Dante Cunningham will not take qualifying offer in Charlotte

He's no Landry, but would welcoming back Cunningham give us the necessary flexibility at backup PF?

I'll admit

I’m a little biased as I own a Cunningham Blazer jersey that I don’t want to go to waste :P

But considering how many forwards the Bobcats have now, I think there’s a decent chance they don’t match.

I agree, was reading that this morning too.

Travis Outlaw, Dante Cunningham or Joel Przybilla. Any of those 3 would make a for a good fit on the frontline and it would be good to have a familiar face in the locker room that already gets along with teammates.

I'd be ok with Dante

Outlaw and Joel… not so much

we're talking about backups here

10 minutes a game, maybe. I think any of them would be fine.

Outlaw???

No thanks!

Dante would be better though. He gave LeBron a hard “foul” in that first game we played against Miami. I can’t find the gif online anywhere, but it was hilarious.

Phase 2: ???

If Outlaw' hand wasn't broken,

He played his best ball for Nate McMillan.

If Outlaw' hand wasn't broken...

he would still be the worst defensive liability in the league. He just looks so lost on ‘D’.

Sign him.

Good defense, athleticism, and a solid mid-range jump shot. Good enough.

I'd throw the BAE at him just to scare off Jordan.

Make the second year a team option and welcome Dante Inferno back to PDX. Make it happen Buchanan!

He’s just gotta keep it for the offseason…

Love Joel, love Trout, but IMHO Dante would help us more.

Of those three I’d say yes, offer him some money! I don’t know how he did in Charlotte, but towards the middle of the season I thought he was really improving. He’s a runner and if this new style actually sticks, Dante would be a great fit. He works hard and is scrappy.

At the back up 4

Wallace is a better option IMO.

by JudgeDridge on Dec 15, 2011 2:57 PM PST reply actions

wallace can't play 48 mins though.

4: LMA 30 mins Wallace 10 mins Dante/Johnson/Thomas 8 mins
5:Camby 25, LMA 10, Thomas 10

We need old Joel 100x more than Dante.

Of course we don’t know new Joel’s physical condition now. But old Joel was a legit, tough, NBA center that could set great picks, defend, rebound, and block shots.
