Wallace to Portland, For 2 first rounders, Pryzbilla + Dante Cunningham

If we're clearing salary, I hope it's in preparation to get a guy like CP3 now that Deron Williams is a Knick.

:confused:

I honestly don't see the reasoning behind this..

it's nice in theory to think we have a chance at getting a guy like Paul, but come on guys... there is probably a 1% chance of Paul going to Charlotte, and that's being optimistic. Knicks have the cap room to get Paul, and let's see.. go to NY to play in one of the best markets in pro sports with two of the best players in the game in Amare and Melo, or play here...

yeah, another reason to not care about the NBA.

If this trade actually happens, probably gonna finally kill my interest in this team. Stupid stupid stupid move.

Agreed, stupid move... folks were just starting to buy in, just starting to nibble and then they pull this.

If this goes down, I may follow MJ's lead and cut my costs as well (on Bobcats tickets).

[CatMan72]

NBA will become just like MLB... if you don't root for LA, Boston, Miami or NY you shouldn't waste your time, everyone else is just a feeder team.

[Majestic87]

Yeah I feel this is a dumb deal...I like Gerald Wallace and with Jackson and Tyrus injured you really want to bring in some other players who aren't down with the team Chemistry....I wanna keep all our players and get CP3...I know impossible but I don't want to lose Wallace

[kman72]

reading through the twitter and rumors on hoopshype, they are saying batum in not involved... we are shying away from pryz n cas/picks... portland is pushing to trade greg oden (doesnt say to who) nothing said about andre miler or camby since months ago when silas 1st took over.

also says cavs are heavily talking to us for gerald, as from light interest clippers and hawks. rockets are now interested also...

but it does imply that gerald is def gone by trade deadline.

my opinion, im prolly most interested in oden. he has most potential of any value would could get back, in houston if it inlcuded some type of t-williams n whatever it took for kevinmartin id be interested

Sources close to the situation confirm rumored reports... Trail Blazers to land Gerald Wallace from Char, still working on player details.

Actually not true. Everyone in MLB has a chance as long as you have a good all around team. Go look at the Marlins 2 world series winss, Tampa Bay's, etc. MLB is actually the easiest of the big leagues to win big without huge stars.

The reason the NBA is so unfair is you only have 5 people on the court at once and having 3 all-stars is just ridiculous.

Anyway, we're all going to hate the trade at first. The fact is, I didn't see a way around NOT giving up GW eventually. Better to do it now while he has some value. Pyrz sucks at scoring but he's a good shot blocker and re bounder and he's a big body.

This trade will have as much to do with Henderson's recent rise as cutting cost, since no one would want Jax obviously we'd need to deal GW.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Here is what I think the trade will look like. ESPN Rumors said that Charlotte was entertaining trade offers for Wallace if a #1 pick was involved.

Charlotte Receives

C- Joel Pryzbilla

SF- Luke Babbitt

PG- Andre Miller

1st Round Pick

Portland Receives

SF- Gerald Wallace

PG- Shaun Livingston

*possibly a 2nd round pick

If it's just for Joel and some money then MJ and his team can F'N Leave. F HIm for being cheap ass clown. You don't trade a 17ppg 8rbg player for 35 year old sorry ass player.

[SOJA]

why do I see this blowing up in our face? Oh wait Tyson Chandler did that all by himself

Good point, but a lack of a salary cap has still hurt baseball badly.

You're right... in the NBA this kind of talent-hording is even worse.

If you are trading Crash then you should be getting Rudy or Eillot Williams Oden and a 1st round pick. This bullshit they are throwing out sounds like Rod is a f'n idiot or MJ is another cheap ass owner in Charlotte.
