UPDATED this in my thread as well, but here you go.

Classic Bobcats:

From Bonnell:

There are definitely serious talks going on between the Charlotte Bobcats and Milwaukee Bucks. Don't know all the particulars yet, but it sounds like the Bobcats could end with the 10th pick and maybe send No. 19 to Milwaukee.

Don't know what veterans are involved, but here's a curiosity: Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette have similar contract numbers, both in salary size and length of contracts. The Bucks would love to move Maggette. Don't know that the Bobcats would see him as an asset.

Horrible, self-mutilating, and redundant... you know, the usual Bobcats strategy.

We shouldn't be giving up anything else if we're giving them 9mil in an expiring. We should get the 10th for that alone.

I disagree. We'd atleast have to swap picks and give them the 19th. Then we'd have back to back picks. Diaw is not worth the 10th overall pick, even with that expiring.

It depends, especially if the new CBA will have a hard cap.

Diaw's game itself isn't worth the 10 pick, but his contract is in that case. I've seen plenty similar deals in the past, we all have.

How many times as an NBA fan have you looked at a trade and thought "Wow, they actually did that?"

Problem is, we're always the team that "actually did that."

We know he's not worth a 10, but maybe we can fool em :biggrin5:

I want the 10th pick, but I'm hoping to get Vucevic with the 19th, so I don't want to give it up.

Yeah I guess if you are looking for Vucevic then 10 would be too high in terms of value. I wouldn't mind snagging him either. I just don't see Diaw alone for the 10th going down.

As long as we aren't trading Thomas.

I'd be willing to give them TT for the 10th. I'm sure another team would be willing to take Diaw's expiring as well.

Another idea because Maggette's name keeps popping up, what if we took Maggette back with the 10th, and gave them Diaw?

That way we still keep the 19th and makes more sense for both sides because we'd be taking back an older player with a bad contract and giving them an expiring in its place. I don't want Maggette or his contract, but if we can get the 10th and keep the 19th out of it, I'd do it.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
