There’s been talk that the Bobcats might be willing to move the No. 2 pick to Memphis in a package for small forward Rudy Gay, but according to sources, it’s just been talk. “It seems the rumors about Gay (being on the trading block) are true,” one source said. “And the Bobcats are one team that could take on his salary. But a trade would be complicated.” FOXSportsOhio

I dont know if i would like this, but he is locked up for years and is a proven player in the league so with our horrible draft history i would at least be interested. I just know that were more than 1 piece away from being a contender. He would bring a scoring threat like we have never had before, avg 20 ppg over his career and has the size and athleticism you want.

Thoughts?

I would do it, if we were to swap picks also.

At Memphis' no.25, players like a Tony Wroten PG/SG, Fab Melo C (legit 7'0"), Royce White PF or John Jenkins should be there.

Add one of these player with Rudy Gay and we would be better off by taking a rookie at no.2.

We do have the cap space to add Rudy Gay. An addition of a player like Rudy Gay would help trying to add other big names in free agency in the future.

Very intriguing deal for the Bobcats, though it does worry me that the Grizzlies seem to play better when Gay is hurt and out of their lineup. He is only 25 so he still has time to grow as a player, and he addresses the bobcats woeful scoring in a big way. I would still like more in a trade than just Gay, considering how much money they would save from his contract (3 yr/ $53 mil) to the 2nd pick

No thanks to Rudy Gay. We don't need to take on any huge contracts. Plus, like it was said above; the Cubbies play better ball with him on the bench. It's not worth taking on his contract if he's not going to be elite. Let's continue to build through the draft, and use our expirings and expanding free agent money to get something better. Plus, im still a lil salty about him when he made those comments about our squad to biyombo lol

Id try to make it a 3 team trade somehow. Im not an expert at the cap space or anything, but something like this would be a good start.

Charlotte gets - Rudy Gay, 10th overall pick, 25th overall pick

Memphis gets - #2 pick and Corey Maggette

New Orleans gets - DJ Augustin, future 2nd rd pick

10th pick - Kendall Marshall

25th pick- Royce White

31st pick- John Jenkins

Kemba/Marshall

Henderson/Jenkins

Gay/Williams

Mullens/White/Thomas

Biyombo/Diop

dj not under contract... cant trade him (and he isnt really good enough to warrant a sign/trade), Hornets are loking to move the 10th pick to drop okafor or ariza contract... so if we took okafor then we could possibly get that pick, but otherwise they are not trading that pick 10.

Hell no you get rid of Tyrus or Diop contract and then we amnesty Maggette. If we can get 2 out of these 4 guys (Diop, Tyrus, Maggette, Carroll) contracts off the books and pick up 2 new starters I'm happy.

I by no means have a problem with gays but I really would hate to hear "AND THE POINT IS GOOD BY GAY" "GAY WITH THE SCOREEEEE" "GAY IS ON FIRE TONIGHT" HESSS FLAMMIINGGG...

Take no offense to that if you are gay/lesbian I just don't know if I could keep a straight face every game.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.

      I think the D performed well over the season considering it was put together with Scotch tape.
