This could be an interesting next few weeks for Celtics general manager Chris Wallace. He is on Charlotte boss Ed Tapscott's short list of candidates for the GM position with the expansion Bobcats.

The Celtics have given their blessing to Wallace interviewing in Charlotte, and don't be surprised if he hears this week from Tapscott.

The plan is for the new Charlotte general manager to be in place roughly by the start of the exhibition season. Tapscott, who was in Sweden watching the European Olympic qualifier, also plans to talk to Gary Brokaw, the Magic's former player personnel director, and Bernie Bickerstaff, the longtime NBA coach who also was the Nuggets' general manager for a spell and who most recently ran the WNBA's Charlotte Sting.
