Probably. If the Magic win a 'ship this season or next, it increases the odds he stays.

Sources close to the situation in Portland are telling HOOPSWORLD that a deal to acquire Gerald Wallace from the Charlotte Bobcats is expected to clear before the trade deadline.

Both teams are said to be looking at other partners in the deal, but if a straight up deal is required it would be triggered.

THey're looking for partners .. Maybe another chance for Otis to swing in and make a minor move? Plenty of players on either roster we could use ..

Otis will see how we compete against the Kings to make a decision on whether we need a trade or not.

This thread will explode

I'm not saying we should make a move just for the sake of making a move, but damnit everyone around us is making trades and we're the contender that's having the most problems and we're not even rumored to be active ..

ATL just traded for Hinrich
CHI will get C-Lee or Parker
BOS has been one of the most active teams this deadline according to Yahoo
NY got Melo

I think there were plenty of deals available that would solve some of our problems.

And yes, I'm aware we already made huge moves earlier this season. But haven't we all seen how vulnerable this team's front-court & perimeter D is?

Just my 2 cents ..

look at the bright side, we are getting older and in cap hell for the next 4 years

I think we definitely need to make a deal. Z-Bo and Mayo for J-Rich, Bass, and Q would be dream scenario for me.

Proof that Boston is very active:

@KBerg_CBS
Wizards have been in discussions with BOS and ATL re: Kirk Hinrich. No deal yet, but Hawks appear to have inside track, sources say.

cb1115 · Post #494 » by **cb1115** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 11:40 pm

Iggy would also be good.

@WojYahooNBA
Miami has been trying to pry Brendan Haywood, offering Mike Miller as part of package, but Mavs have consistently resisted, source says.

Why doesnt orlando look to do something like,

Jrich a second rounder and cash for Hinrich + Blatche or Thornton?

So Boston, Atlanta, Miami and NY are trying to get better or have already gotten better while we just sit here doing nothing. Awesome.
