Rumor out of Indiana
WNDE Sports Radio 1260 out of Indiana is reporting that a deal is in the works for Cleveland, sending D. Wags and Newble for Scot Pollard and a second round pick.
If it is the same Pollard that was seen in Sac in 2002, instead of last years Indiana flop, he would be a great addition to the Cavs

Thats a horrible trade for the Cavs. Why does Indy want Wags. They have Miller,Jones,Jackson,Artest,Bender on the wings.

Pollard is a decent enough third string center, but has Wagner's stock really fallen <i>that</i> far? I would've thought you could at least get a first rounder from Indiana, considering it'd likely be a late pick anyways.

Maybe everyone really does know that Wagner is crap.
Getting rid of Newble would be nice though.
I never saw Pollard play in Indiana. Was he hurt, or what?

DaJuan Wagner is a bust who probably won't ever do a thing in the NBA, but if we can get him for just Scot Pollard, I'd be all for it. Pollard was never more than a hustle player, and for some reason in Indiana he stopped hustling, and became useless.
I wouldn't mind getting a hold of Ira Newble for his defense, either, especially if we make this retarded Artest-for-Peja trade that will leave us awfully short on perimeter defense.
This rumor seems too good to be true coming from a hometown radio station though.

That doesn't mean anything, because out of all the players who did nothing their first two years in the league, only a very small percentage broke out later in their careers. Most of these players did nothing for the rest of their careers.
Wagner is probably going to be a bust. I'd love to have him if we have to give up crap for him, but he has no trade value.

I think this is a horrible trade for cleveland and i hope they don't do it. Yes wagner may become a bust, but he hasnt had a full season yet and he has does have enormous potential. If wagner's stock has indeed dropped this much, then dont trade him, i think the risk to see what can he do and keep him is alot better than getting some1 like pollard.

The deal may happen or it might not. Paxson apparently has his eye on other players too but these deals are just speculative at this point.

I agree with Spudd, this deal does nothing for Cleveland long term. Wagner has shown flashes in games, it's not worth dumping him yet if his trade value is this low.
I would hold on to him or hold out for a better deal

why?????
Wagner could still be a quality player, just needs a position where he could start, at the 2. He aint gettin that oppurtunity in Clev, and you should trade him, but why would u trade him for a third stringer and one of the last picks in the draft.

3. Holds the record for being the only player in NBA history to ever average at least 30 points on 69.5 field goal percentage for four consecutive NBA playoff series games (5/23/06-5/29/06). The last record was held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 63%. Wade accomplished it with less than 20 field goal attempts per game
4. Fifth player in NBA history with at least 30 points, 15 assists and 5 rebounds in a playoff game (5/10/05 vs. WAS). The others are Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Walt Frazier and Oscar Robertson.
5. One of four players in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 12 assists in three consecutive games (November 24-27, 2006). The others are Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, and Kevin Johnson. [5]

Again..Why trade if his value is so low. I'd rather keep him, hope he turns into something, then risk having him turn into something after he is traded for SCOTT POLLARD.

It looks like Jim Paxson doesn't share your optimism for DaJuan Wagner, because they're going to decline the fourth-year option on his contract.

The Cavaliers are expected to pick up the 2005-06 option for Gooden and decline it on Wagner.
