Chad Ford on Stoney and Wojo.

Says deal unlikely at this point. Atlanta wants Sura, Rebraca, etc.... but is balking at taking a non expiring deal.

Ford says if Atlanta does to decided to take Corliss or Chucky, then the deal will likely get done.

Looks like Corliss is the stopping point.

Right now our best option might be to call up Boston and see if they will send Mills to Atlanta in exchange for Corliss, that would give the Hawks all expiring deals, and Boston is supposedly willing to take on contracts.

I think you misinterpreted me. I was speaking of the original AI deal where he was ours if not for that bald, out of shape white guy. Where is Matt Geiger nowadays?

Beat me to it... And yea Dumars was behind that one too.

Yeah, I thought you were talking about the DSR's recent AI rumours.

I keep hearing that Corliss is the stopping point too. Would we not be able to re-sign Memo or something, if we don't Corliss' or Chuck's contract off the books (assuming we acquire 'Sheed without those two)? I certainly hope that's the case, because I can't see our reluctancy to give up Corliss as the reason we won't be able to acquire Rasheed Wallace.

Come on Joe -- Just get it done. There are enough deals out there right now for our non-expiring that you can make two or three deals successfully.

All of our expirings + Milwaukee pick for Rasheed

Corliss for Fizer

Chucky for Giricek + Lue

Just to echo the rest of the sentiments on this board make it happen joe. Rasheed Wallace = finals for the pistons.

If Joe D. has taught me one thing since he's become GM, it is that he knows what he's doing. I trust in him 100%, that he'll get something done, even if that means not acquiring Rasheed Wallace.

I'm hearing that Terry Foster is on 1270 AM saying the deal is dead... Because they don't want to take Corliss or Chucky... I would hate to be this close and fail. Give 'em whatever we're already going to give them, Elden, or both of the draft picks, I just want 'Sheed in a Pistons jersey.

I don't think the deal is "dead" -- the talks may have stopped, but it's not dead. Probably a) Joe Dumars says if you decide you want Corliss, call back b) Joe is trying to find a taker for Corliss or Chucky right now c) Joe is trying to get a third team in on the deal. If one of the three things happen, I'd expect talks to heat up again and eventually see a deal go down.

I agree, what I meant was dead for right now.

Oh and ESPN insider can't be quoted on here anymore. You have to summarize what they're saying in your own words.
