The Goods Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Raymond Felton's agent Kevin Bradbury left a meeting with Charlotte general manager Rod Higgins disappointed and far apart in negotiations. "We're definitely not close as far as what we're discussing and what we think fair market (value) is for Raymond," Bradbury said Wednesday, a day after the meeting. While Bradbury declined to discuss numbers, he indicated there was a surprisingly significant difference in the deals he and Higgins proposed for the restricted free agent point guard. Bradbury said both sides remain interested in a lengthy contract. "At this point I'm not as encouraged as I was a day ago or even a week ago, but that doesn't mean that it can't get done," Bradbury said. "We just have to keep talking."

Flash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Is anyone else really interested in him? I think he's one of the most underrated PG's in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 If Portland can't get Millsap, rather than Andre Miller, maybe Felton should be the target. They put up similar numbers last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 This is the best move Portland can make at this point other than Odom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 If I were the Bobctas, I would try to explore plenty of sign and trade scenarios with Felton. Felton is a rock solid point guard and would be a starter an most teams in the NBA, but I really like Augustin's game and think that in a year or two he is going to be the better player than Felton is anyways, so I would try and see what you would be able to get from other teams in a sign and trade deal. I could see a team that is in need of a point guard like Portland giving up a solid piece in order to acquire a player like Felton (somebody like Travis Outlaw, Martell Webster etc...). Then the Cats could go out and sign a good, veteran backup point guard like Anthony Carter or Brevin Knight (would he be open to coming back to Charlotte?) for cheap and just hand the reigns over to Augustin. Don't get me wrong, Felton is a very solid point guard and is one of the better players on the Bobcats, but I think that the Cats should at the very least shop Felton around a bit and see what teams would be willing to give up for him.
