    Default NBA.co article: Crash for a Center in a few days?

    http://www.nba.com/2008/news/12/10/a...ade/index.html

    Really interesting read. Says LB unhappy with our Defense, hence the trade. Wants to move Okafor to PF and get a true Center. Plans to do that via trade using Crash.

    LB is on a roll with changing this team around. By mid season, 3/4 of our roster may be new! I hope he knows what he's doing.

    Does that mean that Morrison will become a starting SF?

    What self respecting NBA player would actually come here voluntarily after this...

    I dont know guys. We did get much better defensively from the trade. I would want to see what else LB does. He isn't a dummy, so he must have a plan. And he's working that plan, so let's see what he has in store for us.

    You're partly right about that; I'd just modify it by deleting "after this." Only Smitty in year one and DA in year three were quality players that came here voluntarily. Unless MJ has a verbal agreement with a FA '10 member, I don't see us saving up cap space to make a run at anyone cause they won't come here to play; the NBA sees Charlotte as a minor league team and probably will until the team gets better or gets a new owner.

    Kaman's been hurt for a couple weeks now...maybe the Clips, struggling as they are, are ready to make a move now. I don't want to see Crash go, but if they give him enough time to adjust to the recent death of his grandma, and we get a solid 5 out of it, I'm fine with a trade.

    In the thread, "problems with the bobcats," I said anything short of a clean house would keep this franchise choking away close games forever, so I'm all for it as long as DJ and Lexy are untouchable....and I'm 99% certain they are.

    I feel that if the Clippers were close to the playoffs Kaman for Wallace would work...but they basically have no chance now. Camby has been playing extremely well and it shows that Kaman isn't needed.....but Camby is older and won't be around much longer. If I was the Clippers I would like a Kaman/Randolph backcourt and look to trade Camby while his value is really high.

    How about Kaman and Thornton for Wallace and Felton/Carroll/May (pick one)

    David Aldridge just reported on a NBA TV interview that Gerald Wallace will be traded in a week, or maybe even sooner. Here's a link to the video of the interview.

    http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nb...ats_trade.nba/

    I think we should keep Wallace until at least the trade deadline to see how diaw and bell fit in the lineup with the players we currently have. I don't think trading for a center like Kaman or Brad Miller will help us out, as Emeka is too slow to play the 4 when he has face the mobile 4's around the league
