    I actually think he has a very good chance of starting at least for a while with Gearld Wallace out with a concussion they will need someone to fill his role. They are the Bobcats after all not much depth on the roster so anyone could end up starting. I think that it is one of those things that will happen like Atlanta is doing starting Delk and Collier. On most NBA franchises at this point in his career Rush wouldnt start, but I think he can possibly start for the Bobcats at either the two or three because of his size.

    Finally, I was waiting for him to get out of there. Rush, Kapono, Bogans and Wallace...Should be a sick rotation, with Slay and House looking in from the outside

    Banks, Eddie House was waived. I dont see Gerald Wallace being half as good as predicted, he's stinking it up this year. I would much rather start Kareem Rush or Keith Bogans. But I still dont think this deal went down, because its such a rip off for the Lakers they lost an up and coming player. Anyone gotta link?

    According to www.hoopshype.com this deal is suppost to go down soon, but it is not official as of yet, and I think that the main reason for this move is that Rush's option was not picked up at the beginning of the year so that will give the bobcats more cap room this summer, and the Lakers need to get rid of someone to make room for Malones return in January. Do to his injuries this season Rush was the most apparent option.

    Wow I am impressed by the Bobcats this season. They have made 2 great trades that got them Keith Bogans and Kareem Rush. These are two walented young players who will be the future of this team (along with Emeka Okafor of course). Here is their projected lineup if this trade goes through:

    PG- Keith Bogans/Brevin Knight
    SG- Kareem Rush/Jason Hart
    SF- Jason Kapono/Steve Smith
    PF- Emeka Okafor/Melvin Ely
    C- Premoz Brezec/Jahidi White

    Not to shabby for a brand new franchise.

    Where's Gerald Wallace? and Jason Hart is OG also Kapono would not be starting with Bogans there, because Bogans can defend and do a lot more than Kapono. Rush should start though, I have confidence in him.

    Here is the link, http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1939403 , and also on Charlotte Observer, and a Denver Nuggets source.

    My lineup would make more sense...

    PG: Knight, Hart
    SG: Bogans, Rush, S.Smith
    SF: Wallace, Kapono, Slay
    PF: Okafor, Ely
    C: Brezec, White

    Rush will take some time b4 he has a chance to get into starting lineup, knight will definitely start....after his 19 ast and 18 ast games...he is an awesome passer. I'm not too sure about our SF position but we will probably keep Wallace there because he is our only go-to scorer.

    Rush will likely suit up tonight. Can't wait to see him in orange.

    Bogans is a point guard...and why would you bench Knight...someone who is getting 9.7 assists per game and has had five games of 13 assists or more. You can't. The offense is flowing good under him and Okafor has been thriving.
