On Tuesday, Davis and Robinson were waived after Bristow reached contract buyout settlements with both. Davis and Robinson are free to sign with any other teams as free agents. Davis' agent, James Wells, said his client wanted to play for a contending team. The Indiana Pacers are expected to sign Davis today to a contract for the remainder of the season. No team has struck a deal with Robinson, who has missed the entire season because of tendinitis in his left ankle. "They both have been great professionals with great careers, but we decided to give them a chance to play with a team that's not rebuilding," Bristow said. "We also didn't want to take minutes away from some of our younger players that we're trying to see what we have." The Hornets obtained Robinson from the Philadelphia 76ers last Thursday in exchange for forwards Jamal Mashburn and Rodney Rogers. Davis was obtained from the Golden State Warriors just before Thursday's trade deadline, with guard Speedy Claxton, in exchange for point guard Baron Davis. Unlike Claxton, Dale Davis and Robinson never reported after they were acquired. The Hornets' objective was to clear space off their salary cap, and Dale Davis and Robinson were in the final year of their contracts. New Orleans paid Dale Davis, whose deal this season is worth $10.1 million, one-third of his prorated salary for the remaining 27 games. Davis was due to make $3,325,609 and accepted a buyout of $1,1108,536. Robinson's contract called for $12 million this season. The Hornets paid him $1,317,073 of his remaining $3,951,219 salary. Dale Davis averaged 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 36 games this season with the Warriors. He is a 13-year veteran who previously played for the Indiana Pacers and Portland Trail Blazers. Robinson is a 10-year veteran who previously played for the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. He has a 20.8 career scoring average. . . . . . . .
