Per ESPN:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3897431

The discussions between the teams have been ongoing for weeks, though the parameters and pieces have continually changed. If the deal comes to fruition, the sources said, it would likely include Jamaal Tinsley, Jeff Foster and a third player (Brandon Rush, Stephen Graham, Marquis Daniels) going to the Bobcats for Felton, Nazr Mohammed and Sean May.

Maybe it will include that rookie C from Georgetown that the Pacers traded with Toronto for. LB really liked the kid when he came thru for workouts prior to last year's draft (Roy Hibbert, I think). Might be wishful thinking, but that would be a nice trade. We'd get the better end of the deal for sure, getting rid of Mohammed and May.

umm I'm not sure about that one. Brown hasn't messed up yet with his trades though so I'll give him the Benefit Of Doubt on this one.

This has lots of positives and negatives. Tinsley has attitude issues but can run a team very well. Rush would be great to have along with Raja at the #2. Getting rid of Nazr would be huge and they are right that Felton is slowly playing his way into being offered a huge contract this summer that the Bobcats may not be able to match. Getting rid of Sean is a given.

But....

Sean would be gone after this season anyway and losing both him and Felton would free up cap to sign a decent FA at the biggest area of need (and when the team is healthy, there aren't too many glaring needs right now). By taking in these guys, the Bobcats would be very strapped to do anything this offseason and they might even have to go ahead and give their first round pick to Denver because they will be so cap strapped.

Ugh, I say leave it alone and see what happens to Felton this summer and try to match. But play it safe and draft a combo guard in case we lose him. We are a decent team when healthy and still less than three games out of the #8 seed even after all the recent losses. Plus GW is expected back soon (end of month perhaps).

u would think, as much as jordan/brown value felton, that we could get more for him than this article reveals. maybe hibbert could be enticed from indiana like someone said previously..IMO

Where do you get that they value him? They have tried multiple times to dump him this season and went out and spent a first round pick on the PG of the future this past offseason.

Felton has played much better of late, but ridding yourself of Felton means 5-6 "extra" possessions per game, meaning 3 or so better FG attempts than his erratic FG attempts, and 3 or so possessions where he pulls some boneheaded move.

What sucks about this trade is that it is all brought about by Ham Biscuit. Had Ham Biscuit understood how to coach anyone, then he would have kept onto Hermann and we would have never given up two expiring contracts for Nazr, who can't even get in the game ahead of May now. This rumored deal is mostly about dumping Nazr's salary.

Per Bonnell, the Tinsley - Felton trade isn't really there. the two teams have talked on and off, but an official with the team said that a trade isn't no where close to being done. Link

Seemingly it's Mainly because the Pacers don't want to take on Nazar's contract. (I wouldn't either), They also don't want to get rid of a third player in the deal. They want it to look like this.

Felton , may and Nazar (since they have to take him)

for

Tinsley and Foster.

You put it that way and I say no go. Rush or daniels would have to be part of the trade for me to want any part of it.

ESPN2 talked about this trade a little last night and seemed to think that it doesn't make sense for the Bobcats. Big risk with Tinsley concerning his attitude and the fact he hasn't played a game since last spring. He could be really rusty and we have already had to deal with an out shape May all season, for all we know he could be too.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
