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.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
