CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Charlotte Bobcats will not make a qualifying offer to forward Sean May, allowing the former first-round pick to become an unrestricted free agent.
General manager Rod Higgins didn’t rule out trying to re-sign May. But Higgins says Tuesday that the team determined the one-year qualifying offer of $3.7 million was too high to make May a restricted free agent.
The Bobcats did offer point guard Raymond Felton a one-year qualifying offer worth $5.5 million. Higgins says they remain hopeful of signing Felton to long-term deal this summer.
May was the 13th pick in the 2005 draft, but has played only 82 games in four seasons because of lingering knee and weight issues.
