Rumor Bobcats Shopping MKG


Jakob

Recommended Posts

Twitter world has been buzzing the past few days that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is going to be shopped once he returns from injury. I would have said this was a terrible idea two months ago but, we can ball hard if not harder without MKG. MKG is so full of talent but if he has a high value, pull the trigger.

 

I love MKG and I'd hate to see him go but like I said if the price is right pull the trigger. Maybe package him with Ben Gordon?

I don't see that happening now with Taylor done for the year.

If we traded MKG we would have a huge hole at small forward and while we could trade MKG for another small forward, you usually don't see same position trades unless one of the players is unhappy.

The only feasible trades I could see where MKG is shipped out for another small forward are posted below.

Charlotte Receives: Luol Deng (once he's recovered from his injury) and Tony Snell
Chicago Receives: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Ben Gordon, and a 2014 2nd round pick

Charlotte Receives: Evan Turner
Philadelphia Receives: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

 

Charlotte Receives: Thaddeus Young, 2015 1st Round Pick (unprotected)

Philadelphia Receives: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Brendan Haywood

Yep, posted this a few moments before the Taylor news broke.. No way we move MKG now.

This is from the same guy who has said twice before that we were shopping MKG. He just throws crap at the wall to see what sticks.

 

He's actually accurate...

 

From what I can gather, all of the Bobcats' phone calls are about making this team better now. I'm even hearing rumblings that Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will be on the table when he returns from injury. ESPN.com - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors/tag/charlotte_bobcats#sthash.WhEKlXuG.dpuf

I just realized y'all thought I was saying Jakob was making it up. I was referring to Chad Ford, the writer for ESPN. This is his third time saying we were going to trade MKG. I also believe he started the DeMarcus Cousins rumor. I might be wrong on that one. He is known in the NBA as the guy who makes up trade rumors to get viewers to his insider articles.

 

My bad for the confusion.

Ohhhhh okay...

 

That makes sense, I'm not really familiar with Ford other than his mocks so I'll take your word for it.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
