Rumor Bobcats Shopping MKG

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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
