This is from
bonnell's blog.I was wondering the same thing because I think I read this about May.Honestly if we hadn't exercised May's option I would be wondering if we couldn't package them together as expiring contracts for some overpaid veteran.
This is pretty serious.Guys who might help us are being waived right now and they won't be waiting around for us to figure out a loophole or dump a contract.Andre Barret was cut by the Bulls today.He's a better backup point guard than McInnis and he's not so old as to have absolutely no future potential or value.We could really use a roster spot for him and whoever the best big man available might be(maybe Tony Massenburg although he might be past his usefulness as an NBA benchwarmer)

Once the regular-season starts, the NBA allows a team to have a maximum 15 players under contract, with 12 of those players active for any given game. The Bobcats already have 15 players under guaranteed contract.
The Bobcats would have to cut May or Morrison to avoid counting either one against that total of 15. Obviously that won’t happen, since their contracts are guaranteed.
The league will occasionally grant a team an exception to push the roster up to 16. However, to get that exception, a team must demonstrate it has three or more players already out for a length of time. Serious as May’s and Morrison’s injuries are, the Bobcats haven’t reached that situation yet.
