Bobcats acquiring B.J. Mullens from Oklahoma City Thunder

[SuperKemba]

Here's a pretty good video of him playing guys...

Where is Hilton Armstrong, Josh Boone or a big like them. Mullens will fill a hole but we need experience. Well maybe with The Biz now we have enough but one more won't hurt

The kid still has potential. And we need a big who can at least play some since Diop is useless. Giving up a 2nd in 2013 for a kid who was a 1st round pick a few years ago - good job Cho. Charlotte is also getting cash in the deal to help pay some of the salary.

Don't know the kid at all but its no way he produces any less than Diop . Ely isn't guarnteed either . We may as well give a young kid a chance as to playing old players who we know can't contribute and has no fucture at all with us. What Ohara said, CHO

[CatNation1]

Are his menisci intact?

A great move. As Swedd said, he was a highly touted baller coming out of high school. He came out too early for sure, as he needed to develop his game more. He's got this year and next year to prove he belongs in the NBA. Given we pay a second rounder and the contract of a low first rounder for him, I think he's well worth the pick up.

This isn't a trade that makes us a playoff team, but it's a low risk buy on a possible high reward player.

He's got legit height too, which is something we lack. Also, he's only 22. Guy could still grow a lot as a player.

Here's his draft comparison card from '09, which, granted, only counts so much.

Yeah. And screw experience.

I'd rather have a young kid like him blow up and fail then watch some old guy like Ely get minutes.

Amen to that, I understand you need vets for a winning team, but why not take a risk on someone like him. We have nothing to lose
