Charlotte Bobcats Rumours

21 Jun 2025 14:33:26
Boston - Charlotte

Boston - M Williams, J Green

Charlotte - K Porzingis, J Walsh, 1st round pick 2026, 1st round pick 2028 (top 20 protected)

Celtics end up with an inside presence and a serviceable wing to add depth, also saves money in the process

Charlotte adds 2 picks and Kristaps could thrive there with Lamelo and Miller

The Dalton Knecht dillema has a dark side. Y get traded but then y need to go back?

Since Hornets still want to execute the trade and they have traded for Nurkic, maybe LAL and CHA agree on the to swap the players but LA keeps a pick - because Williams has health issues not mention.

Hornets have trade for Nurkis and get two young wings - Lakers a Center also if it may only short term or backup.

CHA Dalton Knecht, Reddish
LAL Mark Williams

SAC - CHA - POR

Sacramento receives: Grant, Martin, Richards

Charlotte receives: Huerter

Portland receives: DeRozan

SAC depth:
Fox / Carter / McLaughlin
Monk / Ellis / Jones
Grant / Martin / McDermott
Murray / Lyles / Crowder
Sabonis / Richards / Len

CHA depth:
Ball / Mann / Micic / Smith
Green / Huerter / Curry
Miller / Jeffries
Bridges / G. Williams / Salaun
M. Williams / Diabate

POR depth:
Simons / Henderson / Banton
Sharpe / Thybulle / Rupert
DeRozan / Avdija
Camara / Murray / Walker
Ayton / Clingan / Williams / Reath

The Kings move Huerter to round out their bench and save enough money to absorb Grant's salary and barely avoid the luxury tax. Grant's ability to be a threat to shoot / drive from the perimeter should create more of an equal opportunity offense, and he is an improvement on defense over DeRozan.

The Hornets create a solid 3-man rotation at SG / SF with Miller, Green, and Huerter. They open up a roster spot for subsequent moves.

The Blazers move Grant's 4yr/$132m (safe to assume he picks up the player option) remaining contract for DeRozan's 3yr/$74m (3rd year partially guaranteed / $58m total guaranteed). With limited suitors for Grant, they may be willing to prioritize future flexibility first. DeRozan could have a positive impact on the young roster, or they could flip him in another trade.

05 Dec 2024 23:36:08
Why trade Mann he's doing well.

30 Nov 2024 15:47:25
Minnesota - Brooklyn - Charlotte

Lakers aim for the 2026 free agency class

06 Nov 2024 11:23:23
Chicago Bulls are going nowhere, they should just rebuild around young players like Giddey, White & Dosonmu and trade away their vets for the best possible deal they can get

Lavine's value is low to negative due to his contract and injury concerns, there might be a few teams that will have an interest like Lakers, Hornets or even the Clippers

Vooch can still help a contender, he has value of a late first or few seconds maybe

Lonzo could be unloaded too with his expiring contract

Let me try some deals:

Charlotte-Chicago-San Antonio 3-way deal

Charlotte acquires: Zach Lavine, Blake Wesley
- they need a big name for the city, if healthy, the starting 5 could be a fun team to watch with athleticism all around

Ball - Mann - Curry
Lavine - Micic
Miller - Wesley
Bridges - Smith - Salaun
Williams - Richards

Chicago acquires: Zach Collins, Josh Green, Grant Williams, Cody Martin & 1st round pick from Spurs

Giddey - Lonzo - Carter
White - Dosonmu - THT
Williams - Martin - Green
Williams - Buzelis
Smith - Collins


Spurs acquires: Nikola Vucevic, 2nd round picks from Bulls & Hornets
- with Sochan out, Wemby can move to pf position and let Vooch man the paint

Paul - Jones
Vassell - Castle - Champagnie
Barnes - Johnson - Branham
Wembanyama - Bassey
Vucevic - Mamukelashvili

07 Nov 2024 19:05:22
Not a good trade for Chicago if they dont get their own 2025 pick back from SA.

03 Nov 2024 17:29:07

Spurs: Giannis
Bucks: Barnes+sochan+Collins+ 1rnd pick Atl 25-27+ 1rnd pick Chi 25+ 1rnd pick Cha 25+ 1rnd pick Spurs (or Atl swap 26+ 1rnd pick Spurs 28 (or Boston)+ 1rnd pick Spurs 29

