Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
