    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DraftExpress.com - According to DraftExpress.com, the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Bobcats are talking about a trade where the top pick in the draft goes to Charlotte along with Alvin Williams for the third pick and Brevin Knight.

    It is being suggested that teams are looking to move up to the top spot to select Adam Morrison.</div>

    Williams for Knight? I hope they don't do that. Morrison is going to fall to them either way.

    I wouldn't be sure of that. A lot of mocks have Morrison going #1 now. The Bobcats want this kid, bad. Brevin Knight isn't going anywhere with the Bobcats. He's going to be traded either way. He's old, so you're not going to get equal value for him. If you're the Bobcats...you're a young team who needs a true scorer...is it really that much to lose Brevin Knight for Adam Morrison? I think not. Imagine your starting lineup next year: Raymond Felton, Gerald Wallace, Adam Morrison, Emeka Okafor, and Primoz Brezec. Each player in that list is capable of averaging double digit in points. Felton's one hell of a passer. Wallace is one hell of a defender. Morrison is one hell of a scorer. Emeka is one hell of a defender. And well, Primoz...he's a white boy who can shoot.

    I doubt it. The Bobcats have been in love with Morrison for awhile now. It's no surprise either, the kid can flat out play. The Bobcats need a scorer, and that's what Morrison is. They have a nice young core of Wallace, Felton, and Okafor. Morrison gives them that solid scorer to the core that they need.

    The only reason I could see them taking Gay over Morrison is because of the Uconn connection with Okafor.

    Gay never played with Okafor. Anyways, I don't like that trade anyway. We trade Knight, and get Williams in return. That kills it IMO.

    I know Okafor and Gay were never teammates, but they both attended Uconn and missed each other by what, one year? You don't think they talked? I bet Gay called up Okafor and Ben Gordon and asked him about UCONN. There's still a conncetion there, even though they didn't play together.
