June 22, 200422 yr with the bobcats expansion draft tuesday, what do you think there chances of taking EJ off the heats hands are? I think its not out of the picture. EJ may have a bad contract but he can still play. as an expansion team he would be like the texans taking boselli. also, he did shine in charlotte he would be a hometown fav.
June 22, 200422 yr 0% The Bobcats only have a third of the salary cap of the rest of the league. They can't afford guys like EJ.
June 22, 200422 yr they could take EJ and then release him. of course it would require some real compensation by the Heat as well.
June 22, 200422 yr Here's a quote straight out of Bickerstaff's mouth for all you Heat fans: "We aren't taking any big contracts," coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said Monday. "We aren't taking any contracts that are longer than two years."
June 22, 200422 yr can someone explain to me how expansion works??? how can they pick up EJ if he's locked with us?
June 22, 200422 yr Just like the Florida Marlins / Colorado Rockies expansion draft or the Tampa DRays / Arizona DBacks draft. Each team leaves a few number of players that the new teams can draft and make a team from. Although this one is a bit more complicated because the NBA has a salary cap and a lot of bad contracts and teams are trying to convince the Bobcats to take their high-contract players by offering them draft picks and players.
