Samuel

Quick thinks he'll be moved as soon as a month from now but definitely by the trading deadline. Which begs the question: Which Eastern Conference teams did Portland GM Steve Patterson contact about Magloire, and who would Portland get in return?

http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/ja...ck_111606.html

Probable Signs of a Hit:
- Players displaced in the rotation, either by a rookie or performance in general.
- A team with size deficiency in the front court yet has playoff hopes (hard to say given the status of the East)
- 1-2 players at 3-5m whose moved contracts would help a team get under the cap (most likely)
- A team with an extra pick.
- A vet PG?

Rule out: Players with character issues.

Boston Celtics
New Jersey Nets
New York Knicks
Philadelphia 76ers
Toronto Raptors
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Milwaukee Bucks
Atlanta Hawks
Charlotte Bobcats
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Washington Wizards

Any ideas?

Trader Ed

I am going to stand by what I wished earlier

Magloire back to Narlins for Mason..... Jamaal may resign with them.... Mason will not... Hornets get something in return. simple as pie

NO/OKC is a Western Conference team.

I'm thinking it'll be a team that's looking for some salary cap relief at the end of this season.

Any SF or swing players making a lot of money in the Eastern Conference that are disgruntled? That's who I think would be a logical choice. That or a team trying to save luxury tax money or get under the cap for next years free agent crop.

Actually I think it was TB who kept saying Desmond Mason, and that's not a bad idea. Although I think it will be for someone with a longer contract. I'd like to see a three way trade worked out that netted us Maggette.

Boston is not going anywhere fast...

Maloire and Dixon to Boston for Wally

Gives Boston cap relief, and puts them under the cap

Wally would be good here. He'd hold the SF spot until Webster learns the game. He would also open up the middle for Nate's elaborate force the ball into Zach offense.

Another ABM Wacky Trade Idea!

Magloire, Outlaw, Dixon, and Dickau

to the Wizards for:

Antawn Jamison

Schilly

Here are the teams I think may be interested in Mags...
Boston (Wally and Coach are ar odds)
Miami (Shaq is down they need inside help...Posey and filler)
New Jersey (Desperate for inside help, Antoine Wright and filler?)
Toronto (Bosh needs help inside, Mo Pete and filler)
Washington (Yet another team sorely in need of insde help...Caron Butler?)

I think the thing that is interesting is Portland is probably only goiong to want a young player(s) or short contracts, no more than 1 year after this.

I would have listed Chicago as tehy need inside help but I don't think anyone really melieves that Magloire would fit what they need there.

Trader Ed

I like the idea of having a SF scorer, and Wally would be good at spacing the offense out. But his contract is $12 mil this year, $13 next year and $14 mil the next

I would rather just let Jamaal expire off the books, and go with the youth movement. But getting Wallyworld would sure be fun to watch offensively, very painful on D, as we already have a matador defense. Not sorry to Juan on Juan go.

PG Jack, Rodriquez, Dickau
SG Roy, Webster, Graham
SF Sczerbiak, Outlaw, Udoka, Miles
PF Randolph, LeFrentz
C Przybilla, Aldridge



Packaging Magloire with Miles is the best way to get rid of both... $15.9 mil in salary out the door
$12.6 to $20 mil in salary range in return

Who can we get for that price??????

Magloire and Dixon to Boston for Wally
Magloire to Miami for Posey and Doleac
Magloire to New Jersey for Collins and Nachbar
Magloire to Toronto for Peterson and Calderon
Magloire to Washington for Daniels and Jarvis Hayes

cpawfan

As fans, would you be comfortable with Magloire and Webster for RJ?
