Cats trying to acquire Landry through sign and trade

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Charlotte Bobcats are attempting to acquire Landry in a sign-and-trade with the New Orleans Hornets, according to sources close to the situation. HoopsWorld

While no deal between Charlotte and New Orleans is imminent, these sign-and-trade discussions are the reason that Landry hasn’t signed a deal with Golden State. The Warriors want to sign Landry outright, but the power forward would likely make more money if he were to be signed-and-traded to the Bobcats. He’s weighing his options and is no rush to make a decision. HoopsWorld

Hoopsworld is reporting that the Bobcats are attempting to acquire Carl Landry in a sign-and-trade with the Hornets, according to sources close to the situation.

The Hornets just acquired Ryan Anderson to play PF and want to get something of value for FA Landry, rather than letting him walk for free. The Bobcats have struggled to find the right PF as Byron Mullens has more of a midrange game and Tyrus Thomas has continually disappointed when given his chances. Landry would add a toughness to the 'Cats front line and if he does end up in Charlotte, we like his chances to carve out considerable fantasy value -- he could easily be a 15 point and seven rebound guy in the right situation.

NO!!!!!!!! well only be mediocre for the future and out of the race for the no.1 pick!!!!!!!

But,

At the same time, yesss get er done!!!!!!!

[Chaos]

This would make me happy - wonder what we would trade.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Cash considerations and a second round pick lol, at least that's what I hope.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

lolz

[KaseKlosed]

Yes I like it! lets win some games!!!!

[TylerDurden]

Even more awesome? Someone posted a tweet from Bill Ingram or someone credible off of twitter and they said that the Hornets are interested in Gana Diop.

How awesome would that be? To get Landry for Diop, whether Diop is an expiring or not, I never thought anyone would trade for him.

[Chaos]

My church hoops buddies wouldnt want Diop, so this is definitely news.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Tweet that Proud was talking about.

Bill Ingram: Hornets source confirms our earlier report that they are interested in Gana Diop...possible s&t with Bobcats for Carl Landry.... Twitter

[carolina-chuck]

When the h3ll are we going to get this deal in work? So we won't be talking Tony Mitchell next year ;)

Bismack really needs to come off the bench while Haywood and Landry starts. That will only benefit Biz for the future. He's rawer than raw steak right now.

Landry needs to be a Cats already.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Bill Ingram: GSW, CHA still frontrunners for Carl Landry, but source says there are "lots" of other teams trying to find ways to land him. Twitter

Rick Bonnell: It's unlikely #Bobcats will pull off a sign-and-trade for Carl Landry. Twitter

I'm guessing the Cats just want to sign him outright.

Unrestricted FA Carl Landry is expected to make his decision in the next few days.

"There are a lot of teams pursuing (Landry), because he's probably the premier unrestricted free agent on the market," his agent Mark Bartelstein said. While that's likely just Landry's agent building up his market, it shouldn't take much longer for Landry to make a decision. He has been linked to the Warriors and Bobcats most prominently. "He just has to weigh his different options," Bartelstein added.

'"Landy, it seems is going to get a larger offer elsewhere. (Charlotte can offer more than GSW). He would like to play for the Warriors, but it sounds unlikely he'd take less money to play for GSW." writes Thompson'...

'That could put the Bobcats in good position, but if they don't come to the table with significantly more money than the Warriors, Landry could settle for joining the more talented team.' - Joe Kaiser
