Really surprised he didn't wait for Dwight to announce his plans first. Once that happens, Al Jeff could've had a shot at going to a better team (Dallas), or at the very least getting a much bigger salary since he would become the safest center on the market (want to avoid calling him the best center due to Bynum).
This is good news for the Celtics though. Charlotte might be looking to not be doormats for once, and maybe this helps our chances getting into the bottom 5 of the NBA.
