Crazy Trade by BR

Charlotte Bobcats trade SG Gerald Henderson to Sacramento Kings, SF Corey Maggette to Grizzlies. Memphis Grizzlies send No. 18 pick to Kings, SF Rudy Gay to the Timberwolves. Minnesota Timberwolves trade C Nikola Pekovic and SF Martell Webster to Bobcats, swap 2012 first-round draft pick (No. 18) with Memphis Grizzlies' 2012 first-round draft pick (No. 25), SF/PF Derrick Williams to Sacramento Kings. Kings send SG Tyreke Evans to the Grizzlies, C Hassan Whiteside to Wolves.

Case for Charlotte: Shed salary, get a center who can score and battle with other big men down low, secure a decent wing player who can defend and hit the odd three. This trade is a no-brainer for the Bobcats, who would probably have to throw in a future protected draft pick to the Kings in order to seal the deal. If the Bobcats proceed to draft Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (as I think they should), they would have a potent and young frontcourt in Kidd-Gilchrist, Biyombo, and Pekovic. It hardly matters who your guards are, your team will be, at the very least, competitive almost every night with that trio. If Charlotte drafts someone like Tony Wroten or Will Barton in the second-round, the team will be much, much improved for the next season.

We already have cap space, $14 million dollars of it... to be exact.

Whoever thought of this just took the Bobcats from a seven win team, to a zero win team.

They took 30 points (Maggette and Henderson) from a seven win team and replaced it with 20 points (Pekovic and Webster).

This has to be one of the most stupid trades that BR has come up with.

so rudy gay, tyreke, and derrick williams all get traded and we get none of them, we give up hendo and maggs? for webster/pekovic? thats horrible. hendo is our best player, we dont trade him unless we draft beal, then i still dont want to honestly.

We can't score now. Take away maggette and Hendo and we couldn't throw it in the ocean. As it's been said, we have cap room and Maggette is an expiring contract. Pekovic is a nice player, but we'd lose more games without those scorers (unless that's your plan). I also demand that we receive Hassan Whiteside because he is from gastonia.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
