CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — For a team without any picks, the Charlotte Bobcats sure aren’t acting like they plan to sit out Thursday’s NBA draft.
After working out dozens of draft prospects in the past few weeks, the Bobcats have been talking deals with numerous teams in the past few days. Potential scenarios include something as big as a multiplayer trade that nets a first-round pick to something as simple as purchasing a second-round choice.
General manager Rod Higgins says he’s been “very busy” with numerous trade conversations.
The Bobcats have pulled off draft-week deals in each of the last three years. And with the Bobcats close to the luxury tax, a figure owner Michael Jordan has said they won’t go over, a relatively cheap rookie contract may be an attractive option.
