    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bobcats have waived guard Eddie House, it was announced by Bobcats General Manager and Head Coach Bernie Bickerstaff.
    House was acquired by the Bobcats in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers on July 14 and is in his fifth NBA season. The 6-1, 175-pound guard averaged 11.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.85 steals this season for the Bobcats and 7.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 242 career games.

    ?Eddie handled himself as a professional since he joined our organization and we know we will see him on an NBA roster very soon,? Bickerstaff said. ?We had a situation here with a lot of players at one position and this was a difficult decision.? </div>

    I think they did this so they can get Kareem Rush from the Lakers for a second round pick.

    Maybe..It's definately a possibility, House is a decent guard that could fit in with Denver's system.

    Denver or Los Angeles.

    Denver wants House because of what happened to Lenard earlier in the season...and the Lakers need to drop Rush to make room for Malone's return, or to just get a better backup (if they trade for House).

    Well, that's certainly a surprise. His offense was good, but his defense was suspect at times. I agree with everyone else, though, I think LA or Denver will get him.
