Why We Should Trade For a Player We Know Won't Resign With Us After This Season

[Panthers128]

I've heard a few people comment that it'd be a dumb idea to lose players and get a player who only will finish out the season with us then go elsewhere. I disagree with this argument.

The Bobcats will very likely make the playoffs for the first time in team history this season. I feel that this success is going to really help the team grow in Charlotte and across parts of the Carolinas. The Bobcats are well coached and have three players playing at an extremely high level (Jackson, Wallace, Felton). They are missing a piece or two that would propel them into being serious contenders in the East, imo.

There are multiple players who are all stars and on the final year of their contract. Fortunately for us, a lot of these players are power forwards, what I feel is the Bobcats' weakest link. Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer are all in the final years of their contracts and it appears none of them want to resign with their teams. The Bobcats should, imo, be willing to trade anyone outside of the big 3 i mentioned for one of these players.

Even if they left after the postseason, I think it'd be great for the franchise due to the popularity and success we'd garner from it.
