Bobcats close to trading Diaw, Chandler, aquiring Calderon

[BF91]

What they want, cap space. You can actually trade a trade exception I believe.

You can. And while we'd have four solid starters in Calderon-Jackson-Wallace-Thomas, we'd still be weak at center. I don't think the Bobcats are done making moves yet.

[BF91]

who do you think the other player will be?

The PF/C who was apart of the original deal who's name I can no longer remember.

quick breakdown for everyone

To PHX Turkoglu (9,800,000)

To TOR Diaw (9,000,000) + Barbosa (7,100,000) + Chandler (12,500,000)

To CHA: Calderon (9,000,000) + Jones ($992,680) + Evans (5,080,000)

* Jones cut saving CHA 7.5 million.

* TOR takes 4.6 million extra (DO NOT GO INTO TAX)

* CHA saves 7.5 once jones is cut (AVOIDING TAX)

This is what I am hearing from Raptors fans

This way we actually cut Dwayne Jones then go out and get a Center.

Right, that's why we trade the exception to the Wolves for Jefferson to play C. If we get it.

That doesn't equal up from what I am hearing.

Who is Evans????

And do we get the exception or not?

Pardon my lack of knowledge of the Suns' and Raptors' rosters, but who the hell is Evans?

Right, that's why we trade the exception to the Wolves for Jefferson to play C. If we get it.

And we'd have a sleeper contender, IMO.

That doesn't equal up from what I am hearing.

You've got Jones, the guy I was referring to, in your breakdown. And how about giving a source for what you're hearing?

It's reggie evans, and I have no idea, this is some crazy s*t. From what I am hearing frop the Raptors fans there organization doesn't want to have to use the exception.

Yeah Raps fans had to add Reggie Evans to make it work. I have no idea whats going on anymore all sorts of sh*t, someone just needs to come out and say what the damn trade is.

Reggie Evans is an undersized PF but a good rebounder.

The fact that he'd be coming back to us instead of the Raptors using their trade exception to acquire Chandler throws a massive wrench into the idea of us using a trade exception ourselves to get Jefferson.

Another f*cking back-up forward? I know we're a little weak there, but Jesus Christ. Is there a back-up forward that we haven't been linked to this offseason?

And I'm not going to trust what Raptors fans have to say, they're just looking to dump an overpaid player. The only concrete rumor we have is that we're getting Dwayne Jones and Bosh's trade exception.

Yeah, from what I am hearing from the Raptors people is that they don't want to touch the whole Bosh sign and trade money.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Bobcats have traded center Tyson Chandler to the Toronto Raptors.

Chandler's number one priority is to stay healthy, something he has not been able to do in recent years. Even at full strength he might have to fight for a starting gig, as Andrea Bargnani can start at center and both Boris Diaw and Amir Johnson are potential starting PFs.

I don't know for who or what.

[Zaximus]

I read they may be using the exception from the Turk deal not the Bosh one.
