Bonnell says it might involve a Jack for Maggette swap, and cats would end up with the 10th pick

but he's retarded so we shall see

6/23/2011 4:24:07 PM

beware the bonnell

Quote :

"Bobcats may end up with 7th, 9th picks The Charlotte Bobcats are closing in a deal that could leave them with the seventh and ninth picks in tonight's NBA draft, two league sources just confirmed for the Observer. The sources said the Bobcats would give up the 19th pick. The same sources wouldn't divulge whether current Bobcats would be part of the deal, which apparently involves the Sacramento Kings and/or the Milwaukee Bucks. It's likely the Bobcats would use one of those two lottery picks on Texas forward Tristan Thompson."

6/23/2011 4:25:35 PM

shit if they get 7, take Leonard...he should be around

but Bonnell might be fooling us all

"@WojYahooNBA Partial of deal: Bucks get Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, sources say. Charlotte gets the 7th pick and Corey Maggette."

6/23/2011 4:27:36 PM

Maggette is making some serious scratch for the next 2 seasons

a little more than Jackson, but i don't think Maggette is nearly as good

6/23/2011 4:29:10 PM

The team is going nowhere fast, so jackson vs magette the player isn't as important as jackson vs magette the contract.

And since its basically a wash, getting another lottery pick would be a coup

6/23/2011 4:31:35 PM

well they both have 2 years left, and are just about even in salary

Maggette: $10.2 mil/$10.9 mil
Jackson: $9.2 mil/$10 mil

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 4:34 PM. Reason : yeah the lottery pick mitigates the talent disparity]

6/23/2011 4:33:48 PM

Really like the sound of the trade for the Cats.

6/23/2011 4:39:26 PM

Chad Ford briefly reported the Bobcats were giving up 9/19/Jackson and would get 7 and Maggette.

i almost got really mad. then he corrected it, Bobcats keep 9.

"@chadfordinsider Corrected deal: Bucks get Beno, Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston & 19. Bobcats get pick 7 & Maggette. Kings get 10 & John Salmons."

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 4:43 PM. Reason : so 7, 9, and Maggette minus Jackson and Livingston. Look at Cho go!]

12 - Bismack Biyombo
Congo

* Birthday: 8/28/92
* NBA Position: Center
* Class: International
* Ht: 6-9
* Wt: 243
* Team: Fuenlabrada
* Hometown: Lubumbashi, Congo



Please draft this guy based on an amazingly odd name.

6/23/2011 4:44:07 PM

Not bad, mag and Jax have same 2 yrs 20 mil left and we move from 19 to 7.

Jax fell off huge last year he's about done and was blocking Henderson's minutes.

We also clear livingstons salary

6/23/2011 4:44:07 PM

To me it sound real good to me

6/23/2011 4:44:08 PM

The new GM already wheeling and dealing?

6/23/2011 4:46:13 PM

ok if thats how its going down, good

as long as we don't give up the 9th pick

6/23/2011 4:53:08 PM

why doesnt MJ toss some of his own dough in there and make a splash at the #2.

6/23/2011 4:55:17 PM

So its almost a lock now we take Tristain Thompson at 7, because Detroit wants him at 8

So at 9, do we go Kemba? I like Klay Thomson, even if I don't care for how he spells his name

The more I think about this trade, the more I like it.

We agree to swap Jax for Maggette (an all-time "who cares?" move for a rebuilding team), and move our second pick up 12 spots in the process this year. CHO-WNED.

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 4:57 PM. Reason : x]

6/23/2011 4:55:30 PM

you just like Klay Thomson cause he reminds you of Tamar Slay

6/23/2011 4:59:41 PM

Lol why the hell do you trade into this years weak draft, especially considering there could be a lockout.

Anybody smart should swap all their picks this year for next year.

6/23/2011 5:02:20 PM

lack of stars, but there is depth. and why not? you can't keep waiting around to make moves. i like the initiative.

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 5:04 PM. Reason : lockout is shitty, but you've got to try something with a struggling franchise]

6/23/2011 5:03:27 PM

what is Walker's ceiling...Ben Gordon? Allen Iverson?

6/23/2011 5:04:08 PM

i would say closer to AI than Gordon as far as a ceiling goes

but who knows if he'll ever get there. i do like his scoring tenacity, the Bobcats desperately need that attitude.

6/23/2011 5:06:25 PM

More of a Tim Hardaway/Bobby Jackson type than a pure scorer like those guys

6/23/2011 5:20:41 PM

would we really pick chris singleton over kemba walker if both are available at 9?

6/23/2011 5:22:31 PM

With Jordan's track record in the draft, he could have 5 lottery picks & still fuck it up

6/23/2011 5:22:38 PM

Maggette will be in heaven being the #1 option on a bad team. He'll put up 20ppg, with half of it coming on free throws.








And he'll average 0.1 assists.

6/23/2011 5:33:41 PM

I really hope we dont take Tristan.

Kahwi looks like a future star, Faried looks really solid, and Biyombo is a total hit/miss pick but he looks worth the risk.

We could use a backup PG so Kemba Walker makes some sense but it's pretty stupid to waste a lottery pick on a backup PG when there's so much frontcourt talent available and we have glaring holes there.

6/23/2011 5:42:20 PM

i'm not so sure kemba couldn't supplant dj rather easily after maybe a season

6/23/2011 5:45:00 PM

we will have a legit scorer now. yah for 60 pts a game.

6/23/2011 5:46:14 PM

My totally uneducated list of guys i like in this draft: Kanter, K Thompson, Valanciunas, Motiejunas, Leonard, Butler, J Johnson, Cole, Mack, Selby

6/23/2011 5:49:59 PM

Selby and Klay are guaranteed busts according to all the numbers.

Selby's numbers might not do him justice since he had an odd season but Klay is a near lock to suck.


Kemba isn't anything special and even if he could supplant DJ (doubt it) that isn't an upgrade. What's the point of taking a guy who you think might be slightly better than the average PG you already have. We need a big man terribly. Diaw is an awful starting center and diop is an even worse backup center.

lol Van Gundy

6/23/2011 6:07:33 PM

Trade #7 and #9 for the #2. Draft Derrick Williams and finally get a potential superstar on this team.

Damn, Kyrie looks way taller than Kemba.

6/23/2011 7:06:06 PM

what is he, 1" taller?

6/23/2011 7:12:42 PM

They are listed basically the same, but the in the group stage shot, Irving looked about 3 inches taller. Maybe it was his shoes or something, or maybe Kemba is only about 5'11-6-0.

6/23/2011 7:14:58 PM

chad ford's latest mock has brandon knight falling all the way to 9 (thompson picked at 7)

6/23/2011 7:32:41 PM

Kemba supposedly 5'11" barefooted, 6'1" in sneakers

Irving is listed at 6'2" so i dunno

6/23/2011 7:34:55 PM

Bitch Smack + Kemba would be nice
