Bobcats To Trade Dampier After Sept 13

The Bobcats will look to trade center Erick Dampier, but they'll have to wait until after Sept. 13 when he can be included in multiplayer deals.

Charlotte hoped to waive Dampier to clear cap space and then sign him to a more inexpensive contract, but the veteran didn't agree.

He has a $13 million non-guaranteed contract.

The Bobcats added Kwame Brown earlier this week when it was apparent that they wouldn't get Dampier for cheaper.

"It's going to take a while," Charlotte general manager Rod Higgins said of dealing Dampier.

"Now that we've got another center, waiving him for the sake of waiving him doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us. We're going to continue to talk to teams to try to improve our roster."

but first, they are looking around to see if there is any trade value for him, as they told the Associated Press. Maybe try to get a point guard to replace Raymond Felton (shipped to New York).

But [bobcats GM Rod] Higgins is lowering expectations. While saying there's no "drop dead date" to get a deal done, they may end up simply waiving him.

"The conversations have been had around the league," Higgins said. "I don't know if there's going to be anything that subsequently gets done."

The Bobcats will not take a player back at more than $5 million, to stay under the tax threshold themselves. So no, the Carmelo Anthony rumors are not true. The financial considerations limit what Charlotte can get back in terms of quality, but it never hurts to ask. I guess.

SO it looks like Charlotte doesn't want any one in return making over 5 mil a season = sucks

      his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen.

      Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
