@BringBackTheBuz: TRADE RUMORS: @Bobcats may trade Bismack Biyombo & Draft Pick for Arron Afflalo!

@BringBackTheBuz: @9edr01 my uncle works in the concession stands in the amway center and overheard the talk

@BringBackTheBuz: Arron Afflalo ranks 10th in the NBA in scoring with 21.9 ppg

This seems like an intriguing trade but would leave a huge hole at center...

I'm guessing the proposed deal (if the rumor is true) is Bismack Biyomob and Charlotte's 1st Round Draft Pick (through Portland) for Aaron Afflalo.

Thoughts?

I love Biyombo and his energy but I would be ecstatic for Afflalo. He is ripping three pointers this season. Jeff Adrian has put in some good minutes so I don't think it would be that big of a hole.

It works for both teams. Orlando gets another asset and a young athletic big guy. Olidipo would get more playing time. We get a guy who can stretch the floor.

Would be a steal if we can get him for Biyombo and a first.  Screw the tanking crowd.  We have two all-star type players in Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker.  We add a 20ppg scorer/shooter in Afflalo, and we have the makings of a contender.  We would still have two first round picks in a loaded draft class, along with enough cap space to sign a very good player.  

 

I like where this organization is headed.  I was growing tired of the lets tank so we can get screwed in the lottery approach.  This organization is deciding that we have its stars in Kemba and Al, and become more attractive in the FA market, while still having a couple draft picks in our back pocket.

 

Hope this happens.

 

Kemba - Sessions

Afflalo - Gordon

Henderson/MKG - CDR

McRoberts - Adrien

Jefferson - Zeller

Not sure if the rumor is accurate because after looking at the trade through the trade machine, we would need to add to match Afflalo's salary and unfortunately there isn't a players salary that works well with this trade.

In order to make this trade, Ben Gordon and Hedo Turkoglu would need to be involved...

Maybe something like Aaron Afflalo and Hedo Turkoglu (exporing deal) for Bismack Biyombo, Ben Gordon (expiring deal), and a our first round pick (from Detroit).

PG: Walker, Sessions, Pargo

SG: Afflalo, Henderson

SF: MKG, Turkoglu, Douglas-Roberts, Taylor

PF: McRoberts, Zeller, Tolliver

C: Jefferson, Adrien, Haywood

That's not an awful roster.

Only deal i would do would be henderson and portland 1st for afflalo. We would no longer have a rim protecter if we send biz. And we wouldnt even have a backup center(haywood is inactive) so the biz trade dosent even make sense.

Besides im not buying the my uncle overheard trade talks..... yeah right. Pure speculation

    • Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.  
    • Darin Gnatt made a comment on the Kyle Bailey show yesterday that it’s night and day with all positions since 2023. He stated that you can see the level of competition is much better and deeper because each group now has not just the starter competition but general roster competition which has been lacking for years. You’re gonna see Panther players actually picked up by teams at final roster cuts.
    • important perspective to have. as easy as the schedule is, it could take 2-3 games for it to start clicking for the young and new ones.
