Felton to Wolves for McCants, Collins, pick?

[tamburello]

This is what hoopsworld speculates. This trade doesn't work under cap rules, we'd need to add a player but wow! This would be as horrible as it gets for us. We'd trade one of our best players and get nothing in return.

All these trade rumors are making me sick. I doubt this trade will go down.

[bing!]

That site ought to be banished from the world wide web, at least it's 'rumors' section.

[ammofan]

omg.....this actually will probably happen just because we dont want it to.

[ALong13]

This would be horrible, a tarheel for a tarheel and another below average center...only positive we get is a pick...At least with the Wallace trade we got cap relief...Only thing I could see this is if we have a trade sending Richardson or Wallace for a PF/C

but please not this trade...Just heard them say during the game that Augstin has kind of won over Larry Brown, but if we trade felton can we at least get quality for him?

[JamieMcNeill]

honestly with dj playing like the second best rookie pg in the league, i have no problem with dealing felton but for gods sake lets get something decent in return. this makes me a little sick :confused:

[MattD]

I would be all about that... Get rid of felton asap! and get a 1st round top 5. beautiful, I dont care who we get in return. Losing felton will make this team better.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

so who would play back up if felton left??

this is a terrible idea...and there's no way it happens

[bfer]

just got back from the game...McCants is a bum, he looked completely out of it during the game. he was just rambling to himself and then yelled out some random expletives during a timeout even when he wasnt in the game. he has lost it. Worst trade idea so far.

[bfer]

SIde note, i sat in the row next to Kevin McHale-i wish we had a GM who was that passionate about the team. he was constantly yelling at the refs and the players etc. He has passion, you got to give him credit.

[dnbman]

I would be all about that... Get rid of felton asap! and get a 1st round top 5. beautiful, I dont care who we get in return. Losing felton will make this team better.

How can you say that, tonight of all nights?

There's no way you can justify losing Felton would make the team better without receiving something significant in return. Augustine is good, but we'd be terrible if we relied on him every day right now.

[Dead_Real]

^I'm pretty sure Matt hates Felts...

Hopefully this is just another addition to the cycle of never ending "odd man out" Cats that we read about on the net every other day.

Glad to be back BTW my PC was messed up all last week ended up getting a new lap top on sale Sunday though from Best buy.

Don't know anything about that one, but I heard the Philsophers were thinking of trading John Locke and Kenneth Burke to the Mathematicians for Archimedes and the number 3. As much as we're indebeted as a country to Locke, and Burke as a literary theorist, that's a steal for the Philosophers! :rolleyes:

How can you side with the Philosophers? Archimedes is well pas his prime, and by virtue of being from Syracuse he loves zone coverage, leading to constant defensive 3-seconds calls. 3, whose best success came with Fibonacci, has also been a notorious distraction. His connections with the Hitler's Reich, The French Revolution, and Mussolini's Way will mean continuous bad coverage for the team. As talented and versatile as 3 is, it's hardly worth the risk.

This is beautiful stuff.

By the way, is the bold portion in your quote above an intended pun, or one that occurred by happenstance?

[Ampsportsduo]

Pas du tout.

Sometimes you just stumble into it. Perhaps it was my subconscious.

[x2pacalypse]

how about this...

we trade voltaire, and ralph waldo emerson's expring contract to the thunder for frank L baum and catherine de medici

baum is a good point guard, always passing his prose, and nobody is certain just where he may dribble it

catherine de medici is pretty hawt and she births pretty good family members

[Ampsportsduo]

As a wise waitress once said, "Hang on [to], Voltaire." Seeing him go, would represent a dimming of the Cats future.

I'd hate to see Emerson, one of the great trash talkers (and inventor of the phrase, "Ball Don't Lie") go, but every sweet has it's sour, and this trade could facilitate us getting a better big man.

If we added Baum, the trade for Curry remains no longer a bad move, as long as Baum can give Curry a heart.

Unfortunately, adding Cat (as her friends called her) would spell the end of the DJ and Raymond working well together. Wherever she goes, there's bound to be unrest and I suspect the PGs would begin feuding. Also, here sons were way overrated in pre-draft camps. They were the Todd Marinoviches (sorry for the cross-sport analogy) of their time. Driven by m(p)aternal pressure, they never succeeded at the highest level.

To be candide, I don't like this trade. Emerson's worth transcends his on-court performance.

Can you imagine the nausea if traded those guys for Sartre.

[Keetch]

Nausea for sure; even worse if we landed Camus. Though French, he'll still be l'etranger on this team. I'd rather get the plague or suffer some other form of happy death.

Emerson was never the same after Reggie Evans groped his package :rolleyes:

[ALong13]

Yesterday we were talking about a rumor that was running on multiple internet sources suggesting that the Charlotte Bobcats were working on a deal that would send Raymond Felton to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a package of Jason Collins, Rashad McCants and a pick has been officially shot down by the Bobcats. A source close to the team said there was never a discussion with the Timberwolves about Felton. In fact, I went back to read the two original stories where they were yesterday and both have been pulled. There is sanity in the universe, after all.

Well good news it was all a false rumor, this would have been a horrible trade, but it's not happening, so the philosophers and everyone else can relax, they're not getting traded

Man, I love the democratic flavor of the net.

But, sometimes you wish there was an editorial process.

[BIGCatBobcat]

Rumor should be defined. I heard from __(you cannot just say a source)__ that __(team)__ wants to or has or will offer ___(player)___ for ___(player/pick)___ from ___(other team)___. ___(other team)___ has not/will/responded.

