Re: Rumor

If I were Charlotte I would do this deal in a hurry..Glen Rice may be good
but he is not as good as Jones + Campbell. If this deal gets done then it
implies Rice is not injured and is just using injury as a leverage for his
contract negotiations. Rice is a great outside shooter but he needs the ball
to make plays, his defense is non-existent. He can be a great acquisition
provided he is 1st or 2nd option as scorer..as a 3rd option he will be a
bust. - Mishra
