Brandon Jennings.
Trade Ed Davis for Brandon Jennings.
Jennings has expressed interest in T.O, and I'm not that high on Ed anymore, especially with our glut of PFs. I think that a Calderon/Jennings PG combo would be fantastic for next season, and then we could gauge the position after that.

I would rather have Jennings and see how he and Demar progress than be left with a benched Ed (too many PFs).

not sure jennings has leadership qualities, seems pretty immature to me. i would rather a traded amir to make room for a good defensive big who has potential to be great at a very reasonable salary.
i think that reuben meant it as a bonus to the adding jennings theory and not that they are arseholes.

They both can have their moments, but being best friends, I meant they'll have very good chemistry and know each other not just from a personal level, but on the court level.
I still think Demar can be a very good player but I think he needs to be paired with a play-making, slashing type of PG. While I love Calderon I just haven't seem them being able to mesh very well. So my logic is that getting Jennings could benefit us two-fold: 1) take a flier on an all-star caliber PG; 2) try to get players that maximize the talent that we currently have (Demar).
I can agree with the argument that Jennings is still immature, but I remember some ESPN analyst (forget which one) making the argument that on a bad team, a lot of other all-stars (Kobe, Rondo, etc.) might also appear to be immature..?

I like your points as well about Demar and Brandon Jennings. I can see highlights already: "Jennings slashes in, kicks it out to Demar Derozan, Derozan with the jumper... Good!" Or " Jennings, weaving into the paint, lobs it up to Demaaarrr..... Demar throws down the alley-oop hammer" I wish those type of things happened more, we have a slashing guard in Bayless, except he just wants to score, or pass when the situation is he can't score, and passes off to someone in an even terrible situation to try and score. Jose can penetrate inside, but there usually isn't a help defender ready to recover on Jose. I think that's what separates Jose's and Bayless' play-making involving Demar, compared to the possibility of Jennings' play-making involving Demar. Just my opinion though.Last edited by ReubenJRD; Tue Mar 13, 2012, 02:59 AM.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

DJ Augustin is available
I confirmed David Aldridge’s nba.com report that the Portland Trail Blazers have interest in D.J. Augustin and such a deal could involve Jamal Crawford as a Bobcat. Don’t know if that will happen, but it’s clear Augustin – a restricted free agent-to-be – is available for the right price.

I deffinitely see potential in DJ, and id rather give up Barbosa then have to over pay.
But if it is unlikely Barbosa resigns with bobcats, I dont see it really helping them
but...if it's LB they're shopping, maybe it wouldn't hurt to aim a bit higher. i have a man-crush on bledsoe, and with CP3 there (seemingly) long-term, he's never going to get a chance to be more than an 18 mpg back-up. so...maybe LAC is willing to give up on him, if it nets them a proven vet?
