Wallace to Cavs?

[tarheelblue89]

According to Chad Ford

The Charlotte Bobcats seem intent on moving Gerald Wallace to a new team by the Thursday deadline and have aggressively courted the Mavericks, Rockets, Clippers, Pacers and Cavs. The asking price has been an expiring contract and a protected first-round pick.

So far they've been unable to get a team to bite, though there have been rumblings Wednesday morning that the Cavs may use their $14.5 million trade exception generated in the LeBron James sign-and-trade this summer to land Wallace by the deadline.

Wish they could keep him and move Jackson.

and we get....????

Salary cap relief, a first round pick, and moving Jax to the 3 while Hendo becomes the starting 2 guard.

Hate to lose the face of the franchise but I am betting that there may be current health concerns about him other than what we already know about. Very possible the team doctors have hinted to MJ that future problems are probable so the FO is trying to get something before he breaks down for good. He has given his body for this franchise and I cringe of moving him out but it could be a blessing in disguise.

1st round pick this year? Protected how? What are we talking about here. I know at this point it is all speculation but what is everyone thinking?

I have no idea what to make of all these rumors other then that, over the next 24 hours, poo is gonna go down.

Did Miami end up sending Cleveland a 1st round pick in the LeBitch fiasco? If so, that's going to be your pick.

Cleveland is looking at the lottery for the next several years.

And this right on the heels of Silas saying he didn't see anything being done this year (prior to the deadline of course).

thats a good pick, but when is that last time we traded a player for a pick straight up?

WojYahooNBA:

Nevetheless, source says the Blazers still believe that Wallace could end up in the Eastern Conference. Portland's pushing, though.

WojYahooNBA:

Cleveland's been talking to Bobcats for several weeks on a Wallace deal, too. As one GM has said, "Blazers have been anxious...determined."

Yahoo! has got a nice little twitter feed going on, as you can tell.
