Premium Member Sothron Posted July 12, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 From rotoworld: The Bobcats are close to sending Boris Diaw and "possibly" Tyson Chandler to the Raptors in a three-way deal that includes the Suns. Charlotte would acquire point guard Jose Calderon and at least one other player. As expected, we're seeing a cascade of player movement following LeBron and co.'s decision to join the Heat. Calderon would certainly fill the Bobcats' void at PG, and is a far better pure PG than ex-Bobcat Raymond Felton. Of course, if this deal goes through as stated it will leave Charlotte thin inside, relying on Tyrus Thomas and a platoon of mediocre big men. Every team in our division is getting stronger and so far the only thing we've done is retain a roster that couldn't get past the second round and just traded a former lottery pick for a can of pinto beans. I hope Sund has something about to go down because the Hawks are looking at some seriously improved competition in our division and the conference.

I was a Calderon fan but after he took over reigns in Toronto he has been a big dissappointment. Probably the worst defender in the league (worse then Bibby). Ask TO fans (I am friends with some) and they are glad to be rid of him. He is a good backup pg but shouldn't be getting extended minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it is a team getting stronger on the inside then I don't worry about it. We are fine at the back court and wing position. We've talent on top of talent. This move actually makes the Bobcats weaker against us. If we sign Shaq we fix 60% of our issues from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWKSFAN89 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Wow, Toronto is getting dismantled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WraithSentinel Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I won't be surprise to see DJ as their starting PG at some point in the season. Jose going from Toronto to NC. I am sure he is thrill about that. I wouldn't look at this as an upgrade for the Bobcats. Jose will probably dog it with them. He has his money. This 3-way trade is basically each team trading their trash for the other team trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSmith Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I don't know how this makes the Cats that much better (if at all). Unless they have some other moves in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted July 12, 2010 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Calderon is one of the best pure point guards in the league. He's also horrible on defense but Charlotte has enough defenders to make up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Anything you get from Calderon he's giving up to the other team and usually more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
