The Queen City’s own Boris Diaw is pretty much guaranteed to never play another game in a Bobcats jersey, but the collective knowledge of the internet is he’s more likely to get bought out than traded. And what, exactly, is the point of that? [...] Everyone remembers last season, right? LeBron James joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miama? Carmelo Anthony being traded to the New York Knicks?

He’s 6’9″ but has the wingspan of a true center.

Mullens ability to hit the mid-range jumper is well documented at this point, and that was cute while [...] Boris Diaw, however, has been nothing short of atrocious this season, Byron Mullens has regressed lately and with injuries to Corey Magette and D.J.
