I didn't anticipate the Charlotte Bobcats trading second-round pick Kyle Weaver on Monday to Oklahoma City for a second-round pick in next year's NBA draft, but I'm also not surprised.
Coach Larry Brown didn't use Weaver a whole lot more than a bunch of guys who were rounded up off the street to assemble a summer-league team. So I guess it's not a revelation that, given the opportunity to replace a second-round pick, they moved him on to Oklahoma City.
Weaver, who played at Washington State, made sense on draft night: He potentially played three positions and was a defender first on a team lacking for defenders. However, he looked lost in summer-league games (although no more lost than first-round pick Alexis Ajinca).
There isn't a whole lot that Weaver can do that Jared Dudley doesn't already do. And finding playing time for a wing player is the last of many problems the Bobcats have.
Still, I'm mildly surprised the Bobcats would not bring Weaver to training camp to see more of what he might do. They obviously decided to cut their losses and get back a second-round pick.
