Charlotte passes on Vlade Divac and agrees to sign free-agent center Derrick Coleman of Philadelphia to a six-year contract worth just over 6 million dollars per season. Coleman, rookie of the year in 1991, averaged 17.6 points and 9.9 rebounds last season, but has reliability questions and past ankle and heartbeat issues. The move frees cap space to pursue other targets, including Glen Rice and possibly Alonzo Mourning's successor.
