Bobcats sign 5-foot-5 guard Boykins
The Charlotte Bobcats, knowing they need an offensive boost to help them cope with a road-heavy schedule in the second half of the season, have signed 5-foot-5 free-agent guard Earl Boykins for the rest of the season.
Boykins could potentially be in uniform Friday night when the Bobcats (No. 12 in the East at 18-28) visit Golden State. The Bobcats have had an open roster spot since acquiring Nazr Mohammed from Detroit on Dec. 14 for Walter Herrmann and Primoz Brezec. The 31-year-old Boykins has played for seven teams, including two separate stints with Cleveland. Boykins has been working out on his own all season and looking for a new team since last summer, when he opted out of the final year of his contract with Milwaukee (worth $3 million) after averaging 14 points and 4.5 assists with the Bucks following a January trade from Denver. |

He can be effective and he should be able to help the Bobcats. A veteran who can also mentor the youngsters.

I didn't even know he had opted out. Pretty good pickup for the young team.

Was it his choice not to get on a team until now? I always thought he was a solid player.

It was by choice cause I've read there were a few teams interested in him for a while. Not sure what he was holding out for though.
