Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas says Tuesday’s meeting with free-agent center Kwame Brown went “great,’’ as the Bobcats work to re-sign him.

“He was adamant about trying to come here, that he really liked what we did for him last year,’’ Silas described. “How positive we were with him, how we worked with him. He said nobody ever really worked with him as much as we did.’’

Brown, an unrestricted free agent, ended last season as the Bobcats’ starting center. He has drawn interest from other teams, notably the Miami Heat. By returning to Charlotte, he’d likely remain a starter, playing for a coaching staff that values him.

“He wants to work this thing out (to return here) and I hope he does because he’s in terrific shape,’’ Silas said. “You can just tell by his face, and all slim and trim in his whole body. He really wants to be here, and he knows he can be.’’

Brown’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Tuesday Brown does value his experience in Charlotte. But Bartelstein also cautioned there’s a business aspect, as in looking for the most compensation as an unrestricted free agent.

Bartelstein indicated Tuesday that Brown’s decision should come in the next few days. The earliest free agents can sign with teams is Friday, the first day of training camp.

Think we will get anyone else? Any other rumors out there about trying to find someone who can score points?

There were some rumblings we are trying to sign RFA Reggie Williams from Golden State. Could probably be backup at SG and/or SF. Shot 42% on 3's last year. He will probably get some offers from other teams and GS has the ability to match any offer. I think it is a long shot unless we overpay, but I haven't heard anything else.

Gotta get Kwame. He had probably his best year in many years and seems to be a different player, better player under Silas. If you want a starting center thats what you've got to be prepared as a GM to pay for. Like it or not last year made Kwame Brown starting center material once again. Pay the man.
