Yeah. My prediction is that it is almost 3:30 in the afternoon and the front office has spent the day signing Livingston. I doubt some mega trade is going to just pop up without the rumor mill getting a hint of it.

Gerald Henderson, Larry Brown, and Erick Dampier.

Look it may not happen. This is a forum, its a place to get excited and have your heart broken. You dont believe these guys then cool, dont.

But we can still talk about the possibilities just like we do in every other thread.

I think its possible. I think what they are saying seems like it would be impossible to make up as quickly as they are doing, but hey if its a hoax they still gave you something to do this afternoon.

edit: I also think if its gonna break it would do so around 5 when people can see it. Possibly even 6 where it can be broken on SportsCenter. just my thinking. Still not convinced at all, but very excited at the mere prospect.

Man I wanted to believe the guys, but if their sources hadn't told them any viable info before about potential trades and signings, why would you go on the internet posting shit that you have no confidence in due to past info?

These 'sources' could've been summer interns. At TWC, a ticket sales intern is taking a piss... Guy walks in, takes his piss... Both are washing their hands when the awkward bathroom small talk starts which eventually leads to, "this is what I'm hearing man, but don't say anything..."

Then both guys go on to tell other people saying don't tell anyone else. And as they even mentioned, often teams put out misinformation to throw other teams off the trail. So why wouldn't they do it with their own employees knowing they'll run their mouth.

Odds are, both guys at ROF knew 2 different low level guys who were given such misinformation. It's not their fault for getting excited about it, we all have had similar experiences... BUT, it is extremely irresponsible and insensitive to post it on an internet discussion board/blog for 2 days and expect that it's just gonna stay in your little circle jerk.

I'm not trying to talk shit about them, and I hope they're right, but it's looking like they're not. Then for the guy to bail out of it now... SMH... Yeah, you got my vote for credibility. People talking shit b/c you unintentionally led them on is part of the territory.

Very disappointing. And the worst was them posting "It's on like Donkey Kong! Watch ESPN, Hollinger Knows."

What a waste.

Yes but no. The guy spazzed out b/c he got 'crap emails' talking shit to him about the rumors being bullshit... So he goes all dramatic and says:


OKay I quit.

I’m deeply regretting I ever posted my email address here this week.
To those of you (and you know who you are) that have offered words of support the past 3 days in all of this thanks.
To those of you (and you also know who you are) that have sent me nasty emails and nastier FB message – thanks even more.

For the record, while my wife was helping me to the bathroom a few minutes after my last post I got a sharp stab in my back and down my leg. That’s the last thing I remember. I woke up a few minutes ago on the mattress we keep on the living room floor for me to lie on and my wife (God bless the day I met her) rubbing my legs and crying not sure whethre to call an ambulance or let me rest. I get her reassurred, get still more oxicontin and vicodin in me, and prop up to see if I have any new news only to be greeted by crap and garbage. I now no longer give a damn. This ain’t worth it.

It hasn’t been bs, not from word one. It ain’t happened and I’m beyond caring if it does. Have a nice day. You jaggoffs that think sending crap emails is fun had your laughs. When this happens or doesn’t you can apologize or burn and flame me some more. If you have a pair send me your REAL address and we’ll see how long it takes for me to come on by, climb out of my wheelchair and cave your asses in for you.

Hey guys? Love ya like brothers, but I didn’t sign on for this garbage. See you when it dies down and you decent people are still here. MOst of you refulars know how to find me until then.

Well, I was going to ask who all ended up a Bobcat in this mess, but it looks like you just answered my question there. Not that's not a big enough deal, but what was the proposed deal as a whole?

I think Dampier can be traded for Paul straight up. We could get around the rule by doing two simultaneous trades: Dampier for Paul and then whatever NO would want to make them happy.

I don't know about all of the trade rumors, but it's at least possible.

There is no need to start any "forum wars" guys. There is also no need to go over there and trash what their members are saying. We will not tolerate anything other than meaningful discussion on the topic.

ROF guys are welcome here if they want to talk about it, you're also welcome to send me or the other staff PM's if there is an issue that needs to be discussed. Let's try and keep it civil please.

Yeah, as I've said, I haven't contacted directly with any of them. I did have to wait 24 hours b/c I created a new account with SB Nation rather than signing in using facebook or yahoo, so I couldn't post anything. That being said, they are all Bobcats fans as well, but I have talked some slight shit over here that nothing has gone down after all the hype they built up over there.

I think Dampier can be traded for Paul straight up. We could get around the rule by doing two simultaneous trades: Dampier for Paul and then whatever NO would want to make them happy.

I don't know about all of the trade rumors, but it's at least possible.

Haha.

MJ: Alright lets go ahead and sign this first part here uhh Damp for Paul. Signed!

Shinn: Alright thats cool. Heres the papers for the Wallace, DJ, Henderson for Okafor and Posey part!

MJ: Ahh..you know George I'm beginning to have 2nd thoughts about that part of the trade...Lemme just...*runs to NBA office with Paul/Damp signed papers*

I don't believe there is any "real" info on this, other than some posters saying they have insider info.

I've actually wondered about that! I was even wondering about the deals being signed, the big one first, and then a player in the other deal not passing a physical.

I think there is some legalese that binds the two contracts together even though they are separate deals.

That's it, we should challenge them to a battle of the insiders!

There's got to be... Plus the huge dent in your reputation around the league if you just tried to trade someone a lemon or back out after the first deal.

There is no real information. Two guys on another fan site were claiming to have information on a "huge" deal that would make us a contender. So far, those claims haven't come to fruition. Due to that, a lot of people have been sending them nasty messages and emails and the entire ROF site has grown really defensive.

I just don't want the e-arguing to spill over onto this forum. If they don't like how some guys are handling the news then let them complain about it there. If you don't like the fact that nothing have materialized from their sources, then please leave it here and stay away from that site.

Bad form on the part of everyone involved in the complaining. Take a breath.

I wouldn't have said a thing if the dude hadn't claimed it was a done deal in the NBA offices and flick on your ESPN, only to later say "don't be mad if it doesn't happen" 10 minutes later. how gullible can you be?

you flicked on ESPN didnt. pretty gullible.

I dont know who did it, but if you sent nasty messages to a dude via email about some NBA trade... youre pathetic. get a freaking life.
Its a forum, people can post whatever they want, dont go sending hate mail because you got suckered into getting excited.

Some of you people are some real assholes(Catnation). Why would you take time out of your day to email someone a nasty message because of some stuff they wrote on a message board. Who the hell made you the bobcats forum police? Get a mother f*ckin life. If anyone has too much time on their hands, it's you if you've got time to send stupid shit emails to people who support the same team as you. Damn, I've heard of people having it out on forums with their bitter rivals, but a fan of your team? Thats stupid. Get a life dickface.

Normally I would take the high road here, but "dickface"?!?!?!? Is that seriously the best insult you can come up with?

We here aren't going to go over to Rufus and hassle people, you please do the same.

I read most of it today and all that was said was

1. yeah we wanted the tpe or damp contract (after the trade, obvious info)

2. (after we signed livingston) Ahh, a free agent signing was expected.

This thread (and the chaos that was unraveling in the past few days) has clearly pointed out to me that I'm apparently a completely different breed of basketball fan. Is it arrogant of me to feel sorry for the poor bastards who rip themselves apart over mere numbers, should I simply savour my ignorant approach and ignore the mayhem or, perhaps, join the verbal massacre?

I can't say exactly why, but this is the first time I cringe while slamming the BCP hotkey on my keyboard.

It's high time for this thread to be shut.

Three of the four ducklings are on a killing spree... the fourth one is chillin'.
