Trade Rumors?

Let’s make it a 3 way deal and pick up LBJ for Acie and Graham while we’re at it

He has too many years at too much money to be useful to Washington. Trading for Jamison would probably require a 3rd team that could send expiring contracts to Washington. But the Bobcats would probably have to part with Gerald Wallace to get it done. No thanks.

I say the better route is to go for a smaller name player to backup Diaw at the 4. A bruiser inside to compliment his all around skill set.

Jamison is a great player, but we lose continuity if we trade Diaw now. He’s on the upswing and has proven to be part of Charlotte’s current winning formula. A 4 to come off the bench is the only real area of need for this team. It’ll only take a small move to accomplish this goal. Having said that, picking up Jamison could be a real coup if it works out.

No matter what kind of deal we propose, anything that includes trading away D.J. leave our future at pg pretty bleak.

He’s not the allstar that Jamison is. I acknowledged that above, but I’m arguing that the team needs a back up 4, not a new starter.

I love the ball movement that we get w/ Diaw and Jax working together. Let’s be realistic. Jamison is great and could take us to the conference finals. He could also struggle to fit in for 15-20 games and have a hard time learning LB’s system. Just look at every other new player that’s come in.

If we trade D.J. now, we’re almost certainly going to over pay for Felton in the offseason. I don’t want that to happen. Nate Rob is a great scorer of the bench, but I’d rather have a true pg. Murray doesn’t need to be replaced. He’s cheap and effective.

McGuire plays 6 mpg for the Wiz. You think he’s getting any minutes in LB’s system?

I’m looking at what makes the most sense for the team, not just cherry picking allstars off of other teams’ rosters. A proposal that I believe to be more realistic and more fitting for Charlotte’s needs would be Josh Boone for Raja Bell’s trade exception (and Graham is N.J. will take him off our hands). He only adds 2 mil in the final year of his contract. He plays D and rebounds (the perfect compliment to Diaw off the bench). I think he’s ultimately better at the 5, and would prefer to have a true PF, but I see this deal as doable. I also think it fills the team’s need.

They allow us to more or less maintain continuity, which is key. I think the Turiaf deal is the most realistic.
