Calderon deal back on again...

According to Steve Kyler, he has reiterated that the Raptors, Bobcats deal is still not dead and the Bobcats seem to have growing interest in Jose Calderon...

It appears that the Bobcats have been showing more interest lately. According to David Aldridge, the Bobcats were supposedly talking trade with the Toronto Raptors, and Indiana Pacers about a three-way trade that would have seen center Erick Dampier head to the Pacers, and point guards Jose Calderon and TJ Ford head to Charlotte and Toronto respectively.

The deal is still being discussed today, so the four teams that already had the trade in place decided to go ahead with the monster swap.

The deal cold be made again with different players this time..

i think the deal in place is DJ and Diaw.. Damp stays right here so we can cut and resign

Makes more sense because the Bobs will then have a glut of PGs. I wouldn't bet on resigning Damp without a deal in place before cutting him. Even if Damp re-signs, I think Nazr is the starter.

Calderon/Livingston

Jax/Hendo

G-Force/Brown

TT/Najera

Nazr/Damp

Hughes, Collins, and Diop fill out the bench with possibly another 3 spot player. I like this lineup a lot better if Diaw stays with the Bobs since he can play either forward spot, though I read that Diaw has gotten lazier this offseason and put on some weight.

That lineup still can't touch

Paul/Livingston

Jax

G-Force/Brown

TT

Oke

and whatever the bench would be filled out with.

forget CP3- he is officially off the table since Collison was traded to the Pacers last week.. it looks more and more like we will eventually have a trade with Toronto for Calderon (we have a hard-on for him)- whoever/whatever is involved in the trade remains to be seen

Yes he is, but I think MJ and the rest of the FO thought taking on Damp would be the asset they needed to get CP3. It didn't work out that way and now I think the Bobs are scrambling to fill the holes and come out as the #7-8 seed in the playoffs this year.

    • Looking Back at the 2021 Panthers Draft Class An NFL player's career on average is said to last just slightly over three years, and because of that, it's considered a general rule of thumb that by Year 3, a team knows what kind of professional football player a pick has developed into. While there are always exceptions to the rule, that's not the point of this topic. This is about the players who are still on the team after being picked up in the 2021 draft (or as UDFAs). Only four remain on the roster today: Jaycee Horn, Chuba Hubbard, Tommy Tremble, and Brady Christensen. Two of them signed significant contract extensions with the team (Horn, Hubbard) while the other two (Tremble, Christensen) received short-term deals that aren't cap-heavy. It's worth mentioning the conditions these guys entered the league under Matt Rhule's second year and Scott Fitterer's first. A ton of players were brought in that year, including a long snapper who didn't make the team… instead of Trey Smith, who just happens to be the Chiefs' starting guard (hey... to be fair to Thomas Fletcher, he did have a fun draft day phone call). These four survived Rhule and Reich and were seen as valuable enough under the first-year combo of Morgan and Canales to be rewarded with second deals. Jaycee Horn (Round 1, Pick 8.) Horn has all of the traits of a true CB1: elite footwork, physicality, and the ability to mirror WR1s... but his biggest challenge has been staying on the field. He's never finished an entire season, though to be fair, it's been rumored he wouldn’t have been shut down for the final two weeks of last season had the team been in playoff contention. He's got just 37 career games played over four seasons (with 15 of those coming in Morgan/Canales' Year 1). The team gambled on his production after seeing that not only can he lock down WR1s in man or match quarters, but he can also be dependable in a heavy cover-3 zone scheme like what the Panthers ran last season. With the recent free agent and draft additions made this offseason, expect Jaycee to go back to eliminating WR1s from the game rather than shutting down a third of the field like he was recently asked to do. Chuba Hubbard (Round 4, Pick 126) Originally seen as a depth pick with linear speed, Hubbard has outperformed expectations and emerged as the team's RB1 over the past couple of years. His 2023 breakout laid the foundation, but in 2024 he cemented his role as the lead back, showing much-improved vision, contact balance, and decisiveness in outside zone. He finished top-10 in missed tackles forced and yards after contact per attempt, all while holding his own in pass protection and producing on screens. Chuba doesn't have elite burst or wiggle, but he's carved out a spot as the leader and tone-setter in the run game. Not bad value for a Day 3 selection—positional value be damned. Tommy Tremble (Round 3, Pick 83) Tremble has been the kind of player every team needs but few talk about: dependable, physical, and quietly versatile. When he was drafted, he was already known for his blocking chops and has steadily improved as a receiver. He experienced his most complete season in 2024 with a 79.3% catch rate, 10.2 yards per reception, no drops, and a 108.9 passer rating when targeted. Not only that, he's been a consistent special teamer since coming into the league. He's a natural fit as a TE/FB hybrid in 12 and 13 personnel, consistently handling the dirty work in both run and pass situations. Brady Christensen (Round 3, Pick 70) BC has played all over the line both as a starter and as a back-up. We haven't seen the "short arms" come up as often as Rhule was worried about, especially against ATL and WAS where he logged over 100 snaps at center and posted his best grades of the year (76.0 OVR, 73.8 PBL, 75.8 RBLK vs. ATL; 85.2 OVR, 72.9 PBLK, 86.0 RBLK vs. WAS). While his overall pass-blocking grade (56.1) and lack of a consistent position might mean that he's the perfect OL6 rather than a long-term starter, he's been dependable when given his opportunities.
    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
