Trade Partners?

[Ivan The Awesome]

What's the scoop on possible trade parters for the Cats? Yeah I'm going to call them the 'Cats' now...

Besides Cleveland I mean? What are the actual possibilities of a team giving up a substantial amount of picks to leap frog another team and get that prized player?

Personally I'd like a "Rams" type of deal but I don't believe there's a clear cut number 2 draft choice right?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Cleveland obviously, swapping our 2nd overall pick for their 4th overall pick and 24th overall pick.

Memphis is a team that could part with Rudy Gay and the 25th pick for the 2nd pick, 31st, pick, and (Tyrus Thomas, Gana Diop, or Corey Maggette)

Portland has been thrown around but there is nothing on that front yet.

Houston is also a team that might want to package their picks to move up to the second spot, but it would take a deal like the 14th pick, 16th pick, and (Goran Dragic or Kevin Martin) for the 2nd overall pick.

The Knicks are trying to get into the first round but there is a slim chance that they would be able to give the Bobcats what they want to pry the pick from the Cats.

Utah and Brooklyn don't have first round picks but neither team really has enough assets to make a trade to acquire the second overall pick.

Goldenstate maybe they move up from 7 to 2, give us #30 and #35. Charlotte packages all 3 and moves back into the mid 1st round

[Kakarot]

I just hope the Bobcats stay at the #2 and take Harrison. If we go down to 4th in the draft, we're going to miss out on Harrison or Beal.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Yeah, seems to be a little tricky, I'd say not move out of the top 5 either. There's talent there but not a great place for #2 at least not for the Bobcats.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Just do the Cleveland trade. That is the smartest. All I know is that there will definitely be a trade involving the Cats before its time for the #2 pick

I like the Houston trade but as much as I love Dragic, no way they make that deal with Kemba here.

Cleveland trade scenario is WRONG.

it is our #2 and #31 for their #4 and #24 picks. It is NOT a 2 for 1 trade scenario.

Not according to Rick Bonnell

Bonnell and Rotoworld are reporting that the Bobcats are not willing to give up their 31st unless they absolutely have to and the Cats hold all the cards if the Cavs really want Beal because if the Cavs don't take the offer the Bobcats are offering them then Beal is going to the Wizards.

Just saw that.

The original rumors were to include a swap of second picks. I bet we pushed back to get a better deal.

Tired of getting screwed.

There was a story on ESPN insider involving a trade discussion between Charlotte and Atlanta. Don't know if rumor, wild speculation, or something legit because I don't have insider access.

Here's the link I found on Google referring to the ESPN Insider article, in case anyone can read it and divulge details:

[chknwing]

interesting. allthough, I would trade with cavs first, get the extra picks, trade #4 to ATL for Horford. Robinson will still be there at #4. then u got other picks to wheel and deal back into the mid 1st round.
