Sources: Bobcats talking trade with Mavs

The Charlotte Bobcats are in ongoing trade discussions with the Dallas Mavericks, and possibly the Oklahoma City Thunder, that could move Raymond Felton and Nazr Mohammed, two NBA sources confirmed to the Observer.

Some elements of a potential deal were first reported Sunday in the Boston Globe. The Observer has learned that any deal likely would include moving backup center Mohammed, who is owed about $13.3 million over the next two seasons.

If a deal is consummated, the Bobcats likely would end up with Dallas Mavericks center DeSagana Diop. The Bobcats pursued Diop during free agency last summer before he re-signed with Dallas. The deal Diop signed with the Mavericks is large – four more seasons at an average salary of nearly $6.7 million.

It’s unclear what else the Bobcats potentially could end up with if a deal is made. The Globe reported the Bobcats might get veteran point guard Earl Watson if the Thunder is involved. Watson could serve as a backup to rookie D.J. Augustin if Felton leaves for the Mavericks.

Felton is a combo guard with a generally low basketball IQ that is best suited coming off of the bench and also happens to be an RFA at year's end. He has less trade value than most Bobcat's fans think.

The Bobs were willing to sign Diop to his present day contract last year but he chose to go back to Dallas. They have no issues taking on his salary and they would get a good backup PG in the process while moving one of their horrendous salaries in Mohammad.

The deal that I am reading is

Felton, May, and Nazr to Dallas. Diop and Earl Watson to Charlotte. Stackhouse and a 2nd rounder to OKC.

I would rather take on what OKC is getting in Stackhouse and the 2nd rounder.

None of this is going to happen now that DJ is hurt.
