CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Since taking charge of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006, Michael Jordan has made 13 trades involving 35 players.
Yet while half the roster is seemingly mentioned in various trade reports, coach Paul Silas doesn’t anticipate another major move before Thursday’s trade deadline.
That’s welcome news to top scorers Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace.
After both players said after practice Monday that they want to stay in Charlotte, Silas was asked if there was a decent chance at a trade. Silas replied, “it doesn’t seem like it” while acknowledging they have been involved in trade talks.
Silas says “we’ll keep what we have and go with it.” Charlotte sits a game behind Indiana for the last postseason spot in the Eastern Conference.
