Bobcats Off Season Trade Rumors

[Proudiddy]

Wow. Hard to say... If it was top 3 then I would've done it for Kanter, if not turning it down was the right move.

Happy we didnt jump at that, thinking earlier in the draft is better. Everyone knows this draft has few stars but is very deep. Thats exactly why we should not trade up, im happy with our two picks

Cho will make Bobcats better with his mind

Wonder which team it was? Good idea or no?

Given the perceived drop off in talent, I have no doubt it was the 4th or 5th pick, if not the 5th pick. (Otherwise, why not just say "top 3" or "top 4" pick?)

If that's the case, I feel pretty good about keeping the picks.

[The Prodigy]

Im glad they didnt pulll the trigger. The only top 5 talent that would be worth it IMO is Kanter, and it was likely the 4th or 5th pick that was being offered.

I think we can land two good players with our picks, and would like to keep them.

Its excellent to know that we are looking at making deals that would help the team though.

Makes me wonder if it was the Jazz. It'd give us the #3 pick, and the Jazz #9, #12 and #19. I do like Kanter, but I don't know if he's worth putting all our eggs in his basket, as the article says. You can get very solid rotation players and, as Cho likes to put it, more assets by keeping those picks and working with them than throwing it all in Kanter. I think he'll be good, I'm just not sure I'd give up flexibility to use draft picks as trading chips for just him.

I just have to question what the odds really are that we get an impact player at 19. In all our non-lottery picks we've hit on 1...Jared Dudley.

IMO the FO is going way too "safe". Going that route is one of the reasons Chris Paul is with NOLA right now.

Don't know any of these guys other than what's been printed over the last month or so. Maybe what they're thinking is right. Guess we'll see.

I posted this on RGM's trade board and most think it was the Raptors. Makes sense to me as well.

If we could pull together a deal to get top 5 this year and a 1st rounder next year by throwing in 32 or a player, that would be the only way I'd say pull the trigger on a deal like that, but as of right now there's no reason to put all the eggs in one basket as was said before. I'd say at 19 we need either a usable Center (if there is one) or a 3 point shooter.

Hmm......a few weeks ago I wouldn't have done it. BUT, now I am really just not sure about who we should draft. If we could trade up for a guy like Kyrie or Williams I may have to do it. I love guys we can get at our current picks like Klay Thompson/Alec Burks/Kawhi Leonard/Nikola Vucevic/etc...but Im not set it stone with anyone. If the team ends up deciding that Kyrie or Williams is available and we think they could change the franchise, we should make the trade.
Now for a guy like Brandon Knight...I just dont know. I like Kemba more than Knight and Kemba may be available at 9.
Kanter? I dont know and I may be crazy but I think Vucevic will be a better pro. And he will be available at 19.

This draft is so darn confusing....

I wonder if it is 4 and say the draft goes - Irving, Williams, Knight.... with Kanter sitting at 4, do you do it then? I think Cleveland would be silly to pass up Irving and Kanter for their future, but what if they'd rather have assets. Tough call with quality over quantity and I agree fully with Spectre's take about the quality at 19. Do you gamble that someone falls to us at 9 like Vesely, Valucianas or Leonard. This draft is just such a crap shoot that if it's Kanter for #9 and #19, I'd have to consider it. Plus, there's such confusion if we go big at 9, we have to come back with a wing at 19 and will a starter be there. At the same time, if we go SG or SF at #9, will there be a big at 19? So hard to see this draft with 20/20 vision....lol
