That Biedrins contract might be worse...

 

GSW is paying nine million dollars to a man that averages 0.5ppg

 

Realistically, those are three of the worst contracts in the NBA.

 

Bogut is getting paid $14 million dollars to put up Bismack Biyombo numbers and Jefferson is getting paid $11 million dollars to average one made three pointer a game (3.1ppg).

My God, give me a 2015 first rounder and Biedrins and let's call it a deal.

 

My thought's exactly. lol

 

Here's the tidbit on them offering first round picks in the deals from as far back as the trade deadline, they might be offering more now that they have a chance at Howard and are even more desperate. lol  The contracts are so horrible that teams have been turning that offer down and asking for Player, Pick and Barnes/Thompson. Which is why I say they'll have to end up giving one of those two guys up.

Sources say the Warriors have been willing to attach a future first-round pick to move one of their bad contracts since last February's trade deadline, but potential partners tend to ask for prized youngsters such as Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson -- two of the more attractive young players in the league -- when the subject of absorbing one of the Warriors' big contracts is broached.

We couldn't really afford Barnes or Thompson, plus they will need those guys for the sign and trade... but I'd happily take that $9 million dollar expiring contract that Beidrins has and a 2015 first rounder... what does GSW want back? Cash considerations or something.

I guess you could pull Henderson's offer and make a trade for Barnes and Beidrins and play Harrison at the two. That would actually be better than keeping Henderson, because Barnes is on a cheaper contract.

I haven't a clue as to what they want back, nothing maybe since they need to clear all of the cap space to afford Howard. The reason they are doing this is so that they don't have to do a sign and trade with LA. So if it takes giving up one of the guys for Howard then it's a good move if Howard does indeed sign with them.... If not = ouch.

In that case, I would try to work out a deal for Harrison Barnes and Beidrins, and if both parties agree to a trade, just retract Henderson's QO. Barnes will only be on a three million dollar contract for next year, so we could easily afford both him and Beidrins, and when it's all said and done; we would have around $28 million dollars in cap room for the 2014 free agency class.

Barnes starting at SG? I'd do it in a heartbeat, lol. Heck I'd even give up Portland's pick in to make it a first round swap plus Beidrins and Barnes. It gives the Bobcats 4 lottery pick players that have NBA experience plus puts them in really good shape for next off season. The lower pick helps with salary next season as well and gives the Bobcats more flexibility going into the first season as the Hornets.

No, they are offering future first round picks. lol That's how desperate they are to get rid of these contracts. Is that all it would take for you if you Owned the Bobcats?

Lol exactly.

Why would we be giving them 1st rounder(s)?

They should be giving us the pick(s)

Can I get an AMEN!

Give us Barnes, add another quality player, and say bye bye to the 2014 draft. I can live with that.

PG: Kemba

SG: Barnes

SF: Kidd-Gilchrist / Taylor

PF: Cody / Biz

C : Al Jefferson

That's hell of a lineup!

I know, but in this situation where a team is trying to move players to make a run at a big name they're the one who needs to package pick(s) with it.

Yeah, I didn't realize they weren't going to S&T route anymore.

It's an overall, very good idea. The Bobcats should definitely explore the idea.

It doesn't immediately make us better (which allows us a good draft pick), and it keeps us out of any cap issues that we might face in two years.
