Trade Suggestion:Bobcats,Timberwolves,Rockets

Some guys that are cheap, young and could be productive…Ekpe Udoh and Brandan Wright come to mind…I would love to pry Serge Ibaka from OKC…Star in the making and he and Biyombo could become a Congo connection defensively down low…Dream scenario…

Looks pretty sweet for both teams…hmmmmm.

Wes Johnson is just a throw in he has a team option after next season. I’ll take Derrick Williams over Bismark any day. He is a project and with minutes Williams could be a beast. Some people compared him to Lebron while Bismark gets paired to Ben Wallace. 2013 draft is set to be loaded with taller better centers than he is. The Portland pick is a 20-23 pick at best. Bobcats could put top 8 on it but Portland is always that team that isn’t terrible but is to good to get a decent pick.

Keep in mind Wes Johnson does play out of position. He could be a decent back up sf.

Derrick Williams will be better than Bismark Biyombio period.Bismark is only 6’9. In the 2013 draft the Bobcats will have their choice of Andre Drummond, Nerlens Noel, or Steven Adams all of which are 6’11 or 7’0 and high prospects.

and I’m pretty sure he still hasn’t recovered since the Timberwolves offered the pick to everyone they could and made it known they were picking the pot head Beasley over him. He still is averaging 7.3 ppg and 3.8 rpg in 18 minutes.

because I want Drummond next year or Nerlens Noel who is being compared to Bill Russel or Steven Adams who is a 7 footer being compared to an athletic Joakim Noah and I know the Bobcats won’t take Drummond,Noel,or Adams if they have Biyombio on the roster. I don’t think the Bobcats should let the T-Wolves swap 2015 anymore, but basically they are trading a hit or miss pick and an offensively challenge undersize center for a player with loads of potential.

Derrick Williams, or as we call him, “D-Charge” is just alright. Surely he’ll be a fine player but only if people stop expecting #2 draft pick status from him. His college game and #‘s didn’t suggest he’d be a superstar and nothing he’s done suggests it now. He hasn’t shown an ability to play defense at all, either on or off the ball. He will be able to shoot, eventually. Think about a poor man’s Antawn Jamison type of player. Maybe a Jeff Green.

Wolves fans would LOVE this trade.

i give a big, fat PLEASE DO THIS

since all of the players listed will be gone after the 2012-2013 season except three, the trade ultimately comes down to this: biz for d williams and w. johnson. although w.johnson is a downgrade over Hendo, there’s no gauruntee Hendo would resign with the Bobcats anyway. so basically, our 2012-2013 roster looks like this:

Gaurds – Kemba Walker, W Johnson, Matt Carroll
Forwards – Corey Maggette, Terrence Williams, Reggie Williams, Derek Brown, Derek William
Centers – Brad Miller, Byron Mullens, DeSagana Diop

Since it makes the most sense for us to amnesty Tyrus Thomas, I chose to leave him off the list. That leaves our cap space at $43.955. I assume someone will sign T-Time for 4 million, so we’ll be responsible for the other 3 million on the back end, but it doesn’t count against the cap. That leaves us with 2 draft picks and 2 roster spots to fill via free agency. Clearly, our biggest need becomes F/C and back-up PG, so we can look to the draft for those. If we’re lucky, we get Anthony Davis with the top pick.

The first pick will cost us 4.29 million, however, it won’t count against the cap. A second round pick will be less than $850 thousand. That leaves us about 14 million to sign two free agents and still stay under the cap. Although we’ll be over the cap because of the rookie and (probably) Thomas contracts, we’ll be nowhere near the luxury tax level. That’s money that I hope is wisely spent on Eric Gordon or, if he falls through, OJ Mayo. By the by, under the new CBA, unless Eric Gordon earns the MVP this year, the most he can make next season is 9 million since he hasn’t been to any all-star games (the Derrick Rose rule). That’s good news, since we know the most we, or anyone else, can offer him. The same goes for Mayo, although I’m not sure he’s worth 9 million.

BTW, we should be going after Gordon/Mayo regardless of whether or not this trade goes through.

for Devin Harris and 1st rd pick…
