smart and mature kid trapped at the end of the Pacers' bench; Larry Bird called him the team's best shooter -- better than Reggie Miller. Contract: A team-option $620,000
5. Gerald Wallace, Sacramento
Arrived in Sacramento as a raw, but spectacular, athlete and figures to leave that way, too. He can't do much more than dunk, but at this price, he might be worth a look-see. Contract: One year, $1.38 million.
*6. Matt Carroll, San Antonio
If he improves his ballhandling, you'd have a backup shooting guard with toughness off the bench. Knicks coaches loved how hard he played and cut him with reluctance as Isiah Thomas churned that roster. Contract: One year, $620,000, reportedly unguaranteed.
*7. Richie Frahm, Seattle
A young guard with a very nice jump shot. He had a 31-point night on 10-of-11 shooting, but gets no playing time behind Ray Allen and Flip Murray. Could he be a find? Contract: Restricted free agent.
8. Antoine Walker, Dallas
Oh, what might have been. For all his skills -- and they're intoxicating -- Walker is more Billy Owens than Larry Bird. Is there a trade partner out there to absorb the salary? Contract: One year, $14.6 million
9. Keyon Dooling, Clippers
An incredibly athletic guard who can defend. He is miscast as a point guard and he doesn't have quite the size to be a shooting guard. Contract: Restricted free agent.
10. Jerry Stackhouse, Washington
He's missed so many games the past two seasons that it's tough to say what he has left. He still can break defenders down one-on-one, but you'd need to move him on to a veteran team. Contract: Three years, $24 million.
13. Vitaly Potapenko, Seattle
The best thing about him is his willingness to deliver and accept physical punishment; this is one tough big man. He's limited offensively and somewhat undersized at 6-foot-10, but he'd make a statement that the Bobcats won't be soft. Contract: One year, $6.2 million.
16. Eddie Jones, Miami
Remember when the Hornets refused to give Jones a maximum contract? Now you see why. Still a fine three-point shooter, but he's no longer the defender he once was. His contract is untradeable without taking junk back. Contract: Three years, $42 million-plus.
*19. Aleksandar Pavlovic, Utah
A born shooter, but his youth (20) and the language barrier (from Serbia and Montenegro) showed. He doesn't stick with defense and sometimes didn't listen to directions. Contract: Two years, $2.5 million.
28. Ervin Johnson, Minnesota
A great locker room guy, he's equally comfortable starting or coming off the bench. But at 36, his best basketball is behind him. Contract: One year, $5 million.
29. Scottie Pippen, Chicago
Michael Jordan's sidekick wouldn't help an expansion team. He considered retiring because of age and injuries, and probably wouldn't take to mentoring young players. Contract: One year, $5.4 million.
31. Corliss Williamson, Detroit
A bull of a man who can score, but he's just not worth the price. Contract: Three years, $24 million.
37. Malik Rose, San Antonio
He hit the jackpot a few years ago, and now the Spurs would love to get out from under his contract. Still a tough hustler, but 6-7 power forwards can do only so much in the NBA. Contract: Four years, $25 million.
40. Charlie Ward, San Antonio
He's football-player tough (a former Heisman Trophy winner) and as clean-cut as the NBA gets, but a 33-year-old point guard has limited value to an expansion team. Contract: One year, $1.1 million.
47. Rodney Rogers, New Jersey
Had a couple of nice years with Boston as a brawny forward. But the former Wake Forest star has had little impact in New Jersey. Contract: One year, $3.3 million.
53. Popeye Jones, Golden State
Admirable toughness and persistence, which would be a great example for an expansion team. But he's wearing out as a player. Contract: Unknown.
58. Jamal Sampson, Lakers
He works cheap so if they like him, he's worth adding. He blocks shots, but he's coming off ankle surgery. Contract: One year, team-option $695,000.
64. Penny Hardaway, New York
He was once a great player and is still a great shooter. However, his knee injury and age would likely eliminate him even if he didn't have a killer contract. Contract: Two years, $30 million-plus.
88. Rick Fox, Lakers
He says he'll retire if the Bobcats claim him. With plenty of restricted free agents available, there's no need for Charlotte to force Fox into the rocking chair. Contract: One year, $4.9 million.
89. Calvin Booth, Seattle
The Sonics would love for the Bobcats to inherit its mistake -- originally a $34 million contract for a jump-shooting big man without a reliable jump shot. Contract: Three years, $18 million-plus.
90. Jerome James, Seattle
He's a huge body (7-2, 272 pounds) with some offensive skills close to the basket. However, he isn't known to be a great worker, and his rebounding (less than four per game) isn't much for his size. Contract: One year, $4.5 million.
99. Alonzo Mourning, New Jersey
Although Mourning has retired because of kidney disease, his contract still counts on the Nets' salary cap. And there's no disability insurance on the deal. Contract: Three years, $17 million-plus.
