The Bobcats are exploring the trade value of several of its players, including Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace.

Two executives with other NBA teams confirmed Charlotte's attempt to assess the trade value of their co-captains.

“It would not surprise me at all’’ if the Bobcats move one of their top players, one source said. “I will say I think they’re asking for a lot.’’

The Bobcats are attempting to salvage a season that has been a big disappointment.

"I’d think they’re proposing different scenarios to different teams; maybe 15 or 20,’’ said one of the sources, adding that Chicago and Detroit might be two teams receptive to making a deal.
