Charlotte, Milwaukee gathering traction on Gary Neal-Ramon Sessions centered deal, sources tell Yahoo. Other pieces would be involved.

Neal would be a nice pickup for CHA making a playoff push.

Again, Humphries huge contract will be difficult to match without compromising next year's payroll situation.

I'd be shocked if Hump is traded, just because his expiring contract is more important than whatever schlub would be sent our way with a matching salary.

I could see a deal in the framework of Hump/for Okafor and one of the later first round picks for Phoenix.  We don't need Hump and he could help them.  They can't realistically draft 4 players in the first round.  I doubt they have that many open roster spots and you probably wouldn't want to guarantee that much money to four different guys for four years each unless you were rebuilding.

exactly, better to let his contract expire , unless we can pick up someone who's contract runs out after next year and gain a 1st rd pick.

Phoenix only has eight guaranteed contracts for next year. Bledsoe would be a ninth if they resign him.

Drafting four rookies would be a great way for Phoenix to save their remaining cap space for big name free agents.

true but Hump is a pretty decent player and could be resigned for much less money next year.  Better option than the Morris brothers IMHO.

I had a feeling Sessions and Adrien were going to be be packaged together, but it looks like Charlotte's holding tight to all their lottery picks.

Don't they only get 4 if Minnesota makes the playoffs?

Agreed. I don't see Hump going anywhere. we can always just bench him if he helps us win too much!
