Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread

Fun times on Chad Ford's chat though:

Jeremy (Portland)

Chad what was it like being first lady and what made you decide to dedicate so much of your life to the treatment of drug & alcohol abuse?

I have no idea. That's BETTY Ford.

 

...

 

Rick (Detroit)

Chad, what's it feel like to have invented the automobile and how did you make the transition to NBA Draft expert? Quite a leap!

Chad Ford

lol chuck

[PantherKing1983]

I'm so excited for this!

 

Gary Neal was always first on my list. Hopefully the Bucks will take the Detroit pick for Neal. Im crossing my fingers that they will.

 

Maybe if we add the portland pick they would throw in Caron Butler too go with Neal....

[PantherBrew]

One positive of having NO trades, means that we don't make a bad trade. 

[Proudiddy]

They better throw in Ilyasova for all that, lol.

[Proudiddy]

THIS.  Is hilarious...

Sacramento and Brooklyn have reached an agreement on a three player trade involving Marcus Thornton. 

 

 

Marcus head to Brooklyn for Reggie Evans and Jason Terry.

Grantland has us listed on their trades that SHOULD happen article.

 

Four way deal:

 

Charlotte Receives

Omer Asik

Wilson Chandler

 

Denver Receives

Ben Gordon

 

Philadelphia Receives

Cody Zeller

Darrell Arthur

 

Houston Receives

Spencer Hawes

 

Why Charlotte would do it: Al Jefferson is in full beast mode, yet the Bobcats are barely ahead of the Pistons, Cavs, and Kincks in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Their success is owed to a stingier-than-expected defense that has tailed off as of late. Enter Asik. Parting with Zeller so quickly seems more than worthwhile in exchange for a big man who can anchor the team’s already solid defense. Asik won’t create ideal floor spacing on offense, but because of where missed shots on post-ups tend to fall, he will still provide tremendous value on that end with his offensive rebounding.

 

Wilson Chandler is more of a slasher than the spot-up shooter the Bobcats need alongside Jefferson right now, but his acquisition would help make things slightly less congested inside. Chandler’s arrival also boosts a really thin wing rotation that has recently included Anthony Tolliver and Chris Douglas-Roberts. Chandler, MKG, and Gerald Henderson wouldn’t make people confuse the Bobcats for the Spurs, but it’d certainly make Charlotte deeper and more versatile.

 

With a starting unit of Asik, Jefferson, Chandler, Henderson, and Kemba Walker, supported by a bench consisting of Biyombo, Josh McRoberts, MKG, and Ramon Sessions, Charlotte would be a far more interesting team to watch come playoff time.

Would love Wilson Chandler.  I don't want to give up Zeller though.

At 24-30, the Charlotte Bobcats are clinging to the final seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and are eager to make a move to maintain that postseason spot before Thursday’s trade deadline. The team has been to the playoffs just once in its 10-year history, and owner Michael Jordan has made a playoff berth the team’s top priority.

One target that has emerged, league sources told Sporting News, is shooting guard Anthony Morrow, a player who interested the Bobcats before he signed in New Orleans last summer. Morrow leads the league in 3-point shooting, at 48.0 percent, which would boost a Charlotte roster short on shooters. The Bobcats are 17th in the NBA in 3-point percentage and 28th in 3-point attempts.

Morrow has a player option next summer and is expected to opt out.

The Bobcats have also expressed interest in Orlando guard Arron Afflalo going back almost two months now, and the possibility of absorbing his contract before Thursday’s deadline is a consideration, too.

The Pelicans would like to get a draft pick in return for Morrow, and the Bobcats hold the rights to Portland’s pick, which figures to go in the mid-20s. Considering the talent level that is in this upcoming draft, that might be too steep a price for the Bobcats to pay.

Charlotte has also been pushing for frontcourt help, and would be eager to dump center Bismack Biyombo, sources said. Interest in him, though, has been very limited.

Wow, we have dropped out of the race for Butler/Neal and Turner within the past three hours and no way we get Gasol... jesus..

[Jakob]

Anthony Morrow and Arron Afflalo to Bobcats starting to get talked about more and more.

[Jakob]

Why can't we just give the wolves everything we own for Kevin Love.

 

I'll even throw in my left nut.

[carolina-chuck]

This is getting too funny!

 

More and more names popping up. I wonder who's next.
