CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Picture the NBA free agency period beginning and the first call LeBron James gets is a recruiting pitch from Michael Jordan.
It’s one the perks for the Charlotte Bobcats now that the Hall of Famer owns the team. Only being a big player in free agency isn’t on Jordan’s agenda – or even possible.
Unlike the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets and Chicago Bulls, the Bobcats have no salary-cap space to participate in the summer free agency bonanza that could include James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire.
And Jordan doesn’t mind. In moving up from a minority investor with the final say on personnel decisions to the first former player to be a majority owner of an NBA team, Jordan is preaching patience with his roster.
