Bobcats in Dwight Howard's Trade Talk.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Also, in the end. I see Jamison signing in Charlotte because of his family.

To some guys, family trumps winning. Jamison happens to be one of those guys.

My bad fellas, I just now saw it and must've missed it posted in this thread.

Honestly, at this point, I don't really want Humphries. Especially if he has gotten a big-head about one or two good years. I'd rather have Hickson if he decides to sign here. That's my #1 FA target.

I also think from the Jamison update that he certainly will sign here. I'll be surprised if he doesn't.

The way the Bobcats are pursuing power forwards, it makes you think that the Cats are comfortable with Bismack Biyombo playing center.

Though from a fans persepctive it may not seem ideal, Biyombo definitley has the ability to play center in part because of his 7'6 wing-span; which happens to trump Anthony Davis's 7'5 wing-span I might add.J

If the Bobcats can add both Humphries and Jamison, I would expect Thomas to be on the inactive list quite a bit this season.

A potential roster of

(Bold = Inactive)

PG: D.J. Augustin, Kemba Walker

SG: Gerald Henderson, Ben Gordon, Reggie Williams, Matt Carroll

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Derrick Brown, Jeffrey Taylor

PF: Kris Humphries, Antawn Jamison, Tyrus Thomas

C: Bismack Biyombo, Byron Mullens, DeSagana Diop

would go a long way in rebuilding this Bobcats franchise.

To be honest, I think the Hickson ship as sailed.

Also, I would love to add Humphries on a one year deal because I think that trade would land us another first round pick and if it does; that could potentially leave us with four first (or none, being that all four would be lottery protected) round picks in next years draft.

If this trade gos through as constructed it just shows how crooked the league is. So your telling me the Magic are getting fair value trading a HOF center for Luke Walton, Brook Lopez on a max deal, and 3 late first rounders

HOF Center with a bad back

I'm reading most posters say we'd get Humphries AND a 1st round draft pick.

This says "various reports have the Cavaliers accepting Humphries, in return for a future first-round pick from the Nets, in order to make a deal work under the salary cap." - http://www.charlotte...mphries-in.html

So if we replace CLE we give up a 1st , not get a 1st.

If the Nets land Howard and don't lose Wallace in the process, and they remain relatively healthy next season, they should dethrone the Heat.

PG - Deron Williams

SG - Joe Johnson

SF - Gerald Wallace

PF - Reggie Evans (rebounding & hustle machine would complement Wallace & Howard more than well)

C - Dwight Howard

I would actually LIKE TO SEE THAT lineup happen.

sounds like were not really in it anymore, I would LOVE Brooks though

depth....this team has none

I agree that starting lineup is ridiculous, but....its going to take a lot to topple the Heat who only got more confident and better

All the people complaining about this deal probably sided with the owners during the last lockout. They guzzled down the kool aid that player salaries and greed are ruining the sport. Not even a year later, GMs continue to give big multi million dollar contracts to scrubs and the big markets are still running FA and player movement. I give the NBA and Stern credit, they used LeBrons decision to gain support for this bullshit CBA, and it hasnt changed a thing. "Fans" want to stick it so bad to players they give these incompetent GMs and owners a pass.Teams are still givin out horrible contracts, big markets still get the trades and players they want, and teams that sucked under the old CBA will still suck under the new one. In 5 years the owners will opt out and rile fans up about players making too much and parity they claim to want and 99% of the fans will side with them again.

Dwight Howard with a bad back is still worth 10 Brook Lopez's, let alone Brook Lopez coming back from a broken foot...

Hahaha no we would absolutely not give up a 1st. Humphries is an unrestricted free agent, we would be doing the Nets a favor by agreeing to a sign and trade rather than simply signing him outright and killing any chance the Nets have of getting Howard

Oh, and on that Marshon Brooks / Gerald Henderson argument that went on earlier- yall care way too much about 2 mediocre SGs.

that looks like a fun team to watch. id buy NBALP to watch that, get it done cho!

[MrBubba]

How can the Knicks not see what is happening and go offer Humphries a multiyear deal, and try to blow up the Nets chances at Howard? You already have to deal with the Heat; do they really want another power team in their backyard. Same goes for Celtics and other East conference teams; why insure you will never be better than third in the east.
