Demarcus Cousins to Charlotte?


Panthers Nation

Recommended Posts

According to kentucky sports radio Cousins was told he would land on either of these 4 teams Charlotte,Orlando,Boston,Dallas.The source said the talks where ongoing but Cousins expects to have a deal done soon.

You guys easily can make the best offer especially if you were willing to give up your lottery pick.

*Im trying to find the link but I got it from RealGM.

Cousins to Charlotte doesnt make sense. Bobcats cant trade their 1st this year (technically owed to the bulls), best offer they could give is Detroit's pick plus maybe Henderson? They arent giving up MKG, and I doubt they trade Kemba with the way he has been playing.

If thats the best offer Sac can get then I'm not sure why they would trade him

I checked out the NBA Trade Machine and this is really all we could offer

Byron Mullens, Gerald Henderson, 1st Round Pick (from Detroit)

Byron Mullens, Bismack Biyombo, 1st Round Pick (From Detroit)

At 22 years old, the acquisition of Cousins is almost like spending a draft pick anyway.

Kemba-Henderson-MKG-2013 pick-Cousins.

That's a heckuva young core.

Also I saw that you said trade the 2013 pick, I'd leave that out of there because Cousins is not worth possibly the number one overall pick in the draft. I say give them Detroits which will probably find it's way to them in 2015.

we can't trade our 2013 pick. Technically it belongs to Chicago

I'm talking about the pick we got from Detroit in the BG8 trade.

Here are our outstanding trades...

Outgoing:

Bulls receive the Bobcats' 2012 first-round pick (top 14 protected in 2012, top 12 protected in 2013, top 10 protected in 2014, top 8 protected in 2015, unprotected in 2016) (Tyrus Thomas Trade)

Rockets receive the Bobcats' 2013 second round pick. (via OKC and Boston) (Byron Mullens Trade)

Spurs receive the Bobcats' 2016 second-round pick (top 55 protected, or extinguished) (Theo Ratliff Trade)

Incoming

Bobcats receive the Blazers' 2013 first-round pick (top 12 protected in the 2013, 2014, and 2015, and unprotected in 2016) (Gerald Wallace Trade)

Bobcats receive the Pistons 2013 first-round pick (lottery protected in 2013, top 8 protected in 2014, top 1 protected in 2015, and unprotected in 2016) (Corey Maggette Trade)

We can trade away incoming picks so I say give them Detroit's because that one won't be seen until 2015 as where the Bobcats might have an opportunity for two picks in the lottery with Charlotte slotted at four and Portland slotted at 15.

Right now, the Bobcats would currently hold the fourth pick (unless the balls bounced are way) and the 15th pick.

Trade away Mullens, Hendo, and the Detroit pick for Cousins then draft a stud shooting guard with the fourth pick and power forward depth with the 15th pick and we're playoff bound.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
