Wizards Lose Former Terp In Charlotte's Expansion Draft

[Jake]

But it ain't Juan Dixon! RFA Lonnie Baxter was taken by The Bobcats today and made an UFA. I like Lonny a lot but I'd rather have Dixon on the team. I thought they would have picked him but they had some pretty horrible acquisitons. I don't really understand how the NBA's Expansion Draft works.

Not the most impressive roster in the world but I like White, Woods, Baxter, and Fizer. But their theme was to save money and look towards the Draft and FA. I think they'll make some good moves this offseason.

There were a lot of high priced vet on the list they had to chose from. Now the Bobcats will wait for the ones they were interested in to be released and they'll have the cap room to get the ones they want without overpaying them them.
I'm glad they didn't take Dixon but upset we're stuck with Stackhouse

[SkinFan 0-16 or 16-0]

Stack ill be traded if we can get good compensation.

Glad in a way about Dixon, but we are wasting his talents. This guy will be an all star if he gets a situation where he can start.
