ESPN has learned deal will send Luke Ridnour and Gary Neal to Charlotte for Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien

If nothing great comes out of this deal I hope it means Pargo gets more playing time

[YoungPanthers89]

Is Ridinour involved too?

[Proudiddy]

Yup, son of a biscuit eater...  DO NOT WANT.

[Proudiddy]

Scratch that, I'm an idiot...

 

HIS DEAL IS AN EXPIRING!!!

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

Good.

[Guest Dark Knight]

Don't think they are done wheeling & dealing either.

I know he's not really a huge value but I'm going to miss Adrien.  He played hard each time he was in the game, which can't be said of a lot of players.  Good luck.

I'm guessing we brought Neal in to play SG then?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Solid move.

Neal is a solid shooter that can also knock down the three.

I'm not a fan of Ridnour but his deal is expiring so it appears that he was just an add in.

Overall it appears like we acquired Neal for at least two years and only lost one million in cap space in the process.

Good trade.

Ridnour can run the PnR very well.  He's a traditional PG that we can use instead of the ball hog driver Sessions is.  I don't think we lost out here but gained.  I don't mind this trade.  Two things I always thought we needed was more shooting and more of a passing PG.  So not bad.

not bad

[PantherBrew]

Still want Jimmer

[CatMan72]

We're trying to play the inside out game with Big Al, so bringing in a guy like Neal who is an above-average 3 pt shooter for a guy like Sessions who is a below-average 3 pt shooter makes perfect sense to me. 

 

Ridnour can replace Sessions PG minutes AND he's an expiring contract.

 

Like it!
