Bobcats Acquire Josh McRoberts

[Ghost Kat]

Mullens was lonely, we needed another white guy for the racial diversity quota. I think we might be slightly over our light skin to dark skin ratio though

Steve Kyler explained it on twitter earlier, if you search out his account it explains it there. I'm not sure about exactly how, but the TPE from Ryan Anderson was used.

Tyler is saying that they extended the window for the TPE. The Anderson TPE expired on July 9th, so basically they renewed 3.1 million of it (McBob's salary) for approx. 7 months.

They didn't save anything and actually lost a couple hundred thousand (prorated diff. between the two). They did keep flexibilty though so I guess that was their motivation. Their cap as is stands around 48 million which is ridiculous considering. LOL at Turk and his 12 million player option. Makes me feel slightly better about the Cancer's PO next season (not really).

Do we need another soft perimeter oriented big man on the team? Especially one that couldn't get off the bench of one of the worst teams in the league? Sure we saved a little money but WTF?

Lol we're not making the playoffs and were not going to resign him lol why does it matter?

I for one like the trade. Makes us younger and saves MJ some money. Does not hurt us one bit.

McRoberts does like to pass, which is an overall team weakness on the Bobcats. Streaky shooter, got the size to be a good rebounder. Also a 32.7% career 3-point shooter.
Agree he could develop into a poor-man's Byron Mullins under Dunlap. Mullens is a way better player this season working with Dunlap.
Warrick relies more on his quicks and agility to get boards and score. For whatever reason, he has fallen off in his play the last several years.

Alright, alright. I dont care. With two non-entities if you save 1 dollar in a trade its a positive. its a good day.

Actually, we to buy the Orlando Magic a $300 gift card to Denny's, so we actually lost money.

McRoberts makes less than Warrick by about $800,000. Bobcats sending Magic some cash as part of transaction.

so there you go

[spectre]

Wait...there was cash involved and we weren't the recipients?

PROGRESS!

I've had my eye on McBob too. IMO he could end up being a very useful player for us. I don't see him as a poor man Mullens tho; more of a big distributor (not great, but decent) that we've sorely lacked.

Definite upgrade over Warrick.
