Bobcats Close to Inking Flip Murray

Welcome to Charlotte, Flip: “The Charlotte Bobcats are finalizing a deal to sign guard Flip Murray, an NBA source confirmed Thursday night. Murray is a logical fit on coach Larry Brown’s roster, since Brown prefers that his fifth guard be a point who can also play spot minutes at shooting guard. That likely made Murrary preferable to shooting guard Rashad McCants, who hoped to be a Bobcat but instead signed an unguaranteed one-year deal with the Houston Rockets.”
