the mavs better get steven jackson
UPDATE 3:51 pm: It is a done deal, Gerald Wallace has been traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. And no, Nicolas Batum is not part of the package headed back to Charlotte. That makes this a win for Portland at first glance.
The deal will send Joel Pryzbilla, cash and other players back to Charlotte. The Bobcats had been working hard to save money and that seems to be what they get out of this deal. Not players that make them better.

tlong is going to be unbearable.
What about Matthews? Could he be one of the "other players"?
Ugh.
ing this.
Yes! WE STAAAAAAAAAAACKED!
it really pisses me off for how they got Wallace for like Pryzbilla
Wow, nice pickup for the Blazers.
Damn...was hoping Utah could work something out with AK for Wallace.
i just ing hope the Bobcats are still willing to part with SJax at this point

Portland, with Batum and Wallace at the two and three, could be one of the best defensive teams on the perimeter in the league. What’s kind of sad to think is that if they had the old, explosive Brandon Roy and a functional Greg Oden this team would be a serious playoff threat to the West elite.
3:05 pm: It seems a number of teams love them some Gerald Wallace. Which make sense — he is one of he more unheralded quality small forwards in the league.
Portland is pushing hard to get Gerald Wallace according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo. Cleveland is in the mix, too, but that seems to be stalled out at best, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
I get the Blazers pushing, but what will they give up? Reports are the Bobcats are asking for Nicolas Batum to be part of the deal. The Trail Blazers don’t want to put the young French wing player in any trade. They shouldn’t in this case. Sure, Wallace is the better offensive player but he is also eight years older than Batum and more expensive
That said, there is value if you can get Wallace at he right price (Portland was thinking more like Rudy Fernandez and filler). Wallace, he is a quality three who is strong at both ends of the floor. His shooting numbers are down this season — 15.6 points per game on 43 percent shooting —because he is getting to the rim less often and shooting more from 16 feet out. That may change on a team with other quality offensive options.
Clearly the Bobcats are listening to offers but they wisely want a lot back for such a big chip. That may be too much for teams looking to steal a player. Still, it’s a name to watch.

Damn, the dominoes are really toppling now.
Dam da trades is goin crazy. Lets crank dis up a lil.
Yo tlong my G I think da blazers have a shot if dey play da lakas or da spurs. Watchu got on dat playa?
chill out my , Portland is desperate and the Bobcats got those suckas to take back that contract. Trust the MBT
Blazers looking dangerous...they should just bench Roy through March then use April as a pre-season for him prior to the playoffs.
Any estimate on how long it will take the Blazer training staff to break down his legs & knees?
Jacksons who we need anyway. Does anyone know how available he is?
4 weeks.
correctioned!
thats my question as well. hopefully still available after this trade.
if the Blazers get the 6 seed and play the Lakers in the first round.
Caron aint going nowhere. Mavs suck again.
since they now have a previous bobcat on their squad, its a guaranteed sweep of the lakers
