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.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
