Maybe Warrick asked to be traded where he could pick up some minutes since he's an expirer

Warrick is at $4 mill this year, so it would save the team $500k.

We have a lot of depth in the frontcourt, just getting Guard depth. Guy was pretty good shooter, although I don't think he's played much in recent years.

Basically a move to have Guard depth in practice and save 500k.

White guards, always a solid move.

Apparently he's an great teammate and locker room guy, so that might be the part of the reasoning for such a young team:

quote:
Carroll doesn’t play much – he could be the fourth shooting guard on the roster this season – but [Gerald] Henderson said he knows just why Carroll earned the distinction: “He’s the best teammate I’ve ever had. We play the same position (competing for playing time) and he’s always quick to help me or anyone else.’’

If you're going to have 2 guys who are both expiring sit on your bench, why not choose the guy making less money?

Just got a text from the Hornets saying this happened.

Guy was voted a team captain and never played. I guess that tells us something.
