ESPN -- Exec: Hornets saying 'No deals for Paul'
Rufus on Fire — ESPN -- Exec: Hornets saying 'No deals for Paul' We could do a lot worse than Livingston/Augustin. We could do better than Boris Diaw: Starting Center.
Charlotte Bobcats July 26, 2010A Blast From the Past: Which Former Bobcat Would You Want To Bring Back?
Rufus on Fire — (DA -- From the FanPosts) With Matt Carroll re-joining the Bobcats (actually kinda happy about it), the question has to be asked, which one of these available former Bobcats with the Rufus on Fire community approve of the Bobcats picking up on a veteran's minimum to fill in with our current roster? Earl Boykins (PG)- Earl never really had the success in Charlotte that he enjoyed with other teams like the Denver Nuggets, but he could probably push the small guards we have on our team now for some playing time and fill in the sixth man role of Boris Diaw isn't here once the season starts. Primo...
Charlotte Bobcats July 22, 2010Why Channing Frye Is Better at Center Than Power Forward
Bright Side Of The Sun — More photos » Matt York - AP Phoenix Suns' Channing Frye (8) (AP Photo/Matt York) Browse more photos » Enough talking about GMs for a few hours. Later this morning, Hedo Turkoglu will be introduced as the Suns' newest player. Paul Coro mentioned in the AZ Republic that Turk might play the Power Forward position for the Suns, much like Boris Diaw did in 2005-06 season as a point-forward and secondary ball handler. This would be a good, as well as bad, thing. Turkoglu is a terrible reboun...
Phoenix Suns July 21, 2010Diaw is an asset; figure it out
Inside the NBA | Charlotte Observer — So what to do with Boris Diaw? I know what follows in the comments: "Trade him for anything!'' "Boot him outta town!' "Sit him now!'' Trouble is, that's not living in the real world and it's sure not making the...
Charlotte Bobcats July 20, 2010Chandler-Ajinca to Dallas for Dampier-Najera-MATT CARROLL!!!
Rufus on Fire — More photos » Matt York - AP Browse more photos » Woj drops the bombshell on Twitter. I don't get it. This would leave the Bobcats with a shaky point guard situation and Boris Diaw as the number one center option. Really? The only way this works for us is if we have a deal in place to flip Erick Dampier for other assets, because Dampier's deal can be bought out. And if we're stuck with Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera for the next three and two years, respectively... Again, I just don't get it. If they're just trying to save several ...
Charlotte Bobcats July 13, 2010IC Cold Links: Keeping An Eye On Bobcats And Raptors Deal; Pacers' CIB Deal Roundup
Indy Cornrows — Keep an eye on Charlotte today. The Bobcats have been a team to monitor this summer since they expressed an interest in T.J. Ford at the trade deadline last year. With Raymond Felton joining the New York Knicks, the Bobcats remain a plausible destination for the Pacers' point guard. As fate would have it, his Ford's old running mate in Toronto may beat him out for the spot with the Bobcats. Yesterday, reports surfaced that Toronto and Charlotte were closing in on a deal to send Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler to the Raptors in exchange for point guard Jose Calderon, Reggie Evans and some pa...
Indiana Pacers July 13, 2010Calderon-Diaw-Chandler trade still on hold
Rufus on Fire — More photos » Darron Cummings - AP Browse more photos » I will be very disappointed if the Raptors-Bobcats trade ends up being just a big tease, especially if we have to take back Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler after they were convinced they were leaving. Also, because I'd lose my excuse to get a Bobcats jersey with my favorite number, Jose Calderon's number 8. But in the end, it's not a bad development at all that the trade is on hold. Amazingly given MJ's reputation as a personnel man, if Woj's report (linked above) is true, Michae...
Charlotte Bobcats July 13, 2010Jose Calderon trade would address Charlotte Bobcats' gap at point guard

Toronto Raptors July 12, 2010All aboard the Colangelo bus once more?
Raptors HQ — All aboard the Colangelo bus once more? Bryan Colangelo, the Tasmanian Devil in GM form, is at it again. According to Doug Smith of the Toronto Star, "the Raptors are shipping out Hedo Turkoglu, Jose Calderon and one other piece not yet confirmed and getting back Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns, Boris Diaw and possibly Tyson Chandler from the Charlotte Bobcats." The Score's Holly MacKenzie is also reporting that the expiring contract of Reggie Evans could be included in said deal as well. While things have yet to be confirmed, hard not to be excited about this proposed idea at the lea...
