Bobcats to Be Buyers at the Trade Deadline

Quick article indicates NBA execs expect the Bobcats to make a trade deadline move to improve the team.

 

My prediction is:

 

Ben Gordon + 2014 1st rounder for Evan Turner + another player.

Pathetic.

If we pull this off forever scrubs we shall be.

Dumbest poo ever… we should trade MKG and Hendo for picks

[bLACKpANTHER]

Gordan's contract isn't going to net us anything by itself.. we have been shopping it for months

 

i think we will have to package MKG and Gordon to get anything done.. or Gordan and a draft pick (which is what im afraid of)

[Herbert The Love Bug]

lol I could see biyombo and mkg packaged with a pick for a big name

You have a big expiring contract and some picks with a little risk tied to them.  Your options are:

 

Option A - Keep the expiring and the picks and hope you do better in free agency and the draft than you would have done in a trade.

 

Option B - Trade the expiring and certain picks and hope you get more value back as part of the trade than you could have done via free agency and the draft.

 

We are definitely buyers - we don't need more draft picks and we need to add core pieces to address our weaknesses.

 

Don't understand the negative reactions here.

Im really starting not to be oppose to winning now. Seriously.

MJ and Cho has shown that they just dont want to tank. I cant control that so I might as well sit back and enjoy the show.

Most importantly as I am taking a closer and harder look at the draft, this draft is pretty damn deep all over the place, not just the top5-7 big names. Late lottery or not, I think that we can still end up with a very good player (Zach LaVine!!!!!!!). Yea, ZACH LAVINE is a BEAST!

Plus Jefferson is just out of control right now. If we can bring in a legitimate player, go head. Just please dont trade the Detroit pick.

I don't want to tank.  This is a good draft.  Let's get a good vet and unload some guys just taking up roster space... win some games, maybe even sneak into the playoffs, and then snag a good player going into our first year as the HORNETS!  Create a BUZZ, if you will.  lol

Would not be surprise if "GREG MONROE" is the target. He'd be a perfect fit beside Jefferson and Detroit is most likely going to deal him.

I would love to get Evan Turner but I could settle for Pau Gasol. The man is still playing at a high level and in the Playoffs we could really do damage with a fromt court of Jefferson/Gasol.

Saw this last night but couldn't post it from my phone...

 

But, I almost swung a deal for Shumpert and Carmelo on NBA2k14 last night, lol.  They weren't budging on Melo, saw I pulled the Bucks into the deal to absorb some of the excess salary to swing Shumpert.

 

Bobcats out:

Gerald Henderson (to NYK)

Ramon Sessions (to MIL)

2015 first round pick (to NYK)

 

Knicks out:

Shumpert (to CHA)

Andrea Barngani (to MIL)

2015 first round pick (to CHA)

 

Bucks out:

Illyasova (to NYK)

 

A man can dream can't he?

 

And I held onto BG for a possible bigger move down the road.  That contract is gold.

Greg Monroe would be insane.  If they could swing a trade for him or even sign him in the event he hit free agency I think that would be a great pick up.

MKG and Gordon for Barnes?

 

If we make a panic move just kill me now.

[TylerDurden]

I was just wondering the same thing, or possibly Klay Thompson. No way GSW is able to hold onto all three of them when their rookie contracts are up. And IIRC, Klay was rumored to have been on the block, or at least dangled out there, within the last year.
