UPDATED: Confirmed. Bobcats Exploring Trade for Evan Turner

[carolina-chuck]

Mkg is the reason our defense is playing well.

 

Look at the defensive stats when he isn't playing. 

 

True.

 

Everything right now is just speculation. We know nothing. I'm not going to assume who start and who doesnt.

 

The thing is, let's remember that Cho tried to convince us to believe his OKC philosophy. Maybe this is it. Turner is not the player that James Harden is, but maybe Clifford will use him similar to Harden (OKC). Let Turner come off the bench, change the pace of the game, and add sparks to the offense.

I know it has probably already been posted, but what is Turner's salary?

[bLACKpANTHER]

$6,679,867

Gordon and Portland pick for Turner has been offered officially from what I've seen. Just a question of if it's the best offer that Philly gets for him.

[bLACKpANTHER]

who else is in the bidding war for Turner and what assets do they posses?

 

from what i just read- Spurs seem like a legit bidder for Turner, but they have a worse  draft pick than the Blazers/Bobcats pick and not big expiring like Ben Gordon to deal. All they really have in expirings is Bonner @ $4mil

On Inside the NBA last night, David Aldridge, when asked what team will most likely be making a move, he immediately said, "Charlotte. They have a lot of pieces teams like and they want to make a move."

Don't want to make too much of this. But if Bobcats don't make a trade by the deadline, it won't be for a lack of trying.

if we don't we draft hairston w. portland pick

^^That statement makes me smile. First I have heard that teams want what we have. Everything I have read is that what we are offering might not be as attractive as we think:

if a lot of teams like what we have- maybe Evan Turner isn't the best deal.. what about Monroe? Jeff Green? Thad Young?

 

what if we can swing Thad Young AND Evan Turner?

 

Gordon/Hendo/PORT pick = Thad/Turner

[Proudiddy]

Agreed, I was kind of surprised when I heard it.

[chknwing]

Looks like Charlotte is asking everyone for a trade like the homeless asking for spare change.  Interested in Evan Turner, Greg Monroe, Brandon Bass, Luol Deng, and Aaron Affalo.

[Proudiddy]

We asked about Deng? Since he's been with the Cavs?

[chknwing]

We asked about Deng? Since he's been with the Cavs?

 

yes, thats the current trade scenerio

[Proudiddy]

Wow, link?

The only thing I've seen that mentioned us and Deng in the same thought simply said that Deng may be traded again, and we (along with Washington, Phoenix, and others), are considered buyers.  Not really a trade rumor.
