Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread

Ken Berger also reported that after the 76ers failed to find any suitors for evan turner in exchange for first round picks. That they are now looking to trade him for a second rounder.

Now I'm not super high on turner but I love him a helluva lot more than hendo especially if it costs us Gordon and a second. Hendo cannot dribble, shoot, drive, make plays, but he plays pretty good defense.

With turner u have a great ball handler, who can drive. He also isn't a shooter but I'm tired of fadeaway off balance jumpers from the baseline in isolation plays for Hendo.

Turner isn't an ideal fit bc he also can't shoot 3's but atleast he's not hesitant to shoot them when he's wide open. And he also would be bring play making talent.

Call me crazy but I would love to see turner come in fr a second rounder. See how he plays and gels with us in a playoff push. And then decide if we resign him or just let him expire. Nothing at all lost in this deal but a second rounder. We already gonna have atleast 2 picks in this draft could be more. So it's not a loss. It also helps out the bench with Hendo being the 6th or 7th man.

Whatcha think?

I'd Give up a second rounder, or 3 for a former #2overall pick. 2nd round picks are worthless imo like 90% of second rounders end up in the d league

Wow, so, I misread a tweet earlier saying Philly has more moves coming because of their salary floor. I read it as they were 11 mil under the salary cap. WRONG. They are 11 mil under the salary floor, so I'm assuming they have to make moves to get them back above that by the end of the day. Interesting...

They just have to divvy out that 11m amongst their players to meet the floor. Maybe they'd rather pay another player, but I doubt they'd want it to be Gordon.

I'm ok with just about anything so long as we don't trade any 1st rd picks. We can trade all out 2nds away. Better results scouting DL verses hoping to hit on a 2nd. I think Tyler Zeller would be a decent big to pair with Big Al. He is a sound player, good passer, and can hit a 10ft jumper.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
