Damn it. Last thing we need is Miami riding Greg Oden, Michael Beasley, AND Gana Diop to a championship.

if Diop goes to Miami they should release LeBron,those 2 are WAY to good to be on the same team they will go undefeated and average like 150ppg and Diops elite defense will lock down the other team they will only give up 50ppg

Can't wait to tell the people on the trade board "I told you so" when Hayward receives 6-7M a year rather than the absurd 10-13M they've been throwing around in recent days.

It's literally Gerald Henderson all over again.

Gobert is definitely looking legit. I liked his prospects during the draft but once we didn't get the Portland pick he kinda fell out of slipped out of my mind. I didn't expect him to finish with such authority around the rim this early in his career though.

Someone PLEASE start a thread on the GB saying that Gorbet today is already better than Valanciunas will ever be IF Valanciunas even reaches his max ceiling.

Lol, then we'll have Raps trolling our board. How did the turf war start between us and the Raps? Similar positions of the franchise I'm guessing??

some raptors fan probably offered Rudy Gay for Kemba Walker, Biyombo, some large expiring and two firsts. Some bobcats fan response was probably "umm..hell, no". And then the hate started. That or we didn't take some crap contract off their hands during the expansion draft, and they haven't forgiven us since.

Who knows, they are canadians.

maybe they are still mad about that calderon trade that we supposed nixed at the last minute.

chrbal · Post #115 » by **chrbal** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 5:22 pm

What Calderon trade?

Post #116 » by **fatlever** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 6:27 pm

i think it was chandler for calderon (or something like that). they were looking to dump calderon's salary.

i'd trade Toronto Ben Gordon for some maple syrup and canadian bacon

I thought that was the deal that would've sent him to OKC for garbage right? Scary.

Michael Jordan Cancels Jose Calderon For Boris Diaw And Tyson Chandler Trade Between Bobcats And Raptors

Well, Bryan Colangelo's impressive fast-tracking of the rebuilding job in Toronto just took a hit. A day after apparently finding a taker for José Calderon's slightly onerous contract in the Bobcats -- as well as getting two useful players in Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler in return -- the deal is reportedly off. According to Doug Smith of the Toronto Star, Bobcats owner Michael Jordan has nixed the deal between Charlotte and Toronto, meaning Calderon (and Reggie Evans) will have to awkwardly return to the Raptors after bidding their farewells, with Diaw and Chandler doing the same in Charlotte. The trade between the Raptors and Suns of Hedo Turkoglu for Leandro Barbosa, which was part of a three-team deal with the Raptors-Bobcats trade, is unaffected, however.

Jordan was reportedly hesitant to trade Chandler, who when healthy is a defensive fixture for Charlotte, per Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski. Chandler's contract also expires after this coming season, making him quite a valuable commodity to cost-cutting GMs around the league, which was half of his appeal to Colangelo and the Raptors, who are looking for the financial flexibility to remake their team after making a series of ill-advised signings the past few years.
