From the "for what it's worth department and The Sporting News"
A rumored multi-player deal that would send, as its principals, point guard Jamaal Tinsley from Indiana to Charlotte for point guard Raymond Felton has, "no truth to it whatsoever," according to one source close to the situation. The Bobcats are willing to trade Felton, another source confirmed, but are not actively shopping him. The Bobcats did have Felton all but traded to Dallas as part of a three-team deal in early January, but the deal fell apart when Charlotte PG D.J. Augustin was injured.
The other players reportedly involved in a potential deal were center Nazr Mohammed and forward Sean May from the Bobcats and Jeff Foster plus a third Pacers player, either Brandon Rush, Stephen Graham or Marquis Daniels, to balance out the salaries.
Tinsley, who has two years and $14.7 million remaining on his contract after this season, was sent home before the start of training camp. The Pacers have been trying to trade him since. On Tuesday, the NBA Players Association filed a grievance on Tinsley's behalf.
