You forgot about Lopez. Pekovic and Horford could arguably be on the list as well.

There are been rumors around the bucks end that the Bucks will still attempt a S&T for Jennings. Our "basketball insider" was on the radio today that they are looking @ a East coast team that sends us a "nice" PG back. After looking @ all the East Coast teams. My guess was you guys. This is the trade that im thinking about

Bucks get: Sessions and Henderson
Bobcats get: Jennings and Udoh

Thoughts?

That wouldn't be bad at all, but I'd feel a little uncomfortable about bringing in a ego like Jennings to play backup PG. Maybe a 3rd team should be involved that need a starting PG where Jennings could be swayed to

Jennings is already a bit of a headcase as it is... can't imagine how he'd react to coming to Charlotte (even worse... as a backup). He's better than Sessions but Sessions better fits the backup role.

And tell the guys on the Bucks board that adding a second rounder to that deal doesnt get you Kemba... the only way I see us moving him is if it's to upgrade the PG position, and Jennings is no upgrade.

As a Sixers fan, I would love it if we could trade for Brandon Jennings. I don't know how much of MCW starting at PG I could take. He's better suited as a backup, at least until he turns the corner in about another 3-5 years.

CHA get: Thaddeus Young

MIL get: Gerald Henderson

PHI get: Brandon Jennings

No to Thaddeus Young. We have so many big men right now that need minutes it's bordering on a logjam.

Young would become the reserve SF/PF hybrid to complete the Bobcats depth, as Jeff Taylor moves into the starting SG slot. If Charlotte is going for the playoffs, they shouldn't trust Biyombo as a regular rotation guy in their frontcourt. Young would be capable of filling the PF position as a reserve while Josh McRoberts play some C. I understand why Charlotte may shun the idea though, because Young is under contract for the next 3 seasons at $9 million

He'd get less than 20 minutes a night. Our PF/C spots are all set this year in terms of rotation players.

Yeah don't wanna touch Young's contract. Plus we're not going to make the playoffs, and I highly doubt Young changes that.

Jamison showed with CLE he's a bad fit with a young, bottom dwelling team. Please no Jamison.

Mike Miller is expected to be amnestied. He could be a nice addition to our squad as a veteran with championship experience. Also, he is a knock down shooter and actually an underrated basketball player as a whole. I think he could fill that role everybody wanted Mike Dunleavy for.....

We could get him super cheap off waivers most likely....

Bingo! Excellent 3rd string PG, that's pass-first & bring a ton of experience. I would like it if Charlotte could land Jamaal Tinsley. I was a big fan when he was at Iowa State several years ago

Tinsley wouldnt be horrible, but he is a pretty bad shooter. I would want our third string guard to be able to spread the floor a bit better.

That said... a few guys I would look at

Obviously Goudelock should garner some consideration, because he is just lighting up the summer league for the Bulls team. Also, he was the DLeague MVP last season and can play either guard spot with good size at 6-3 and is a great shooter..

Next I would look at Brandon Paul, who is another big guard who can put the ball in the hole. He is playing for Twolves summer league team. He can play both spots and can shoot and athletic.
