According to source, the pick is lottery protected next year, top 8 in 2014, No. 1 protected in 2015 and unprotected in 2016.

Cho is the man. We also need to become portland fans next year.

Say the Bobcats end up with the 5th pick next year.

The Cats could potentially end up with the 5th, 9th, and 13th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.

That would be amazing.

Nah, I'm suggesting that Barnes won't be there at #4 if the Bobcats trade back. Now if they pick Beal at #2 and then have Washington and Cleveland both calling for him, that's one thing, but Washington and Cleveland have both said they're fine with Barnes as a substitute for Beal.

What I'm saying, is if the Bobcats trade with Cleveland, and end up with #4, it'll go something like this:

#2 Beal (Cleveland)

#3 Barnes (Washington)

#4 Gilchrist or Robinson

It's got to be Gilchrist at that point because we wouldn't have a small forward on the roster.

I think a draft night trade might involve players and perhaps picks. Don't be surprised if we get a starting SF that way and still go T-Rob with our actual draft pick.

Exactly. See post #27.

Possibly, I would love to have Rudy Gay lol

Still a 7 win team baby

So it's an equal trade on the NBA Trade Machine, but one thing the NBA Trade Machine doesn't take into account is the first round pick we just got.

We just butt f^cked Detroit.

Here comes the Cho Cho Train

Why do you idiots still think we will draft Robinson or want us to draft him? He is a rebounding PF with limited offensive game. We just drafted a PF who is a better rebounder & shot blocker. BIYOMBO is our PF.

By the way, I think this means we are drafting Harrison Barnes.

I was just thinking that too. fug.

Heard a rumor that Nash could go to portland. If that happens portland probably goes to the playoffs. And there is a good chance detriot will be on the cusp of fighting for a spot. I think its real possible. And we will suck next year I just think we will be more entertaining.

From Marc James of WFNZ

NBA Source just told me the Bobcats will probably trade the 2nd pick. This is gonna be a an Exhilirating 48 hours for Charlotte. Same NBA Source told me Michael Jordan is giving Rich Cho Full Autonomy on Trades, Draft Decisions, Free Agency, etc. Things are looking up.

Cho is in control now. PRAISE HIM!!!

I'm both glad & suprised Jordan is giving Cho all the decision making & staying out of it. To be a good owner Jordan just needs to be commited to winning & spend the money when needed, not play GM.

Good deal and I have always been a big Gordon fan.

Now pull of the trade with Cleveland and we will be rolling!!!!!!!
