And then the bench player went 4-12 from the floor (33%) while the starters shot 44% (23-52) in a home loss.

And then Gerald Henderson went 2 for 13 (15%) in a blowout loss to Orlando...

But he's not the franchise player making 9,000,000 this year!

He plays 30 minutes a game as sixth man. 13pts, 9 boards, 2 blocks last night. Better than Henderson's numbers (playing more minutes) 12pts, 2 boards, 3 steals.

The game before in Miami...
22pts, 9 boards, 2 steals, 1 block

You are the one to get "outta here"

A nice read about Gerald's feelings...

Factor in those numbers with the $7,000,000 pay differential and Henderson is the EASY CHOICE. Remember the Bobcats franchise player is a bench player on a better team.

You get what you pay for. Henderson can score (his numbers are skewed) but is terrible of the hustle side (i.e. little to no boards, his guy scores alot, etc).

Bobcats are 2-8 since dealing him. Congrats to Panthers numbers. What an EASY CHOICE!!!

Of course you leave out the fact that Jackson, their REAL franchise player, was out with an injury for many of those 8 losses. Foregoing reality is an EASY CHOICE!!!

The Bobcats were winning 43/44% of their games with Wallace in their lineup. When they finish the season winning 40% of their games the $7,000,000 savings will be the RIGHT CHOICE.
