Bobcats in trade talks for Beasley


TouchMeNot97

Recommended Posts

The Bobcats are in discussion with the Heat, Raptors and Rockets about a trade that would send Tyson Chandler to Houston and would give the Bobcats Micheal Beasley and Jared Jeffries in return according to ESPN. Do you guys like this trade? It would give us a log jam at Power Forward with Beasley, Tyrus Thomas and Diaw. However all of the have the ability to play at least one more position. Here is a link to the article:

Does Beasly really want to play NBA ball ?

Didn't he come out with some "Wish I had stayed in College something lately?"

Just saw a bit on ESPN awhile back and wanted clarification.

Deffinatly a good pick up if we can move some useless salary as well.

I think he had some depression problems during the offseason last year.

If this happens are updated depth chart looks like this

Center

1. Nazr Mohammed

2. Jared Jeffries

3. DeSagana Diop

4. Alexis Ajinca

Power Forward

1. Tyrus Thomas

2. Michael Beasley

3. Boris Diaw

Small Forward

1. Gerald Wallace

2. Derrick Brown

Shooting Guard

1. Stephen Jackson

2. Gerald Henderson

Point Guard

1. D.J. Augustin

We would still have three roster spots left, which I think should be filled by two point guards maybe Jeremy Pargo and Sherron Collins and one shooting guard maybe take a look at Toney Allen. The only reason I would say get one more shooting guard is because Beasley can play the SF position.

The Heat and Raptors engaged in discussions for several hours after Bosh and Dwyane Wade announced that they were committing to Miami in a package about the various sign-and-trade options. Discussions were serious enough Wednesday night, according to two sources, that Heat officials told Beasley to start preparing to relocate. One source with knowledge of Toronto’s thinking, however, insists that the four-team trade – which would require Houston to send at least $3.1 million in salary to the Raptors -- is “not happening.” Toronto continues to convey the message that it is a reluctant partner in any deal that makes Bosh’s departure more lucrative.

This trade will go through when Toronto stops acting like a f*cking child and realizes its better to take something rather than nothing since they are losing Bosh.

There is no way that Boris is on this team as the 3rd PF. Something has to give there.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
