Bobcats-Cavs in talks for Jamison trade

[GOBOBCATS24]

Latest rumor has us sending DJA to Portland in exchange for Jamal Crawford. Not sure this move makes too much sense unless we are getting Jamal to mentor Kemba.

... can they throw in Gerald Wallace?

Money doesn't match in that deal. Include Diaw and Datum and it might

I heard a pundit say earlier that as soon as teams mention Batum's name Portland basically hang up the phone. Apparantly he is untouchable and not available. Not my words, I am just the messenger!

Hey Swedd, how does the CLE deal you proposed save them any money? After putting it in the machine I'm showing a wash this year, then them being on the hook for an extra 6 million for Bad Porn vs. Sessions the following year?

Portland deal...I don't know what our motivation would be for that one. Crawford will opt out as he'll be going for a bigger contract and I doubt I'll want to pay him what he'll likely get on the open market. Wouldn't this be just like letting DJ walk for nothing?

3 way:

Cha out: DJ/Boris/Bad Porn
Cha in: Sessions/Crawful/Jamison/POR 2nd

Cle out: Sessions/Jamison/Gibson
Cle in: Boris/Bad Porn/Thomas

Por out: Crawful/Thomas/2nd
Por in: DJ/Gibson

Including Gibson for Thomas just about makes it even in regards of in/out salary for Cleveland. Portland pays a somewhat more appropriate price for DJ.

Yes, Batum please. Not sure why we'd go after Crawford in this deal. I imagine that's who the Blazers want to send out. He's certainly a good player and I believe he's got a player option at $5 million next year. Not a terrible price, but I would rather put that money towards Batum.

I can tell you that the Cavs don't want a player in return for Sessions. They want a 1st round pick for him. Good luck getting that from us! If we can dump Tyrus or Spaghetti on them for Jamison I would be ecstatic! We could resign him for the Vet min in the offseason and he can really mentor our young players. His touch around the rim is something that few players possess. He is basically the Boris Diaw that wants to score and do all the little things.

Poorly worded on my phone during class.

A team like Cleveland might be adverse to losing such a big expiring contract in Jamison, especially when taking on another year of salary in Maggette. Diaw, while not due $15mil like Jamison, is still a pretty sizeable (lol) expiring deal. So they still "save" $9mil in cap space.

If we do get Jamison maybe we can trade Diop to Cavs after all Diop was drafted by the Cavs. As far Crawfordgo he is a better shooter then DJ. I think if we get Crawford we might not keep him and instead trade him to a team like Minn

It's about time that some of these rumors are starting to leak out. The deadline is upon us and it's been really quiet unless your name is Howard, Gasol or Rondo.
