The Bobcats have decided not to make a qualifying offer to Sean May, but have done so to Raymond Felton.

The first four years of May's career have been marred by knee and weight issues. He was the 13th overall pick in the 2005 draft, and would have made $3.7 million under the one-year tender for the 2009-10 season.

"I think it's a combination of things," general manager Rod Higgins said Tuesday of the decision. "I think there's production that comes into play. That with the addition of salary, for us it just didn't make sense for that commitment right now for what we're trying to do with the team."

Higgins didn't rule out the idea of re-signing May, but any deal would obviously be worth less than the qualifying offer.
