Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread

With all of the rumors swirling, I figured it was a good time to have a catchall thread here.  Any trade news or rumors pertinent to our team, or players that may be out there, post them here.

 

I was running through several of the rumors out there currently, and it appears that Caron Butler and Chase Budinger are available.  I think they both potentially fit the bill for what we need - a scoring wing, and would come a lot cheaper than Turner (who still doesn't quite make sense). 

 

Would you be willing to give Hendo up and move MKG to the 2 in order to get one of them?

Interesting, I can't copy and paste from my phone, but after I posted that last night Woj from Yahoo! Sports tweeted that we had traction on a deal with Milwaukee to net us both Caron Butler AND Gary Neal. It isn't as sexy as some would like, but that is sneaky good. I'd love a deal like that. Not committing tons of money or years, and improving instantly.

I don't understand that trade. That's not a long term solution. What exactly would they be trying to accomplish with that trade?

well, there wouldn't be nearly as big of a committment in terms of money and how much we gave up to get them... i'm willing to bet that we wouldn't be giving up a first rounder in that. And our depth becomes the greatest it has ever been 1-5. If we're able to rotate Butler and Neal in with the current starters, thats also the greatest shooting lineup we've ever had.

The crazy thing is, it's almost a certainty that we will be making a move before the deadline. There's plenty of teams that could use and want BG's contract. Unless our FO suddenly decides that we'll hold onto BG and go after a big name in the summer, he will be traded. I'm also holding out hope that we can move Hendo for an offensive sg.

Brian Windhorst of ESPN now "reaffirming" that Bobcats are one of two teams trying to trade for Pau Gasol. The other being the Suns.

*facepalm*

What are we trying to do??? Young? Old? Take on more salary? Create salary cap room?? We just seem all over the place.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
