Bobcats/Pacers Trade Idea?

[teej]

Like a couple of you noted, Hansbrough is still dealing with the effects of vertigo and it's not a guarantee he'll play in the NBA again. Perhaps that's a bit morbid, however at this point the whole situation is just bizarre.

And hell no to TJ Ford. Again.

What is his appeal? The guy does nothing but look for his own shot and he's not a good enough scorer to warrant that mentality.

I don't like TJ, but he's a PG. We have Tyrus, McGuire and Lexy at the 4, so losing Diaw wouldn't hurt too much. We have DJ and likely Sherron Collins at the point. That's it.

What about Diaw and Lexy for TJ Ford, Solomon Jones and a second?

He is a position of need...he is an expiring...allows us to move diaw's 2 year contract...is TJ great? no...but him and dj 2gether sounds better then just dj

I wouldn't hate it, but is this any better than just signing AI? Our options are pretty limited so I think one these two is going to have to happen. Neither is ideal, but the one thing we can all agree on is that going into the year with just DJ isn't an option.

Seriously, let's stop with the AI crap guys.

[Demon DeaCat]

Why is it crap? We need a pg. Who else is out there? We complain about DJ. We complain about Ford. We complain about AI. We're not going to be able to trade for CP so like it or not, AI is as reasonable an option as anything else we have.

[SWedd523]

AI has been run out of the last three teams he's played for, and all three of them needed a PG.

[Demon DeaCat]

I don't think it's accurate to say he was run out of Philly last year, unless you have factual information (not rumors) to substantiate that he left for reasons other than his daughter being sick. He played pretty well for them averaging 14 and 4.

Right now DJ is our only pg with NBA experience. That's a pretty desperate situation to be in. Unless a better option emerges prior to training camp, it would be foolish not to at least consider AI.

SIGN IVERSON!

lol but I dont see anything wrong with this trade....Ford=decent pg and expiring....Hans=decent young guy;back up 4 tyrus

[Wolfpackbobcat]

id rather have overpaid felton than sign iverson...and no to an undersized hansblow (spelling?)

[Wolfpackbobcat]

joking aside i really dont want him...he is really undersized/lack of offensive moves