2)Bucks-Miami
Miami:D Lilliard
Bucks: T Herro+ D Robinson+ 1rnd pick Heat 29

Spurs:
C:Wemby
PF:Giannis
SF:Jonhson
SG:Vassell
PG:CP3/Castle

27 Oct 2024 21:48:10

PG: Murray, Westbrook
SG: Braun, Micic
SF: Bogdanovic, Watson, Strawther

ATL: Josh Green & 1st round pick via DEN

PF: Johnson, Krejci
CE: Capela, Okongwu

CHA: Michael Porter Jr
- gets additional firepower

PG: Ball, Mann
SG: Miller, Curry
SF: Porter Jr, Martin
PF: Bridges, Salaun, Gibson
CE: Williams, Richards, Smith

28 Oct 2024 17:41:53
I don't think Denver has to give up a first in this scenario, especially for that package.

21 Oct 2024 00:11:39
CHA - LAC - POR - MIA

CHA: Tyler Herro
- gets a dynamic SG to pair with Ball & Miller

Ball
Herro
Miller
Bridges
Williams

LAC: Jerami Grant, Duncan Robinson, 1st round pick & swap with MIA
- gives James Harden a new running mate instead of just waiting for Kawhi to have any interest again

Harden
Mann
Jones Jr
Grant
Zubac

POR: Grant Williams, Josh Green, 1st round pick MIA & CHA
- get assets for Grant

Henderson
Simons
Sharpe
Avdija
Ayton

MIA: Kawhi Leonard
- the only logical place for Kawhi that I can think of right now. Wont give much though

Rozier
Butler
Leonard
Jovic
Adebayo

21 Oct 2024 12:07:12
Without looking at if the money works, I actually like this quite a bit. I've been thinking about Kawhi to Miami for a while now.

21 Oct 2024 13:59:59
Hornets give up two rotation guys and a first for Herro? Wow so ball Herro defense will work?

25 Oct 2024 13:35:58
That charlotte pick should be lottery protected.

Really really hate this for Orlando.

04 Aug 2024 17:50:23
Magic doesnt need injury prone players, they want to compete at a high level. Suggs alone is as valuable as Ball because of health.

07 Aug 2024 22:47:09
Replace Suggs with Anthony Black and Cole with Harris.

This is really bad for San Antonio.

20 Jun 2024 20:56:27
LaMelo is a good fit in San Antonio. It's a slight overpay, but well worth it.

21 Jun 2024 10:03:20
Why is this really bad for San Antonio?

They say it's a weak draft, so the #4 and #8 Aren't that valuable. The charlotte pick is top 12 protected and the Hawks picks are a gamble.

I think Lamelo is a good fit for them, he would improve their offence and i think he would be a good defender in their system too.

Trade 1

Atlanta trades: Murray and Capela

Trade 2:

Orlando trades: Issac, Okeke, 1st round pick

Charlotte trades: Rozier

Orlando Roster

Pg: Murray/Anthony/Black
Sg: Suggs/Rozier
Sf: Wagner, ingles/ harris
Pf: Banchero/ Wagner
C: Capela, Bitadze

Harris and ingels could also be package for a better starting SG but I love Suggs and need to save money to resign Paulo and franz.

Thoughts? How off am I?

20 Jan 2024 16:15:41
No on the Atlanta side. You are about 2 1st round picks shy. By you own calculation you are getting two starters and upgrades. Fultz can’t shoot. Carter is an OK Backup, and Howard is an unproven projection from the back of the bench.

15 Jan 2024 08:52:39
GS: G Hayward+M Bridges
Charlotte: J Allen+ Wiggins
Cleveland: D Green

15 Jan 2024 09:24:48
Warriors will take Allen themselves.

15 Jan 2024 15:32:08
No

This gives them capspace to sign a free agent next summer
Both Hayward and Bridges are expiring.
Goldenstate would have 54 million in capspace next year so they can sign P Siakam without losing Kuminga/ moody or picks.
=> And thay can keep the 2024 pick with a little luck
=> And they can use their mid level exception

C:Looney
PF:Siakam/ Kuminga
SF:Podziemski/ Hayward
SG:K Thompson/ Moody
PG:Curry/ CP3/ Payton.

15 Jan 2024 21:28:55
Why does Cleveland do this?

15 Jan 2024 23:12:39
Green is a good fit next to Mobley
The tandem Green-Mobley would be better in offense and defense over the tandem J Allen-Mobley

C:Mobley
PF:Green
SF:Strus
SG/ Mitchell
PG:Garland.

22 Jan 2024 06:18:22
Lol Allen is better offensively than green is today. Low value. Low character cavs say no.
