I'd be willing to give them an expiring contract and a 2nd pick in 2009. Melvin Ely is a poor defender and erractic on offense. There's a reason why he's buried on the Bobcats bench.
<div class="quote_poster">Brok3n Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">But I'm guessing he could thrive under PJ?</div> There's not enough time left to turn Ely around. He made Chris Mihm look like an All-Star center the two times he matched up with Mihm last season. I'd rather sign someone like Marcus Fizer (has Triangle experience) to a 10-day contract.
