Crazy Trade by BR

Charlotte Bobcats trade SG Gerald Henderson to Sacramento Kings, SF Corey Maggette to Grizzlies. Memphis Grizzlies send No. 18 pick to Kings, SF Rudy Gay to the Timberwolves. Minnesota Timberwolves trade C Nikola Pekovic and SF Martell Webster to Bobcats, swap 2012 first-round draft pick (No. 18) with Memphis Grizzlies' 2012 first-round draft pick (No. 25), SF/PF Derrick Williams to Sacramento Kings. Kings send SG Tyreke Evans to the Grizzlies, C Hassan Whiteside to Wolves.

Case for Charlotte: Shed salary, get a center who can score and battle with other big men down low, secure a decent wing player who can defend and hit the odd three. This trade is a no-brainer for the Bobcats, who would probably have to throw in a future protected draft pick to the Kings in order to seal the deal. If the Bobcats proceed to draft Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (as I think they should), they would have a potent and young frontcourt in Kidd-Gilchrist, Biyombo, and Pekovic. It hardly matters who your guards are, your team will be, at the very least, competitive almost every night with that trio. If Charlotte drafts someone like Tony Wroten or Will Barton in the second-round, the team will be much, much improved for the next season.

We already have cap space, $14 million dollars of it... to be exact.

Whoever thought of this just took the Bobcats from a seven win team, to a zero win team.

They took 30 points (Maggette and Henderson) from a seven win team and replaced it with 20 points (Pekovic and Webster).

This has to be one of the most stupid trades that BR has come up with.

so rudy gay, tyreke, and derrick williams all get traded and we get none of them, we give up hendo and maggs? for webster/pekovic? thats horrible. hendo is our best player, we dont trade him unless we draft beal, then i still dont want to honestly.

We can't score now. Take away maggette and Hendo and we couldn't throw it in the ocean. As it's been said, we have cap room and Maggette is an expiring contract. Pekovic is a nice player, but we'd lose more games without those scorers (unless that's your plan). I also demand that we receive Hassan Whiteside because he is from gastonia.
