Charlotte Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins said today not to dismiss the
possibility the team could trade into the first round of Thursday's draft.
A couple of weeks ago, Higgins indicated a second-round pick seemed a more
likely option. But they've been very active in all kinds of discussions of
late.
It's common knowledge that several teams -- Miami and Chicago, for instance
-- are open to trading out of the first round to avoid the guaranteed salary
under the rookie pay scale. Those teams could be major players in the
free-agent market, so conserving space under the salary cap is a priority.
Higgins said they're committed to making Tyrus Thomas a qualifying offer to
restrict his free-agency. That's not a surprise -- Higgins had said before
they were leaning in that direction.
Higgins declined to address speculation that Tyson Chandler might opt-out of
the final season of his contract.I think the only way that makes sense is if
the Bobcats were to offer him a new deal that trims his salary for next
season but gives him long-term security.
