Bobcats Trade Deadline Thread

[chknwing]

Pau Gasol? wtf?

[PantherBrew]

Brian Windhorst of ESPN now "reaffirming" that Bobcats are one of two teams trying to trade for Pau Gasol. The other being the Suns.

*facepalm*

What are we trying to do??? Young? Old? Take on more salary? Create salary cap room?? We just seem all over the place.

 

I really hope Clifford has some input on a trade. 

 

He has been around enough to know who can play and who cant, and how someone fits for him.

Mj and Higgins taking over complete control and the WTF moments have started.

Gasol is 33 and getting hurt on and off now, WTF?

 

Josh Smith I may be ok on, there is no guarantee that if we have a ton of cap space that we could sign someone like Stephenson so I go back and forth on my feelings about that.

 

But the Caron Butler, Gasol stuff I don't know.  I wouldn't trade away assets for guys that age.  Also, we really need a consistent shooting guard.

 

I can see looking to upgrade PF, but all the SF talk I'm not sure that is where the focus should be, SG or PF in my opinion.

What if the Bobcats are like fug it and trade for Gasol and Eric Gordon.

I've said it before that I would love Paul Gasol. Even though, Gasol is a bit older he's still playing at a high level. He still got a good 2-3 years left. A front court of Gasol and Jefferson would be hard for any team to defend in the Playoffs. That's the best shot of us beating the Pacers or Heat.

 

 

Im just confused, probably more pissed by what the Front Office is doing. They're all over the place. We've been linked to like a dozen names already. Make me feel like they're just trying to make a move to sell more tickets (fans) than actually trying to win. I'm sick of this crap.

I like Gasol better if they also were to pick up someone like Eric Gordon.

[chknwing]

actually, ben gordon sitting on the bench doesnt help this team in the playoffs at all.  really anyone that they can trade him for that can contribute would be ok.

[Proudiddy]

I pretty much dont want any of the guys we've been linked to. The Butler/Neal thing made sense to me because we wouldn't lose a first rounder and wouldn't need to commit much money.

I just hope Cho walks up in the office and starts bitch slapping some idiots and making some calls.

Gasol isn't worth a first round pick like LA is asking. I wouldn't take Gasol from them with out getting their first back. Unprotected first at that.

Before anyone gets too upset with the front office... we haven't done anything yet. Don't get so ruffled by media rumors right before a deadline.

The MOST I would give would be Ben Gordon and Ports 1st. 

 

Still probably wouldn't. 

 

Ben Gordon and Sessions for Gasol and Steve Blake might would work.  

 

Its valuable to them because it frees them up a lot of cap space for the summer. 

 

Still don't want to send any picks. 

[chknwing]

New Orleans says Anthony Morrow available for a pick. Portlands too high for him?  Maybe just a 2nd?

I wouldn't send the Portland pick or a second rounder in 2929. The only way I would take Gasol and his contract is he was packaged with their 2014 first round pick.
