Via Chad Ford - @RealGM 5m ICYMI: Bobcats Could Make Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Available In Trade Talks -- http://bit.ly/1bMSwmb I'm guessing we probably don't have the pieces to make something work w/ them, but Leonard/Claver for MKG works. Just spitballin' here, but to sweeten the deal for them, we could amend the protection on the draft pick we owe them to be similar to what Toronto and Houston did, guaranteeing them a future lotto pick, since it's looking more and more like our pick this year isn't going to be a high one... Gives them another athletic young big man, a young do-it-all forward to replace the one they're trading and a future lotto pick. Gives us a young hustle guy who can defend, doesn't need shots and likely our draft pick back this year? Probably unrealistic, but he seems like the type of guy who could be a big addition to our bench if gotten for the right price...
they're looking to potemtially move him for a win now piece. Claver and Leonard are not that. No reason for them to do that deal.
They want to get out of the basement. Basically Jordan is a moron, and doesn't want to get in on this draft class.
I actually think he is because he has title experience. I know he is slumping so far this season, but I think he comes around. I don't worry when Batum goes to the bench when Wright comes in. I hated when Babbitt or Claver came in last season.
Actually, I would love to get Jarrett Jack. He's not deadly from three, but he can distribute, defend and run an offense.
they're a playoff team in the east. They have 10 wins, if they wanted to get a top pick this year they already lost their chance.
