How about this 3 way deal? It would have to wait about a week, because Ariza was traded Nov. 21.

Cha trades: Othella Harrington
Cha gets: Trevor Ariza

Nice young wing for a guy who's pretty much useless.

Chi trades: Ben Wallace
Chi gets: Kwame Brown and Othella Harrington

Expiring contracts for Wallace

LA trades: Kwame Brown, Trevor Ariza
LA gets: Ben Wallace

Shore up their injured front line. Get a player who could help a contender.

Thoughts?

I doubt LA would trade expirings for Wallace...very much so.

And if they would, why on Earth is Charlotte involved? Chicago can just take Ariza themselves.

Lakers won't trade Ariza. I think he will be extended. The most Lakers will offer is Kwame & Vlad or Kwame, Sasha, Mihm. And Bulls might have to offer something like Thabo with Wallace.
