POB in Hawaii

[mike radigan]

Mike R, just because a lot of fans, myself included, thought POB left too soon, don't mean we are "haters". I wish all the luck possible for him and all ex- Braves.

I know, Chico. I guess I should have put a wink smiley. So I will now:

[Braves4Life]

Word is that Charlotte is actively looking for a "veteran" center to replace the injured Sean May. They already have a very inexperienced 7-footer in Hollins. I wonder if they might be interested in a past Top 10 draft pick?

I think POB would fit nicely with the Bobcats playing style. And I'd love to have the chance to watch another Braves play in Charlotte (ala Hawk).

[Da Coach]

The Warriors' roster for training camp has 18 players on it. They can only have 15 rostered players by the start of the season, so 3 will be trimmed.

But I wouldn't look for POB to be traded just to reduce the roster size. He has a guaranteed contract for this season and is not making a lot of money (by NBA standards). They will likely cut some guys with non-guaranteed contracts like rookies Carlos Powell, or Stephane Lasme, or Kelenna Azubuike.

They might trade POB if it was a deal that could bring them another established scorer, or if they decide they need another point guard.
