Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Bobcats and point guard Raymond Felton are still far apart on a deal.

"Word out of Raymond Felton's camp is that Bobcats and Felton are still far apart on a deal. Both want long term but not same page on dollars," Mannix wrote on his Twitter page.

Shortly after, Mannix added another update about the talks between Charlotte and the restricted free agent.

"I'm told Felton enjoys CHA and loves playing for Larry Brown but would like a commitment. If not, he'll take 1-yr and become a UFA in '10," he wrote.
