It looks like the Charlotte Bobcats are going to re-sign Gerald Wallace to a 6-year, $57 million deal. That's a nice signing for Charlotte; they get their young, talented leading scorer back and don't have to break the bank to do it. I think most of us thought Wallace would...

Here's the deal: 3 years, $12 million. The third year is a team-option as we suspected. So by my count, the club still has about $1.35 million of it's MLE to offer to another free agent if they want.
