Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread

[Jakob]

Are they new rumors?  I haven't ever seen it come from a credible source. 

 

I'm still iffy on Smith.  I would've bit maybe like 2 years ago with the Hawks, but he just doesn't seem to be a very good team player and his futility from three this season is atrocious.  They'd have to give us another pick to take on that contract, IMO.  According to multiple reporters, his contract is viewed as the worst in the NBA right now, although I'd argue that would be Stoudemire's.

I've just seen a few article and tweets posted today, probably nothing will come of it..

No to Smith. Has a terrible contract, not a team guy as I see it, and we have to give up a 1st and a young guy to get him. I don't think he would work out paired with Big Al either. 

[Proudiddy]

Do it.  NAOW!

Kings still shopping Jimmer Fredette, unable to find deal for him so far, league sources tell Yahoo. A 2014 second-round pick could get him.

I agree with this.

 

I don't think that Josh Smith is the max contract guy we need, I think he would disrupt the chemisty on the court with the current team, and I agree that he would throw Big Al's game off.

 

SG is where they need that dynamic player.  Maxing out for Josh Smith and his terrible contract I think would do more harm than good.

Jimmer for a 2nd?  I'm ok with that.

Philadelphia has traded Spencer Hawes to Cleveland, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

 

Wow.

 

That wasn't rumored at all.  Wonder what they got?  I'm guessing a first?

[Proudiddy]

WOW.  WTF???

Philadelphia will receive two second round picks from Cavs for Hawes, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

[PantherBrew]

I see no reason, why we don't jump on Jimmer for a 2nd.  

 

He fits a huge need for us. 

 

 

[Proudiddy]

I asked Woj weren't we interested not too long ago, but no response.  If we were, I don't see how we don't make that move before 3 pm.

[Wanderlai]

Philly trading everybody for draft picks. At least they realize what they have isn't good enough to win big. I'd also do a 2nd rd pick for Jimmer.

Maybe it might be one that could get pulled off, if the main deal we want falls through.  

 

Jimmer is better than anyone we would get in the mid-second round. 

[Proudiddy]

Agreed.  Or, I'm wondering if we still have the Turner offer with our 2nd rounder dangling out there and there waiting to see if Philly budges. 

 

But, TBH, I would rather just get Jimmer.  We need perimeter shooting and floor spacing, plus we keep BG's contract to either use in another deal OR hang onto for space this summer.

I know, I think I agree.  

 

Plus Jimmer will still be on his rookie contract.

[Proudiddy]

Wow, so, I misread a tweet earlier saying Philly has more moves coming because of their salary floor.  I read it as they were 11 mil under the salary cap.  WRONG.  They are 11 mil under the salary floor, so I'm assuming they have to make moves to get them back above that by the end of the day.  Interesting...
