Pistons Joe D deals Nazr to Bobcats
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Nazr Mohammed now a Bobcat
Piston GM Joe Dumars has done it again. Positioning his team for the future. Right now, Joe had Coach Saunders playing lots of young guys and some of them, like Jason Maxiell have really responded. This will make them a better team in the playoffs.
The veterans are getting old and will need to be replaced at some time. When Joe D makes a move his eyes are always to improving the present only if he can improve the long run. Joe D believes in setting his team up to win NBA Championships.
His current trade of Nazr will free up tons of bucks at the end of the year. The Pistons will be seeking to add a low post presence on O and D in the free agent market next year. Joe D has done it again.
The Charlotte Bobcats’ search for a big man ended Friday when they acquired center Nazr Mohammed from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for center Primoz Brezec and forward Walter Herrmann.
Mohammed, averaging 3.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21 games for the Pistons, will provide the Bobcats depth they’ve been missing since Sean May underwent season-ending knee surgery during training camp.
The Bobcats have gotten very little from Brezec, who has been starting but averaging only 1.9 points and 2.2 rebounds a game.
Herrmann had failed to crack the Charlotte rotation under new coach Sam Vincent. But both Brezec and Herrmann will provide the Pistons with outside shooting. source
The Bobcats needed some muscle and scoring underneath and Nazr can give them some of that. Joe D has no problem dealing talent away to improve his team.
But don’t kid yourself about what he picked up. He picked up two expendable contracts and nothing else.
