Who do you think the Bobcats are trying to pick up in this deal . Who do you think is our next Bobcat . No way we extend Morrison without a trade coming. Because he would never get over five milion next year with that knee history.

Name your Morrison trade , Would love to hear some creative ideas, Add other Bobcats in the mix if you want. This team really needs to make a few moves now?????????

I'd rather see them shop Hammer.

[Mustachio]

haha Dav thats hardly Adam saying he wants to be traded. its Adam understanding the roster. you could even take this article to mean that Dudley or Crash is being traded. basically it means nothing.

but i hope he does get traded because im tired of hearing about it. I mean when his own fan base labels him a bust before he even puts on a uniform, what chance does he really have. even though his trade value is nothing and we wont get anything remotely decent in a trade, even though he hasnt even had a chance to prove himself, even though his potential as a bench scorer is off the charts... screw it trade him. Im just tired of hearing about it, hes been on his way out since he got here.

I have no problem shoping Hammer instead . The problem is a wing has to go and that looks like Morrison even though i agree with Mushashio about Morrison having no trade value. But the thrifty Bobcats would have never extended that contract without a taker. Five milion is a nice start in the free agent market next year. Think that could be applied to Boozer money but we chose to extent . I just hope a trade is worth the extension. And if we don't trade Morrison that makes the extension even more stupid.

What ever trade goes down, I just hope we can get a good PF in return in this trade somehow.... We are hurting at PF and have too many wings... so that would work out great for us if we could pull that off somehow, would probably have to lose someone else too in this trade maybe...:cool:

[ammofan]

There is no way Adam should be traded BUT I think he will be traded.....It wouldn't suprise me if he went to a place tlike NY or Utah

[tamburello]

Adam is tradable because of his contract, I believe one day he'll be a very good player, but probably not while he's with us. No-one would take Carroll's contract before 2011.

And I simply don't understand why everybody thinks that picking up 2009-10 option means putting Morrison on the trade block. Any team would take these rookie scale options unless the player is very very expendable and has shown really nothing by the deadline (the most recent examples that come to my mind are Patrick O'Bryant of GSW, Shannon Brown of CLE, Antoine Wright of NJ) or he'd be an unrestricted free agent at the end of season. If they don't like, they can simply use him as a trade bait since they have short term or expiring and reasonable contracts. I still think it's too early to give up on Morrison. I really want him to be successful in NBA, either with us or not. But Brown's admire to veterans would show Morrison the exit. His name will always appear on rumor columns. When I think about that, I want Morrison to go somewhere else, where he's wanted and not expendable.

[Ghost Kat]

In all honestly i'd rather keep Carroll then Morrison. I like Adam but his defense hurts this team. He's still unproven as a scorer . I like his over all attitude about the team and playin the game. But as a business instead of a fan i have to say Morrison can easy be placed on the chopping block.

[docend24]

Yes, he has no trade value. It is sad - before Sam Vincent we had three hairy three point shooters with some trade value - Carroll, Morrison and Herrmann. Now ,after Vincent, none of them has any trade value, or at least their values regressed. Or they are not part of the team anymore (Fabio). Not that all of this is DIRECTLY Sam's fault but...

[dav7z]

After one day Bobcats planet is conpleatly split down th middle . Half thinking Morrison should go the other thinking he should stay.
This is the closest poll i've seen at Bobcatsplanet . Big time fans Ziggy , Spectre , Slam . Jump in i would love to hear your ideas too. I would like to see if Bobcatsplanet is as split as it apears in this issue.

Remerber we hear at Bobcatsplanet can disagree and still get along and be great frinds.

[Muttley]

Remerber we hear at Bobcatsplanet can disagree and still get along and be great frinds.
So true, dav.

Personally, I have no idea. I think he's been playing well and I'd like to have him on the team and give him another year to figure out the mentality he needs to be the man consistently. We already know he can enter a game and be the man once every so often. However, I don't feel comfortable with Sean May as a starter. Nor do I feel good about anyone else on the team starting at PF until they've had some more development. So, if Adam (or almost anyone else on the roster) could make the bobcats a complete team via trade, then I would have to do that. The other problem here is that it would really have to be a PF that was worth it. I don't know if Adam has the value or not. I think there are teams that would take him, but for what I can't say. Bottom line is I voted to not trade him, because I'd rather have him on the team than to have some mediochre PF that is "equal to him in value."

[Felton for Prez]

I'm starting to think we should trade everyone and start over. Obviously thats an exaggeration, but you get my point.

[Lewey]

I'm with Muttley, I'd like to see him make it with the Bobcats. I'd hate to see him finally break out when he's with another team. But, we do need that good PF!

[Mustachio]

Dude I am all for trading Adam Morrison if it gets us an above average PF. but that would mean packaging him with someone better and then I think you might be giving up too much.

My whole point with this is... Adams contract is good in a trade but its gonna take more than a good contract to secure the kind of PF we are looking for. I just dont see any possible way to meet our needs by trading Ammo alone. It would just be making a move to make a move and bring in some mediocre vet.

[ziggy]

I'm in the "Keep Ammo" camp. Right now he doesn't have enough trade value to get us a decent PF. He is going to have to show the league how he can play on that rebuilt knee before other GMs get interested.

If/When one our shooters get traded, then I think that it will be Matt Carroll.

