The Bobcats have made Boris Diaw available in a trade, according to beat writer Rick Bonnell.

Diaw's work habits and lethargic play on the floor have him in coach Paul Silas' doghouse. It's also the reason he's unlikely to attract much attention on the trade market. The rebuilding Bobcats won't take back a bad contract either, meaning Diaw will only be attractive to teams interested in his $9 million expiring contract. Bonnell suggests the Suns as a possible landing spot, but their front-court is already jammed. Diaw has come off the bench in two straight games, playing behind the likes of Tyrus Thomas, D.J. White and Derrick Brown.

Yeah it makes sense. He has the best trade value on our team that isn't part of our future.

We don't need to trade him for someone with a overpaid contract though. Rather just let him ride out his last year of his contract.

Tyrus could be next, as much as I like him though. He needs to find his mid range game quick.

T-Time's contract is too bad to trade for value. 9 Million off the books is pretty decent trade incentive for any team close to the cap but no way we get any valuable return for Boris.

Maybe Cho could somehow package Boris, T-Time and Augustin for a role player and a first? DJ has been our best player this year but keeping both DJ and Kemba on the roster for future would be silly.

The more Kemba plays, the better he gets. He does make bone head (rookie) mistakes...but his upside, IMO, is much higher than DJ's. DJ might not have much more room to grow as a player.

That being said, the two quick guards are somewhat effective right now.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
