According to new Bobcats forward Adam Morrison, there was not a better fit out there for him than Charlotte.
"I just like a little more quiet, laid back city," Morrison said. "It fits my personality and it's a basketball city."

The Charlotte Bobcats are picking up the third-season options on Raymond Felton's and Sean May's rookie contracts, and making qualifying offers to restricted free agents Melvin Ely and Bernard Robinson.
This guarantees Felton nearly $3.3 million for the 2007-08 season and May more than $1.8 million.

The Charlotte Bobcats are likely done with player auditions ahead of next week's NBA draft, the Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell is reporting.
The Bobcats brought back Connecticut's Rudy Gay on Thursday for a second workout and there's a slight chance Gonzaga's Adam Morrison or Italian pro Andrea Bargnani will come to Charlotte between now and Tuesday.
However, the Bobcats have no plans to reschedule Texas' LaMarcus Aldridge, Louisiana State's Tyrus Thomas or Washington's Brandon Roy, after those three cancelled auditions originally set for Thursday.
Bobcats coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff wouldn't say whether he'd draft someone he hadn't worked out here, a standard practice when making such a high pick. Bickerstaff said Gay did nothing to hurt his chances of being the Bobcats' pick.
"He's been working out five of the last six days," Bickerstaff said of Gay, a 6-foot-8 small forward. "I thought he worked out well, considering that."