Seriously, don't call it a rumor unless it fits that general formula. Reputible source, be it a guy you know that works in the front office, GM, MJ, coach, other player, even overheard from Fatty McMay at a wedding or something. Even some ESPN flunkie (JA Adande I'm talking to you), newspaper, anyone that actually gets paid to cover the team. I would not be a source, except I heard with my own ears Gerald Wallace say "Sean has to Go" also, MJ wears a Bluetooth ear piece for the whole game and it looks ridiculous.

Tell the truth, don't speculate, if you're speculating, at least run it through the trade machine.

[x2pacalypse]

this just in, hot off the press from the bavarian jesuit society...

the bobcats are looking to sign ignatius of loyala, an apparent attempt to find solidarity in their frontcourt

Loyala comes in averaging 11.3 ppg in the holy roman empire B-league along with 9.8 boards...he is most noteworthy, however, for his strict defense and ability to convert the opposition into a bunch of sporadic habsburgs

who will we cut though to make room? im thinking peter the great....he never really filled out into his 7'0 frame, a ryan hollins type player, don't get me wrong, he brings great intensity, but his relationship with the streltsy is putting a strain on this team...i feel he is destined for his career to be nothing more than a stopped up bladder


mmm ap euro, btw that eddy curry heart, baum reference was frickin awesome

How about Gangus khan and Atilla the Hun for Offense and Alexander the great for defensive presence.... :cool:

Catherine the Great? Dear god, no. Just imagine the embarrasment when the Pistons come to town wearing their late '90s throwbacks...

[x2pacalypse]

lol...and if we could get 2 great raiders in attila and khan that would be great, but alexander already stated he can't perform in small markets, plus he already says he wants to be a player-coach....which would mean brown had to leave

I'm getting far more enjoyment out of these posts than I should.

Beagle was your original post a reference to the Monty Pythons soccer skit? If so, I'm damn near sick that it just occurred to me, because it's a perfect accompaniment for this thread.

Philosophers' World Cup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92vV3QGagck) You know, my college roommate was a Python worshipper, but I never remember seeing this skit, and as hilarious as this one is, I would've remembered it! This was exactly how I saw it playing out in my mind though, just on a basketball court, not a soccer field. Great find, my man!

What did I tell you, ampstportsduo? I told you the Philosophers were getting a steal in Archimedes...after all, it was his epiphany that got the Greeks rolling to their only goal. Still, I really blame Luthor for giving the starting nod to Heidegger over Marx....that one cost them the game IMO. I look for Luthor to be fired, or else reassigned within the organization very soon. I hear they already have him nailing team schedules on random doors across Wittenberg as it is :rolleyes:

[Ghost Kat]

I love UNC:rkiss0:.... But NO MORE TARHEELS!!!!!!!!

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

hahaha that skit is hysterical... confucius as a referee?? hahaha

[Muttley]

Wow, that's awesome.

I love that Marx was arguing off-sides!

Beagle, I agree that you at least have to start the game with Marx. He's all about everyone putting in their foremost effort and sharing in the spoils of victory. Some argue though, that he shares the ball too much, which I can understand since not everyone needs a touch on the ball before a score.

On the other side, you've gotta respect Plato in goal. Though he may not be able to see the actual thing that is "ball", he's more than ready to stop the image of "ball" as he understands it in our plane of existence.

[Ampsportsduo]

"Heraclitus a little flick, here he comes on the far post, Socrates is there, Socrates heads it in! Socrates has scored! The Greeks are going mad, the Greeks are going mad. Socrates scores, got a beautiful cross from Archimedes. The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside."

Pardon me, while I stand and applaud.

I'll stand with you on that one! Absolutely beautiful comedy.

time to ressurect this thread...

it is no doubt that our team is being reformatted...this leads me to think of one thing....our basis ....Emperor Napoleon, is no doubt on his way out

he is no doubt our best player, and if placed on any other continent, would be an all-star leader...however europe's claustrophobic feel has made immortality and world conquering (nba championship) out of the question

napoleon no doubt inspired our team to play better, and we have seen vast increases of nationalism, however, competition in our european conference is just too great for us to compete this year......the 3rd coalition is no doubt rearing to kick our asses...we would be better in another conference, maybe the corsican league, from which we stole napoleon from for some no name (pasquale paoli hahaha he never lived up to his hype)...but this is not possible

our "secret" alliance with russia will not help us, as even though they are in a similar situation as us, their prior front office regime has been fixed under catherine the great, who has seeded the ideas of western influential expansion and josh smith


im thinking we are gonna trade napoleon to the ottoman empire for suleiman the magnificent and selim I (not to be confused with salim stoudemire)...though they are no where near napoleon's level, they are more serviceable, and i feel we can win just as many games while starting to thin out cap room for future leaders


what do yall think?

[davcbow]

Im all for the Attila for Felts trade, Attila was a bad azz.......:hypo:

[SWedd523]

We haven't really had much luck with small guards.

Napolean is a bit undersized at 5'2''/140 to run the point, so if he can bring some size then I'm all for it.

How 'bout we package him, Jane Austen (she was always a little soft for me), and a 2nd rounder for Alexander the Great and Davey Crockett?

We add some size and rebounding which we desperately need, and Alexander averages a respectable 17ppg. Davey Crockett brings some veteran toughness that we all know LB covets.

Make it happen FO!

[Ghost Kat]

Bad Idea to trade Felton:g:

Bad Idea to trade Felton:g:

He will just leave at the end of the year, so we may as well use his value in a trade...:cool:

[ALuhrs704]

Agreed. Theres no way we keep felton or may after this year, its DJ's time. And i think sean may wants to get into the cooking business, because he certainly doesnt act like he wants to improve in basketball
