  • Andrea to Bobcats?

    Insider stuff

    According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan has instructed his front office to be aggressive at the trade deadline.

    "We’re very active – our owner wants us to be active,’’ team president Bob Higgins told the Observer in regard to the Feb. 21 trade deadline.

    Specifically, Bonnell wrote that trades "could range from pursuing a star player, to adding a complementary big man, to facilitating some deal between other teams to acquire a future draft pick."

    The Bobs are desperate for a big man, so they may take aim at some potential targets who may well be available like DeMarcus Cousins, Al Jefferson or Andrea Bargnani. The trouble is they don't have much in the way of assets beyond what is sure to be another high draft pick in this year's draft. Perhaps that would be enough to pry Bargnani away from the Toronto Raptors.

        Once primo pasta hits the supermarket shelves of Charlotte, you know that state will explode. What is Jordan waiting for?

          To make salaries work we would either have to take back Tyrus Thomas or Ben Gordon....

              I'd take Gordon easily. He's a bench scorer that can actually....you know....score (no offense Alan Anderson), plus he's a $13 million expiring contract next year (assuming he picks up his player option).

              I just don't trust Jordan's ability to close a deal

                    I'll take Tyrus and his terrible contract before Gordon. Gordon would more likely disrupt the chemistry of the bench, plus he would probably take minutes from Ross. We'd need a big body anyway with Barg leaving town

                      I can see why the 'Cats would want Cousins because he's young, but Bargs or Jefferson don't make sense. They will probably just go into tank mode yet again and see if they can pick up some more young assets in the draft.

                        If you're worried about messing up the chemistry, then Gordon > Thomas and it's not really that close. Gordon is overpaid and a gunner, but a good locker room guy by all accounts. Thomas is a malcontent. Besides, the real return here is that first round pick. I don't think either player would be part of the long term plan in Toronto; more or less just to make the salaries match. And if that's the case, Gordon seems like a better option since his contract expires 1 year before Thomas' does.

                        It would also give Toronto the option to flip Anderson for a second rounder if they chose to do so, and allow Gordon to fill his role.

                          i'd take gordon over tyrus. shorter contract, and truth be told, could still be useful.

                            Is Tyrus Thomas an amnesty candidate?

                              Unfortunately, no. A traded player cannot be amnestied.
