Ben Gordon traded to Charlotte

[carolina-chuck]

I went to several games this year and he's hard to figure out. Yes, you see the athleticism and potential, and that's all that matters as far as the NBA is concerned, but at times it's like he zones out and his head isn't in the game. If he shores that up this year, he could vie for the top pick as well.

Yup. I thought he was loss in another world at times. He's like the Cutler or Peppers in CBB bc you just can't figure him out by looking at him.

Chad Ford:

Beal and Barnes are off our board after the BG trade.

I hope so. IMO, T-rob and MKG are the two safest players and I have been saying that forever now. I was really being intrigued by Beal but now with the addition of Gordon, we are def better in that position. Barnes, he could become a great player but he could really just become nothing but just a jump shooter really. You got to question his performance last season also. So, it's down to T-rob and MKG. MKG would help fill a gaping hole for us. And even though we have Biyombo already, drafting a PF like Robinson wouldn't hurt. He brings in an attitude and abilities different from Biyombo. I can't even imagine a Biyombo/T-rob combo for years to come.

ugh plz not mkg

ugh plz not mkg

Ugh plz not opinion from a Pacers fan.

Shouldn't you be worrying about who the Pacers are going to draft?

And I'm getting really tired of seeing you in here. If you wanna be a bobcats fan just say it. And change that horrible profile pix of yours. Seriously. Having a pacers logo but trying to make opinion about our bobcats. True fans only have one team brother.

Jesus Christ, eat a dick Chad Ford. I don't normally care, but I'm really sick of every fat ass sports writer or unhappy ex-coach commentator going out of their way to take shots at this team. Yeah we suck, most teams picking top 3 do. You're Chad Ford, write the rumor and shut up.

[scarface]

Me thinks there a 60% chance its Harrison Barnes, 39% chance it will be Thomas Robinson, 1% chance it will be MKG.

i support two teams, screw off buddy ill stay here if i want. Im starting to think we are gonna stay at #2.

I hope you are 100% wrong

If we draft MKG and Barnes blows up in the pros we are going to look foolish.

I really, really hope we can work out a trade with Cleveland to take some of the heat off the front office if one of these guys blow up and the other busts. Let them make the decisions and we get who is left over.

I just don't think MKG is very good.

I hope we are really down to Robinson or Barnes since Beal is off the table.

That rumor makes no sense. We drafted a PF last year & just traded our only SF for a SG so that means we are gonna draft another PF?

I hate to say it, but id MUCH rather take barnes over Gilchrist any day til Sunday. MKG is not what you draft at #2 hes what youd draft at 6-31

if its Barnes or Trob im all for it. Just hell no to MKG.

LOL, Maybe he can give us on the skinny on the next installation of the Star Wars saga between Bobcats jokes. I just ignored those shots when I read it. I mean, look at him. He's Chad Ford.

Same here. Again, I went to school with Barnes and saw him play several times over the last few years. I just didn't see what all the hype was about. Yes, he's athletic, but he didn't always play like it. He's gotta show or work on his ball handling/creating off the dribble and quit settling for jumpers. That being said, from everything coming out recently and how both of them project going forward, I'd take HB over MKG anyday as well.

I'm just not impressed with MKG and don't see why he's even being talked about as a Top 10 pick.

We can find a guy to be Bruce Bowen type-player as an UFA.

I hope it's TRob or Barnes if we keep #2, or even if we move to #4.
