Boris Diaw(notes), F, Charlotte Bobcats: Everything – and everyone – is on the table for the Bobcats. Charlotte would like to move Stephen Jackson(notes), but league source said the team hasn’t found a willing suitor. The Bobcats also have become more enamored with point guard D.J. Augustin(notes), whose play has improved under coach Paul Silas.

That leaves Diaw as a likely target. The steady play of veteran forward Eduardo Najera(notes) has made Diaw expendable. Diaw is making $9 million this season and has a player option for another $9 million.

“The Bobcats want to change their team a bit,” one NBA GM said.

The biggest thing here to me is "the bobcats want to change their team a bit."

Trading Boris would be a huge mistake, particularly while TT is out with injury.

The emergence of Hendo leaves the Jax trade as a real possibility, but a backup 2 guard needs to be coming back in the deal. Ridding of Jax contract would be awesome though.

While a fan favorite, Wallace could also be a target in trades. His value is returning after a few good weeks of games and the Bobs will certainly entertain offers for him.

Old news. That writer is just reiterating rumors that having been going around for the past few months. All the players he listed are just speculation because if a Melo deal goes down everyone has been saying it will turn into a multi-team trade. So he is just listing names that have floated around in the trade rumors.

We need to unload some salary, for sure. Just not sure people want to take Jax, he's a problem and instantly nets your team a -ref like. Diaw has been solid this year, but the fact is, he and Jax are expensive. GW is even too expensive unless he keeps having games like he's had lately.

I think we need to unload all we can in terms of large salaries, I know people probably hate to hear it, but I'm not sure this team can seriously compete with the way we're heading.

We need to build on DJ, Hendo, TT, Brown, and players like that. We just need a great big man (but in fairness Kwame has been a nice surprise this year).

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if the team traded Jax, Wallace and Diaw for as many draft picks as they could possibly get while the value for picks is low. Because, once the new cba is in place it is a very very high chance the value of draft picks will increase dramatically. So, the cats would have tons of picks and few huge contracts to tangle with. I wouldn't mind sacrificing an early playoff exit to obtain a lot of draft picks.

PER ESPN Insider Today

The Cats are shopping both JAx and G-Force. Supposedly the cats are in talks with the Mav's about Jax...

I'm scared shitless. because if the Mavs aren't giving us Rodrigue Beaubois or Juan Barea, then I can definitely see Jordan doing that stupid Jackson for Caron Butler Trade.

I'm so sick of Dallas raping this franchise.

I used to hate Diaw but he has actually done well with our new coach. I love Jackson and would hate to see him go. I do think Diaw is the most likely to be traded but until TT is back we can't afford to loose him. I think Wallace needs to be traded, he has been the face of our francise and is probably the best rebounder at his position but I think we could get better offensive players than him.

I honestly dont think that the person who wrote this article actually keeps up with the bobcats because Eduardo Najera has not played well enough to make Diaw expendable.

One player that has came along lately is Gerald Henderson. Being a Duke fan makes me very Bias twords him but he has played well and is no doubt the future for our team along with Augustine. Hendo makes Jackson expendable but I think we need him this year if we want to do anything in the playoffs.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
