Sean May has been cleared for basketball activity and says he'll be ready for training camp in October, according to the Charlotte Observer. May had micro-fracture surgery on his right knee last October.

May has managed just 58 appearances in a possible 246 games since entering the league. IF he is healthy, his presence is badly needed on a frontcourt that likes size and depth.

Ryan Hollins has gotten a qualifying offer from the Charlotte Bobcats, making him a restricted free agent. The team can match any offer he receives.

Jermareo Davidson had the option on his contract picked up by Charlotte, according to The Sports Network.
Our View:A rookie in 2007-2008, Davidson was a non-factor in fantasy basketball, playing just over eight minutes per game while averaging about three points.
