Cats interested in Diop?

[ALong13]

I've heard from several sources the Bobcats are more active than in the past, exploring free-agent opportunities. One possibility: Former Nets center DeSagana Diop.

Don't know how serious their interest is in Diop, but certainly another big man "at an affordable price" is worth considering.

Thoughts on Diop to Charlotte?

diop plays good defense and thats about it....i am really not a fan

I don't think signing DeSagana Diop is going to help make the Bobcats a playoff team because he is not an offensive threat at all. I would rather stick with Nazr Mohammed at the 5 because he has a decent mid range jump shot and he's a good rebounder..... dang I wish Roy Hibbert had been there at #20!

we wouldnt have drafted him anyway...LB a hard on for aljica.

Oh well I read that Larry Brown was in love with Roy Hibbert and thought that he would still be around so that's why we traded to get the 20th pick.

the jordan and LB was thinking about drafting aljica at 9....that would have been a coup

No they drafted D.J. Augustin thinking Hibbert would still be there at #20. If they knew Hibbert was going to be gone they would have drafted Brook Lopez at #9.

If that was the case I think we would have made more of an effort to get Hibbert. They probably were content with more than one person @ #20.

nah actually all the reports i've heard have been that Hibbert was just a smokescreen and that Larry was gonna get Ajinca no matter what. at whatever pick possible. 9 or 20. it just worked out for us.

Signing him would be a Diop in the bucket
