Boris Diaw(notes), F, Charlotte Bobcats: Everything – and everyone – is on the table for the Bobcats. Charlotte would like to move Stephen Jackson(notes), but league source said the team hasn’t found a willing suitor. The Bobcats also have become more enamored with point guard D.J. Augustin(notes), whose play has improved under coach Paul Silas.

That leaves Diaw as a likely target. The steady play of veteran forward Eduardo Najera(notes) has made Diaw expendable. Diaw is making $9 million this season and has a player option for another $9 million.

“The Bobcats want to change their team a bit,” one NBA GM said.

The biggest thing here to me is "the bobcats want to change their team a bit."

Trading Boris would be a huge mistake, particularly while TT is out with injury.

The emergence of Hendo leaves the Jax trade as a real possibility, but a backup 2 guard needs to be coming back in the deal. Ridding of Jax contract would be awesome though.

While a fan favorite, Wallace could also be a target in trades. His value is returning after a few good weeks of games and the Bobs will certainly entertain offers for him.

Old news. That writer is just reiterating rumors that having been going around for the past few months. All the players he listed are just speculation because if a Melo deal goes down everyone has been saying it will turn into a multi-team trade. So he is just listing names that have floated around in the trade rumors.

We need to unload some salary, for sure. Just not sure people want to take Jax, he's a problem and instantly nets your team a -ref like. Diaw has been solid this year, but the fact is, he and Jax are expensive. GW is even too expensive unless he keeps having games like he's had lately.

I think we need to unload all we can in terms of large salaries, I know people probably hate to hear it, but I'm not sure this team can seriously compete with the way we're heading.

We need to build on DJ, Hendo, TT, Brown, and players like that. We just need a great big man (but in fairness Kwame has been a nice surprise this year).

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if the team traded Jax, Wallace and Diaw for as many draft picks as they could possibly get while the value for picks is low. Because, once the new cba is in place it is a very very high chance the value of draft picks will increase dramatically. So, the cats would have tons of picks and few huge contracts to tangle with. I wouldn't mind sacrificing an early playoff exit to obtain a lot of draft picks.

PER ESPN Insider Today

The Cats are shopping both JAx and G-Force. Supposedly the cats are in talks with the Mav's about Jax...

I'm scared shitless. because if the Mavs aren't giving us Rodrigue Beaubois or Juan Barea, then I can definitely see Jordan doing that stupid Jackson for Caron Butler Trade.

I'm so sick of Dallas raping this franchise.

I used to hate Diaw but he has actually done well with our new coach. I love Jackson and would hate to see him go. I do think Diaw is the most likely to be traded but until TT is back we can't afford to loose him. I think Wallace needs to be traded, he has been the face of our francise and is probably the best rebounder at his position but I think we could get better offensive players than him.

I honestly dont think that the person who wrote this article actually keeps up with the bobcats because Eduardo Najera has not played well enough to make Diaw expendable.

One player that has came along lately is Gerald Henderson. Being a Duke fan makes me very Bias twords him but he has played well and is no doubt the future for our team along with Augustine. Hendo makes Jackson expendable but I think we need him this year if we want to do anything in the playoffs.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
