Today the Bobcats waived Gentle Ben, about 13 hours after the deadline for playoff eligibility - meaning he can't go run off and sign with a contender like so many other waived/bought-out players do this time of year (well he can technically sign, just can't play in the postseason).
Apparently he pissed off most of the Bobcat organization and was working on a buyout but when the two sides couldn't reach an agreement the front office decided to keep BG just long enough to screw him over. Quite an " You" on the way out the door in the NBA world. Sounds like your typical MJ "vengeance" move.
Hopefully next year he signs with a decent team, his playoff performances with Chicago 4-5 years ago were pretty damn awesome.
