The Charlotte Bobcats waived guard Alan Anderson Monday, and apparently intend to sign a veteran sometime in the next few days.

"We did it to clip a roster spot," coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff told the Observer. "There's not a trade involved, but at some point we will replace the roster spot with a veteran player."

Bickerstaff would not say who the Bobcats are pursuing or at what position they seek help.
