New Jersey Interested in Boris Diaw

[HeatCheck]

Not going to lie, for once the Bobcats may know what they are doing.

Farmar is having a career best season this year in New Jersey and could be a suitable back up for Kemba. He also has the option to opt out of his 4 million dollar contract at the end of the season, so if the trade goes down and Farmar opts out, the Cats are essentially only losing 3 million dollars in cap space with the trading of Diaw. The big key is we would be adding another first rounder which right now is slotted as the 17th pick in the draft. Oddly enough Perry Jones is projected to go around that area.

Imagine this future line-up

C- Bismack Biyombo

PF- Anthony Davis

SF- Perry Jones

SG- Gerald Henderson

PG- Kemba Walker

That would be amazing, wouldn't be opposed to a deal with NJN if it involves a first rounder.

Our depth chart could look something like this:

PG Walker | Farmar

SG Henderson | Williams | Carroll

SF PJIII | Maggette

PF Davis | Thomas

C Biyombo | Mullens | Petro

But knowing our luck, either of these scenarios would happen: We miss out on the top pick, Houston doesn't make the playoffs, and/or PJIII doesn't fall.

Right now they are the 8th seed, a 1/2 game in the playoffs but only a game out of 6th, and 2 games out of 5th. It could go either way, they could barely make the playoffs and we wind up winning the deal with around the 17th pick in a perceived deep draft or it could go the other way and we wind up with a 2nd rounder in a few years. I just wonder if that is a risk that Cho can take?

So if this trade goes down soon..does that mean we root for the Rockets tomorrow night? :confused:

I would do it for Houston's pick. With Rubio out, the only team I could see challenging the Rockets for that playoff spot is Portland. Even if some guys go back to school, we could use a pick in the late teens in another deal to move up (like the Stephen Jackson trade last year).

Tony Parker said on a radio show that the Knicks and Spurs are also ibterested in Diaw.

Portland is a dumpster fire, no way they catch them.

I don't really care for anything on either, at least that they'd trade, they are probably hoping for a buyout.

No f'n way the Cats pull off Anthony Davis and PG3. That would be insane. Im all for loading up on draft picks. BB and Kemba are the only 2 pieces to keep around on the team.

this would be amazing. cho is a wizard if he can do all this and turn this team into a young VERY talented team. Similar to what the Thunder did. I love Cho

[Herbert The Love Bug]

but yeah, there's no way at all jones falls that far in the draft

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Thats where many mocks have him going right now, to the Rockets at 17 which would become our pick if the trade goes down.

[SOJA]

I could easily see Jones dropping, whatever the case may be a first rounder out of a Diaw trade would be awesome

Looks like Cho might have something up his sleeve...

The Pacers have had multiple scenarios on hold and the Bobcats also have multiple trade scenarios for Boris Diaw.
