Here is the lineup based on how many wins each player got lost year:
PG-RAYMOND FELTON 6
SG-RAJA BELL 4
SF- GERALD WALLACE 5
PF-BORIS DIAW 6
C-EMEKA OKAFOR 5
BENCH:
DJ AUGUSTINE 3--V RADMANOVIC 3--J HOWARD 1--D DIOP 1--S MAY, N MOHAMMAD, A AJINCA.
That is a total of 34 wins possibly returning. Juwoon Howard and Scott May are free agents and are likely to leave. May had some decent years until last year where he only play 20 something games. Howard will likely leave to go to a contender before he retires. If so, the Bobcats will lose a win. But, they will gain 3 with draft pick Gerald Henderson. The 12th spot in the draft generates about 3 wins for their team. So that is plus 2 and moving the team up to 36 wins. That is one more than last year's 35. But, figure in playing together for a full year, and that may add more wins. Also, the development of last year's first rounders Augustine and Ajinca. Ajinca didn't earn any wins last year and might could move that up one or two as well as Augustine. If they can improve by a total of 3, then Charlotte has 40 wins and a shot to make it to the playoffs. Howver, all this is must if Felton gets an offer that Charlotte doesn't match. Felton is a restricted free agent, so Charlotte has the right to match any offers and keep him. If his 6 wins leave, that is devastating for the team. Spend the money and keep him. He is worth it.
