Bobcats and Kwame Brown agree to deal

[Real Deal]

To the surprise of countless NBA observers, Kwame Brown and Michael Jordan are together again.

 

A reunion that no one in the league expected after their well-chronicled difficulties in Washington will be taking place in Charlotte this season after Brown struck a one-year deal at the veteran minimum with the Jordan-owned Bobcats.

 

Mark Bartlestein, Brown's Chicago-based agent, told ESPN.com that the sides agreed to terms Monday after Brown played the past two seasons for the Detroit Pistons.

 

As a nine-year veteran, Brown will earn $1.3 million next season. The 6-foot-11, 270-pound Brown appeared in 48 games last season, averaging 3.3 points and 3.7 minutes in 13.8 minutes per game.

Kwame Brown is not going to change the record of this franchise and we will rarely see this player play.. whatever.. nothing important if you want my thoughts

[Real Deal]

Kwame isn't the offensive threat the Bobcats need in the post, but he's a decent defensive player down low. Defensive IQ is a bit low, but he's strong and a legit center with a long wingspan.

 

Larry Brown would approve.

 

Charlotte has a lot of centers, though. Dampier, Diop, Mohammed, and now Brown. One has to wonder if they are setting up a trade.

Dampier's contract is non-guarantee so I am 99.9% sure the Bobcats are trying to trade him for someone of use. If he can bring them a guy like Rip Hamilton then his mission is complete. Back to topic, Kwame Brown is a bust, but he can handle 10-15 minutes at center or power forward.
