Bobcats expressing interest in Rip Hamilton

A fan asked of the Pistons, asked Chad Ford if there was any chance Richard Hamilton gets traded because of his behavior that has taken place of late.

Chad Responds,

"Pistons have been close on a few things with Rip, almost landed Tyson Chandler this summer ... but he's not helping himself right now. I think Charlotte is one of the few teams out there with genuine interest."

I don't know if this is the most reliable piece of information, however considering all things what would you guys think of adding Rip to the Bobcats?

Personally, I am against getting older and Richard Hamilton is just another version of Stephen Jackson on top of that what would the Bobcats be willing to give up to get him? I am not buying this rumor and I pray that the Bobcats don't give me reason to.

If this is true, it's not a great solution for our abysmal offense. I'm hoping if we do make a move, it's better than this.

Naw, pass on Rip. Too old.

This team needs to get better, but we need to somehow get better while getting younger. Gotta build for the future. Even with Rip, our ceiling is still "one and done" in the playoffs.

Well another old player that Brown can "coach". Yahooooooooooooo!!!!

He isn't better than Gerald or Jack so why? Trade up, not sideways.

[C-A-T-S]

Makes no sense.

At this rate we'll have that 2002 Wizards in no time!

I know he is expensive but what are we giving up for him? If we could get him and have him be the 6th man off the bench then he would give us the scoring we need off the bench that this team has lacked since we lost flip. What if Diop and Diaw are the ones leaving. I won't say no until I see some more info. This team just needs to make some kind of move.

I say burn it all down,

Fire Brown

Trade Jax, Crash, diaw.... whomever for what ever as long as its either draft picks or young players with plenty of promise.

Keep DJ, TT, Henderson and Brown. Fill in the rest with the picks and young players and start the rebuilding process.....

please... MJ.....

I would personally love the trade if it were something like this. I think it would make us a much better team. I doubt the Pistons would bite on something like that though. Only way would be if Stuckey and Rip were both desperate to leave and Detroit wanted the cap relief.
