Official Bobcats Trade & Trade Ideas/Rumors Thread

[Monta is beast]

He's been more efficient this year, but the past two, he had a eFG% under .500 and a ORTG under 100. 100 is right around average to below average offense. I can't really see where his defense is improving either. Centers better than Biedrins:

Dwight, Bynum, Brook Lopez, Kaman, Bogut, Noah, Paul Gasol, Marc Gasol, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire, Al Jefferson...oh wait, I'm already past 10.

This year Ellis's offensive rating is at 109. To compare Wallace's offensive rating is at 101. So Ellis has a better scoring ratio then Wallace. But Wallace makes a living on defense & rebounding. So to compare Ellis's defensive rating which is at 112, which is pretty good, & Wallace's which is at 105 which is also pretty good there is not that big of a gap between the two. So that were Ellis's defense is improving.

How is Bynum better then Biedrins when he has not played this year, & he is comming of a major injury. The Lakers dont know what they are going to get out of him. Kaman & Biedrins's stat line are prtty much equal. Kaman's line is 10.5 points & 7.1 rebounds per game. Biedrins's line is 6.7 points & 9.8 rebounds per game. So you could argue that Biedrins is better then Kaman. Noah is out with a major injury, but when is healthy is way better then Biedrins. Pau Gasol is not a center. Al Jefferson is not a center. So exluding this four out there's only 7 on that list.

Yeah, this year, through about 1/4 of a season, Ellis has been efficient offensively. Based on the past two FULL seasons, though, he's been horrible. There's no reason to think he's changed. A DRTG of 112 is not good, its borderline horrible. If you think that's good you're clueless as to how DRTG works. I would much rather have Wallace than Ellis on my team, and its not even close.

Bynum is better than Biedrins, period. It isn't his fault that he's hurt, and that doesn't diminish the fact that he's a good player. Kaman is better than Biedrins, he's overrated but Biedrins is just bad. Pau Gasol plays center. Al Jefferson starts at center for Utah.

[Appstate2012]

Ya since our team is so good. Almost blow a 20 point lead to the pistons tonight.

[IshHappens]

Yahoo reporting Houston is trying to trade Yao and is in talks with "multiple teams", which they don't name.

Would you be in favor of acquiring him? Either he shows promise in his recovery this year and we sign him to a short deal, or we let his $18 million contract expire after this year and clear tons of cap room.

[homestarunner93]

Yes. I would do Jackson+Diop+Carroll in a heartbeat.

We are almost 40% through the season. And Ellis is starting to become a leader. Last year he had problems with the Warriors managment & some players, & that what cause his game to not develope. This year he has imbraced his role & hes playing great. And Ellis's defensive rating is 112 & Wallace's defensive rating is 105. So if Ellis is borderline horrible then so is Wallace. So there is no difference between the two on defense. Not to mention that Ellis is three years younger then Wallace is.

Bynum is injured, so how can he be better? Kaman is not better. If anything he is worse. And if you say Bynum is a center & Gasol is a center how does that work? Your controdicting yourself.

[GreatMustachio1]

I just think that it is hilarious how this guy will not let this Biedrins thing so. Soo funny. haha

We understand that you love you team. Let it go. Jesus Christ, i cant take reading all this bickering

[The_Mac22]

Warriors fan here.. What would you guys want for Wallace?

I don't find Ellis a leader. He's a cancer. And how can you say that there's no difference between the two on defense? That's really the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. You just said it yourself in your own post, Ellis' DRTG is 112 and Wallace's is 105. That's the difference between great and well below average. That isn't even close to equal.

So what if Bynum is injured? That automatically makes him worse? Using that logic, Bynum is a worse center than DeSagana Diop. How is contradicting to say Bynum and Gasol both play center? Last time I checked, no center logs 48 MPG, and every single team in the league carries more than one player capable of playing center.

***I know it says trade failed. Would have to wait til Feb 18th for it to go through, but salaries match up otherwise.***

Bobcats get: Yao Ming --- Quentin Richardson --- Earl Clark --- Omer Asik
Bobcats trade: Gerald Wallace --- Boris Diaw --- Matt Carroll --- Kwame Brown --- Derrick Brown
Bobcats start the rebuilding by getting 2 promising young players in Clark & Asik while also getting $8 million in savings from the insurance on Yao's expiring deal.

Bulls get: Jason Richardson --- Courtney Lee --- Chase Budinger --- Kwame Brown --- Ishmael Smith
Bulls trade: Luol Deng --- Taj Gibson --- Omer Asik --- James Johnson --- Keith Bogans
Bulls get needed scoring from the guard positions in the form of Jason Richardson & Courtney Lee. Budinger is another guy for the Bulls who can hit shots from outside when Rose drives. Getting J-Rich's expiring deal and get rid of Deng's bad contract is also a plus. But losing a couple of promising young bigs in Taj Gibson & Omer Asik hurts though.

Magic get: Gerald Wallace --- Boris Diaw --- Keith Bogans --- Derrick Brown
Magic trade: Jason Richardson --- Quentin Richardson --- Ryan Anderson --- Earl Clark
Magic get the proven size they are looking for in Wallace & Diaw, but give up some valuable pieces to get it. This deal elevates their push for a title even more.

Rockets get: Luol Deng --- Taj Gibson --- Matt Carroll --- Ryan Anderson --- James Johnson
Rockets trade: Yao Ming --- Courtney Lee --- Chase Budinger --- Ishmael Smith
Rockets get A LOT of young talent, but they give up some in the process and give up Yao's valuable expiring contract as well. They would need to make another deal or 2 to free up enough roster space however.

Let me know what you guys think!
