Around SBN: Bob Sapp Denies Throwing Fights

Gerald Wallace, Nazr Mohammed Traded

It is being reported that Gerald Wallace has been traded to the Trail Blazers for Joel Przybilla and two first round picks (and maybe Dante Cunningham).

Also, the Bobcats have dealt Nazr Mohammed to the Thunder for D.J. White and Morris Peterson.

I'm not sure how to react yet, so I'm going to wait until the dust settles and to see what these first round picks are.

My initial reaction is that I'm really sad to see Gerald go, but two first round picks is a fantastic parting gift that couldn't slip through our hands.

Good job 2 first for our future pick them well will be whatching youuuu!

OMG

I saw 3pm pass and nothing transpired, so I thought nothing would happen. Props to MJ for playing hardball and forcing Portland to give up 2 first round picks instead of one. For the future, I think this is a very positive move, and will eventually benefit us, now that we’ll have 4 picks in the first round in the next two years or so. If you compare the Deron Williams trade, we actually got as many 1st rounders as was traded in that trade, so that’s pretty darn good value! Sad to see Crash go though…

As for Nazr, I’ll miss him also. He was a great bench player and veteran of the team, but Pryz will be able to fill that void adequately. Don’t know anything about DJ White or Peterson, however I’m confident we’ll be fine with Jax at the 3 and Hendo at the 2 now. Just in shock that this actually went down though!

by jkp1516 on Feb 24, 2011 3:52 PM EST reply actions  

We weren't a playoff threat with or without Wallace

Its time to rebuild. We already have some solid young players. Now we get to develop Hendo as a starter, and add a bunch of 1st round potential.

We just need to nail one of these draft picks and we’ll be sitting pretty for the forseeable future.

As I said in the other thread

Pryzbilla alone doesn’t make the deal work, and neither does adding Cunningham to the deal. I’m not saying anyone of note is coming along, but there is at least one other player included in the deal.

What's the details of the trade?

I’ve read Przybilla and a 2nd round pick, then I’ve read Przybilla and two 1st round picks…plus additional players? I know the additional players haven’t been revealed yet, but those picks are a very important factor as to if we got screwed or not…I am VERY sad to see Wallace go though…I wish him the very best!

ESPN Insider
UPDATE No. 3: Looks like Wallace did indeed get traded, despite the below report from Bonnell.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Wallace was traded in exchange for Przybilla and two future first-round picks.

With Przybilla out in the frontcourt and Batum starting at the 3 for Portland, Wallace could get burn as a power forward for the Blazers.

Hi MMA!

Nice to see you over here. This is my first time venturing onto the Bobcats blog from the Panthers blog.

Anyway, I had to see if the Wallace trade reports were true. I’m really very upset about it. Maybe it was needed for betterment in the future…I don’t know. But for right now, it’s hard to see the last original Bobcats player go…and the one I believe was the best all-around player on the team. =(

To make the sting even worse – I’m going to my first Bobcats game tomorrow. I missed out on seeing him live.

The Blazers own the Hornets first round pick this year. (traded straight up for Bayless)

Could be a nice asset since the Hornets are slipping (lost 7 of their last 10) and have a decent chance of not making the playoffs. I think the pick is top 6 protected.

Cunningham is actually a nice player and has reportedly been asked about by a bunch of different teams. He’s about the same size as Wallace (6’8, 227) but has spent much of the year playing CENTER next to Aldridge. He can guard just about anything on the floor and hits a remarkably consistent jumper from the elbow or the baseline. His shooting form indicates that he should be able to hit three’s and he’s talked about working on that, but I can’t remember ever seeing him attempts one. Maybe that’s because he’s too busy down low. He can also dunk when he gets the chance. He’s also had some pretty amazing chase down blocks this year.

if it's 2 1st round picks.

Then, I’m mad, but it’s a good move. If it’s anything other than that. I’m pissed, and it’s a bad move. Naz to OKC for Mo Pete and Dj White is ok. Chances they resign him after this season are slim, and his contract is up. We get depth at the 2, and a little cap relief. I’m calming down from all this. I still think we have a shot at the playoffs. This obviously hinges on the performance of our bigs, the return of Tyrus, and the play of Gerald Henderson.

Great job MJ

Two first round picks, unloaded salary, & added young players. I will miss Crash, but realistically, he didn’t have much left in the tank to justify $21 million over the next two years. Hopefully, they will take advantage of these draft picks and extra salary. I think MJ is doing a great job with this team. He’s not holding on to players for sentimental value, he’s being aggressive and working well to building a young, solid team.

If the draft were to start today (not taking into account lottery)...

We would own the:
- #10 overall pick (Charlotte)
- #18 overall pick (Portland)
- #21 overall pick (New Orlenans)

Based on current early NBA mock drafts that equates to:
- Jimmer Fredette, PG- BYU
- Lucas Nogueira, C- Brazil
- Chris Singleton, SF- Florida State

If Hendo can hit his jump shot consistently, then he could be better than Wallace offensively

And he’s a pesky defender as well. I don’t think we’ll have any drop off in our starting lineup. It’s just our rotation that might struggle… Hendo was a big factor in that way.

Question

Because I literally just started watching the Bobcats in January, and I know almost nothing about basketball other than what I learned playing in 4th grade (which was waaaaaay simplified, obviously) and what I’ve caught on to so far in the past 1 1/2 months.

