Since Dallas is looking for SF with Butler out for the year and Chicago interested in Jax..

3 way trade that lands us:

Brenden Haywood - center we desperately need

Taj Gibson - replaces Wallace at SF

James Johnson - much needed bench depth

Kyle Korver - replace Jax at SG

JJ Barea - solid PG off bench

Being a Panther and Mavs fan I come stalk the Bobcat section when the Mavs are being mentioned in trade talks with you guys. There has been some talks about trading for Gerald Wallace. I keep seeing Caron Butler (so you can dump his big contract), Rodrigue Beaubois (once healthy, could turn into a young star), and potentially a future 1st round pick as the options combined to get him.

I was also stalking a Spurs forum to see what they were spreading around and they also brought up this trade, but included Jax to the Mavs and another future 1st or 2nd to you guys with also money options.

Losing Caron will hurt a bit for the Mavs, but we've already seen some progress from our Rookie DoJo and some promise from D League member Joe Alexander (19 ppg and 11rpg). So we may not pull the trigger on a trade as fast as the media thinks, especially with Roddy B coming back in a few weeks. But I would love to have a defensive player who can also score like Wallace on the Mavs.

Would the Bobcats actually give up Wallace for what the Mavs are offering(supposedly)? If not, what are the Bobcats looking for in the future with Wallace?

    • I would say that he's pulling things out of his ass to get people to visit his site.
    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
