Maybe, just maybe, Blatche takes all the boos to heart and actually works hard in the offseason. If he could regain the form of 2 years ago, he'd at least be movable.

Hoops hype explains a possible issue with dealing Mcgee:
JaVale McGee has been shopped, with the team failing to reach a contract extension with him in late January and McGee set to become a restricted free agent this summer. Marc J. Spears of Yahoo!