Okay, finally made it to the question. Can Hendo really match Gerald defensively? Just from what I’ve seen, Gerald Wallace was a pretty nasty blocker. Is there anyone else on the team that comes close to being able to make those kinds (and that quantity) of blocks? Or will any of the players being traded to the Bobcats be able to match that?

by jamiedk on Feb 24, 2011 5:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Thomas has us covered on Sportscenter Top 10 blocks.

Hendo is tenacious on defense. I think he’s actually quicker to react to a ball handler’s first move than Wallace is; Hendo’s footwork is a tad bit better.

by JohnnyMac080 on Feb 24, 2011 4:55 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I'm not sure how I feel about this at all.

Basically we traded Wallace for 2 picks and cap space, essentially meaning MJ has shut the season down, which is exactly the opposite of what he promised us STH at the beginning of the season. His words were that he wouldn’t (and we shouldn’t) accept anything less than the playoffs.

In fact, I’m not happy, because next year’s draft isn’t going to be anything special regardless of having 3 first round picks, and we’re definately not making the playoffs this season. I don’t understand why we didn’t trade Jack and Diaw as well if the goal is to rebuild.

That was one game. Singler has been struggling past few games. He just broke out last night with 28. He is a better player then he showed in the UNC vs Duke game

His game doesn't translate to the league.

Adam Morrison was a much better player with a similar style game. Singler’s ceiling is 6th man

Singler has showed his toughness on more then one occasion you don’t agree with it that is fine. He put the team on his back last year leading them to a championship. He had a big game and defended Butler’s best player in the Final.

If one of the three lottery balls selected is for N.O.

We don’t get the pick this year. We have to wait until next year. Or if N.O. falls apart and is the 8th worst team in the NBA this year, we have to wait until next year for the pick.

Well, Sorensen hates the deal.

I thought it was hilarious that he called us “one of the Eastern Conference’s better bad teams” with Wallace on board, but that we are now terrible without him even though our new roster hasn’t played a single game yet.

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s game against Sac Town.

Whoever is dissing singler obviously has seen few of his games

I have seen EVERY SINGLE GAME he has played in. IF he gets more aggressive will be a good SF… he will have great size and a good hi/low game that translates to the NBA.

WRONG

Jay Williams was a beast, Boozer was better than I ever thought he would be in the NBA, Battier too, Grant Hill was an absolute monster in college, Kyrie Irving likely will be, Loul Deng is a solid player.

This coming from a UNC fan. I will not however co-sign on any Singler or Nolan Smith being more than 6th men in the league.

Next thing you’ll tell me is Mason Plumblee is going to make it in the NBA…

Not everybody makes it. Carolina has had its fair share of busts lately as well. Some guys translate some don’t. And if Josh McRoberts is still in the league then Mason can make it.

Sad moment, but a fair deal nonetheless.

Cunningham and 2 1st round picks = solid future.

and damn. Portland is going to be a bad ass team from now on. Can’t wait to see them in the playoffs against the Lakers. I would expect a tribute post for Gerald Wallace here in RoF soon. AND AT LEAST IT WAS PORTLAND, NOT CLEVELAND. Thank you, MJ.

We only receive their pick if it lands at 9th or lower.

So I want them to miss the playoffs, but only by a few spots.

So with what went down today...

We will most likely be selecting in the lottery this year with our 1st pick. Knowing that we want a SF to take over for Jax eventually, which one of these do you like?

The draft grades currently have these SF ranked as lottery picks:

4. Derrick Williams (Arizona)
6. Terrence Jones (Kentucky)
7. Harrison Barnes (UNC)
9. Jordan Hamilton (Texas)
12. Kawhi Leonard (SDSU)

great set of players right there and I really think that all of them will do well at the next level...

and I think either of the Morris twins from Kansas may be underrated and belongs up there as well

And as a Bobcats fan I gotta say....

I’m pretty happy with the trade today. MJ and the FO did a good job looking ahead at the future of this franchise and I hope that they finally got this one right! Now if we can just have a solid draft everyone can put the “MJ and leading an organization” BS to bed

by paison on Feb 24, 2011 8:25 PM EST reply actions  

Jax should have been traded also if MJ wants rebuilding

Bobcats looks like rebuilding through draft picks but they should also include Jax in this trade. Hopefully Paul Silas have a good choice in drafting players because I don’t trust MJ in drafting players. I think we are in the right direction of building more than a playoff team.

by mjfan on Feb 24, 2011 10:05 PM EST up reply actions  

I think Jax was kept because MJ still believes we will make playoffs...

The man can put up points, and will do so from the SF position

by andrewlail76 on Feb 24, 2011 10:13 PM EST up reply actions  

also possibly MJ wanted too much for Jax

It was reported that he wanted first round picks for either Wallce or Jax. Out of those 2 people are going to try and get Wallace first (great character guy, no history) over Jax with his perceived character flaws and history.

I think other teams would have taken Jax off our hand if we had a fire sale, but when we wanted at least parity in the trade and get value back I’m sure other teams would have backed away.

by Warmec on Feb 25, 2011 7:58 AM EST up reply actions  

We were probably offered a single first round pick from LA or Dallas for JAX

A low first round pick and mediocre players to make the salaried match is not enough.