[dav7z]

I'm with Muttley, I'd like to see him make it with the Bobcats. I'd hate to see him finally break out when he's with another team. But, we do need that good PF!

I have a feeling thats whats going to happen . In Charlotte he does squat then we trade him and all of a sudden he starts puttimg up 20 ppg.
I agree with Mustashio though we have to have a decent p/f in return able to start and i think that will take a aditional piece to get it done.
To me trading Morrison has to do with the p/f problem than any thing . But im in favor of trading him to get that p/f. The Bobcats must be thinking the same way or Morrison don;t get that extinsion.

[ohara831]

broke arm yesterday. cant type lefty worth crap.

Ziggy, I'd rather trade Ammo than Matt C. Unless it's the $, cannot see Ammo being more valuable than Matt to us. Maybe you see it the other way, but I think Matt has better handles and is better on defense.

[EvetsMorrison15]

get rid of his ass.

Ouch, How did you break it?

I agree that Matt is more valuable, because of that is why I would prefer to trade him. Right now we couldn't get anything decent for Adam, Matt on the other hand, maybe so.

[dav7z]

If i had my choice id prefer to get rid of Mays lazy tail . Brown stated yesterday thet May was only 50 percent of where he needed to be to be a starter[ Thats just lazy being out of shape that bad making milions] Reality hes our only other p/f if we trade for one . So we got to keep him one more year, As Davidson or Alexas is no where near ready. Morrison or Carroll are the only logical choices. But i think neither along gets us a quility p/f
Thoughts of a packege then comes to mind
Felton our only other tradable piece along with Morrison
Chad ford says Felton is on the choping block too . If we do a packege at least one pointhas to come back.

Names in rumors Lee, Wright, Harrington, Charlie V. Frye., Oldom . Livingston,

[ohara831]

got you on Carroll.

Tripped over the baby stroller. Used right arm to brace, but arm was twisted funny and a clean break of humerus b/t elbow and shldr. Clean = no surgery. put a sling on it, then a body wrap to keep it stationary to body. swollen badly, very painful and major pain pills. hell, i might propose any deals, so bear with me if i propose something stupid. just the meds. LOL

[BRNC]

Yes...we should have traded May to the Nets when they wanted him but we didn't so....My opinion is the least damage to the team is trading Crash...we only have two real PGs on the team so I'm not sure what Ford is thinking since we'd have to get a pg and a pf if we traded Felton (and I'm not saying he will not go but I doubt that that will happen soon). The thing is we have little value to trade without messing up the team and frankly we're overloaded with wings...I could be wrong but other than JRich (who should not be traded in my opinion) that only leaves Crash with enough value to get a good pf. If that is the case what team/teams would be a partner that we could get a good pf for Crash and have a reasonable cap match up?

[Dead_Real]

I remember the McMay for Sean Williams deals that came up on 2007 draft night but I seriously doubt McMay was in good enough shape to even pass a Physical at the time. Crash is our best trade asset though I can agree with that he could land us a few guys that would help boost us into the playoffs Odom or Boozer come to my mind.

Lee is ok but we really need a big that can spread the floor I think Larry Brown would love his energy though, Frye would be great and we could probably get him for Ammo/Carroll straight up probably plus Brown liked him in NY I heard. Charlie V is who I would love to get for cheap but who would we trade to pick him up? The Bucks aren't hurting for another guard or small forward at the moment. Plus they shopped Yi so I'm pretty sure they would want to keep Charlie V more than ever now. So that would leave us having to shop one of our project bigs and picks which they more than likely wouldn't bite on. McMay is more healthy now than he was when they wanted him last year so maybe the Nets wouldn't mind reopening negotiations for May for Sean Williams who knows.

[SWedd523]

I wouldn't mind trading him at all. He's not worth his contract. If we could get any type of value that would match up salary-wise then I'd be all for it.

I wouldn't mind giving him one last chance though and seeing how he does for the first couple of weeks this season;)

[EvetsMorrison15]

for the first time ever, i'm happy with his poor play. He has no trade value. He's staying.

[dav7z]

Morrison didn't dress for tonights game but looked fine to me.Im guessing he will be traded either tomorrow or Sunday . May might be involved to . It looked to me as if they were trying to showcase him tonight. Browns first trade will be with in the week.

[Chef]

Espn box score had him DNP- knee tendonitis. Don't know if you would list that on a guy you are trying to trade immediately.

[timang]

voted keep. for the many reasons we already busted and beated ourselves into :)

[GoBobs]

I voted no because we are not gonna get anything of value for morrision just some other teams second stringer like channing frye. I might consider Felton, Carroll, Naz, Davidson and a first round pick for Baron Davis if the Clippers get into rebuilding mode. I would do it for sure if they included Marcus Camby but the saliries won't work.

[dav7z]

If we don't trade Morrison giving him a extension. This is the biggest bone head move in the history of the Bobcats . If he can't go and his knee all ready acting up ,Why offer him Five milion dollars. NO one is going to offer him near that much with a bumb knee . The Bobcats had to know he was having knee truble. Contract extension one day, next day knee giving problems. Hudge bonehead move it we don't trade him .
That would be FIVE MILION free agent dollars down the drain.

Hell Yes, Talk to your team and make that trade. Maybe not Frenchy, I see something in him, but if must be, then it must be.
