선수 명단은 밑에 있으니, 좀 더 자세한 소식을 전해 드리겠습니다.

밑의 글 일부를 해석해 보자면 피닉스는 샬럿으로 하여금 자히디 화이트를 지명케 하면서 동시에 현금 300만 달러와 미래의 1라운드 드래프트 픽도 함께 줬습니다.
<br>
그리고, 샬럿 밥켓츠는 익스펜션 드래프트 때 지명한 알렉산더 파블로비치를 클리블랜드로 보내면서 미래의 1라운드 드래프트 픽을 받기로 했습니다.

Bobcats select few veterans, nine free agents among 19 picks
<br>

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- One by one, the Charlotte Bobcats announced their selections in the NBA expansion draft. To each name, the small crowd reacted with silence.
<br>
<br>
The Bobcats picked their first 19 players Tuesday night, and although many of them have talent, few have name recognition.
<br>
<br>
``Fortunately we don"t have to suit up with that team,"" said coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff, who refused to predict a victory total for the team"s inaugural season. ``We would not be happy at all if that was the group we had to suit up.""
<br>
<br>
Bickerstaff expects only seven or eight of the players to make it to training camp. Nine of the selections are restricted free agents, meaning they automatically become unrestricted free agents and can negotiate with every NBA team except the ones that left them unprotected.
<br>
<br>
That"s bad news for the handful of fans in the crowd of 500 who cheered the selection of Marcus Fizer of Chicago.
<br>
<br>
But Jahidi White of Phoenix and Gerald Wallace of Sacramento -- the only other players to draw any sort of fan response -- should show up in Bobcats orange this fall. The Suns gave Charlotte $3 million and a future first-round pick to take White. The six-year veteran will have the highest salary of any Bobcats player -- $5.88 million.
<br>
<br>
Although some players might be reluctant to join an expansion team, Jason Kapono from Cleveland was not.
<br>
<br>
Kapono, who Bickerstaff picked despite ``incentive offers"" from Cleveland not to choose him, was thrilled to be coming to Charlotte.
<br>
<br>
``I am really excited to be joining a new franchise where everybody is going to start on the same level and everyone will have the same chance,"" he told The Associated Press by telephone from California. ``The only thing I am anxious about is the three-hour plane ride to Charlotte because I can"t wait to get there.""
<br>
<br>
That"s the attitude the Bobcats wanted in picking their first roster..
<br>
<br>
``What we want is players who need an opportunity to show they can play. Players talk all the time, they want PT -- playing time -- and they want to know their role. We can guarantee both,"" Bickerstaff said.
<br>
<br>
White, Fizer, Wallace of Sacramento and Predrag Drobnjak of the Los Angeles Clippers were the most experienced players among the Bobcats" selections from the other 29 NBA franchises.
<br>
<br>
The Bobcats also selected Utah guard Aleksandar Pavlovic, who will be dealt to Cleveland for a future first-round draft pick. Pavlovic will give the Cavs a shooter to replace Kapono, who was one of just four guards chosen by the Bobcats.
<br>
<br>
A big name will be added in Thursday night"s NBA draft when the Bobcats select either Emeka Okafor or high school phenom Dwight Howard.
<br>
<br>
Charlotte traded the No. 4 pick to the Clippers to move up and make a run at Okafor.
<br>
<br>
Other selections by the Bobcats were: Indiana center Primoz Brezec, Lakers forward Jamal Sampson, Orlando forward Zaza Pachulia, Boston forward Brandon Hunter and Memphis forward Theron Smith.
<br>
<br>
``We think this young man is the sleeper of this election,"" Bickerstaff said of Smith, who appeared in 20 games for Memphis last season and averaged 2.2 points.
<br>
<br>
Each NBA team could protect up to eight players but had to make at least one player available.
<br>
<br>
The restricted free agents selected by the Bobcats included Seattle guard Richie Frahm, Miami center Loren Woods, Nets forward Tamar Slay, Nuggets guard Jeff Trepagnier, Washington forward Lonnie Baxter, Golden State guard J.R. Bremer, Fizer, New Orleans guard Maurice Carter and Portland swingman Desmond Ferguson.
<br>
<br>
One glaring omission from the expansion draft was a point guard, which Bickerstaff said he"d try to get through free agency.
<br>
<br>
``We must find a point guard,"" Bickerstaff said. ``We would look for a veteran point guard to mentor the younger guys, but it is the young guys" game. A veteran will be here to give us respect with the referees and professionalism in the locker room.""

첫댓글 나름대로 샬롯 프론트,...이리저리 미래의 1라운드 지명권을 잘 얻어오네요..여태까지 보여준 행보로 봐서는 샬롯의 미래가 괜찮아보이네요...
선즈가 그럼 밥캐츠에게서 가져가는것은 무엇인지...
가져가는 건 없지만 자이디화이트의 셀러리를 처분했죠~
문득, 예전에 다른 구단에게 선행을 베풀던 선즈 구단이 생각납니다..그당시, 올해의 구단주는 그들의 희생으로 다른 두팀의 전력을 올려준 선즈가 받아야 된다고 했었는데..ㅋㅋ...일단 선즈는 샐러리를 비우는 것에만 최대한 치중한 것 같네요....
선즈와 클블은 올시즌이후 하위권으로 떨어진다는건 생각지도 않으니까 저런 트래이드를 하겠죠.
선즈는 아무것도 안가져 가지만 자히디 화이트가 500만불이 넘는 셀러리를 먹으면서 하는일은 아무것도 없으니까...윈윈이죠.
선즈가 샐러리를 더욱더 비우는 이유가 무엇일지?? 코비?? 샤크??
피닉스와 클리브랜드의 드래프트픽이 미래인가요??아님 요번꺼인가요???
피닉스가 노리는 선수는 코비나 스티브 내시일 겁니다. 그리고 피닉스와 클리블랜드에서 받아 온 드래프트 픽은 미래의 픽입니다.
미드레벨익셉션을 가지게 되는거 아닌가요?ㅡㅡ;;; 그래서 달라스가 그렇게 노력한거 아니었나..ㅡ.,ㅡ;;
선즈가 관심있는 선수는 코비,내쉬,마누,오쿠르로 알고 있습니다. 이중 타켓은 누가 될 것인지...
결국은 밥캣츠는 이번 시즌 포기하고 미래를 위한 작업을 한거군요. 1라운드픽 엄청 모았네.
화이트도 꽤나 유망한 선수였는데 무릎 부상으로 결국 먹튀 취급 당하네요. 뭐 그래도 피닉스의 그 허약한 센터 포지션에선 그 고장난 무릎으로도 제법 뛰어 줄 수 있는 선수였긴 한데...-_-;
