ESPN NBA Insider Stephen A. Smith is reporting that the Charlotte Bobcats are NOT done trading what so ever. Stephen said today on ESPN's Cold Pizza today "The Charlotte Bobcats are NO WHERE NEAR finished trading until the deadline, you'd think after you bring a star such as Dwight Howard that you would be done but no." The Bobcats lost about 9 M in cap space in the Dwight Howard deal, from 25 M to 16 M. We know GM Boen wants to be able to offer max (and now with Dwight I don't know if any FA could resist) so the logic choice for a trade is Cuttnio Mobley, but if not then Al Harrington or Tayshaun Prince. "I haven't heard Prince's name in any of the trade rumors" said Stephen A. "They think he is a nice compliment player to D12 and their slower tempo movement, right now I would say there is a very good chance Al Harrington and/or Cuttnio Mobley will be traded. When they had their 20 M they were content to keep Mobley, now they may try to move him and maybe one of there none lottery draft picks to get back some of there cap space." "As far as Al Harrington, they don't think he will fit in with D12. He complained about losing Rose and I'm hearing maybe he goes to a team such as Golden State for Ford or CV (GM favorite), Atlanta for Mo Williams, Washington for Stephen Jackson, heck I heard a Harrington to Denver for Ben Gordon, or there maybe something else out there. Boen never shows his cards and you never know what he is doing, but they are trying to A. get under 20 M again and B. trying to get a guard or an outside shooting PF (or maybe both?) for Harrington.
