I think the Bobcats should go with a small move like Matt Carroll to the Hornets for Hakim Warrick. Its not like I expect Hakim to be amazing, but both players aren't in their current teams rotation. Hornets might look at it like a salary dump, maybe give up some 2nd. Hakim could eat up some playing time.

It would be nice to add a D-Leaguer and have him pan out, but I think it wouldn't be that bad to to that.

Utah could get involved, send Raja Bell to the Hornets and take back Matt. Jazz were trying to remove Bell and Hornets could use the depth.

The 'Cats aren't trading Captain Carroll. Pardon me, I had to laugh at that, but they aren't in the mold to really try to get better by adding veterans like Hakim Warrick. They like the flexibility of sparing extra minutes between Mullens & Biyombo to allow them to develop. If Cho & Co. are going to make a trade to better the frontcourt, it will be for youth a la Derrick Williams, Dejuan Blair, Ekpe Udoh, or maybe even Derrick Favors.

Its not exactly like they are in cap hell next year with or without Matt. Its a small move.
Who are they going to trade to get any of those guys. I was trying to think realistic.

How the hell are we going to get Favors? If Utah's FO is anything like their RealGM fans, we'd probably have to give up Kemba, MKG, and Biyombo and a pair of unprotected lottery picks and they'd still decline.

I wouldn't trade MKG for Favors straight up. After Kemba's night where he looked more like a legit All-Star than Favors ever has, I'd have serious doubts about that as well.

Favors not worth neither Kemba or MKG straight up, nevertheless a pick included

You know fans are always over bias when it come to their own players. Even some of us on our own board think that Hendo is better than Derozan.

:o :o :-? :-? Trade checker 6156966 After 12-15-2015 Cats trade Hendo,Biz for Meeks ,Jordan, Jamison from LAL
Why
LAL selected D'Antoni who likes to run. Jamison isn't producing numbers they want and Biz is a
athletic freak who can run and play defense and get to the rim faster/ better than Hill. Hill is a more post up player 4 which we need. Hendo will not stay here after next year. Meeks is buried on Bench but
but is young can be developed as a solid backup 2 behind JT starting and Gordan off the bench.
Then after losing Matt/Rwill/Hendo we still have rotation next year at 2. Jamison who plays 3 or 4
can mentor MKG and Hill and Mullins,then leave or join coaching staff after season is over.
Also Hills contract is the same as Hendo and if he works out easier to sign than Hendo who will want max dollars

That's that trade I don't like. Besides, the Lakers aren't parting with Jordan Hill. He's their big man insurance.

For Hendo AND Biz?????????

That's worse than any Laker rip-off trade I've seen on the Trades board.

Dom McGuire waived by TOR. Decent complementary player as backup PF, good mobility, length, defense (& cheap). See him fitting with Dunlap's defensive tenor in rotations with Kemba or Sessions, Taylor, MKG. Warrick's been unplayable.

Wasn't he starting for TOR in the game against us?

Warrick has been terrible, but I can't see McGuire really helping us. Troy Murphy could be interesting though.
