The Bobcats are interested in a trade that swaps a shooting guard for a big man. Coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff told the Observer on Sunday he's had contact with the SuperSonics about unhappy forward Reggie Evans, but for now that's not going anywhere.

"We've had some conversations with them," Bickerstaff said.
"Their demands are too high. Come (the Feb. 23 trade deadline), who knows?"

Evans has played in two of Seattle's past six games, and has reportedly asked for a trade. He signed a one-year tender offer (worth about $1 million), which allows him to veto any trade this season.

Evans reportedly turned down a two-year, $4 million offer from the Sonics, so he obviously expects to get paid this summer. Any team trading for him could easily lose him without compensation in a few months.
