    Nevetheless, source says the Blazers still believe that Wallace could end up in the Eastern Conference. Portland's pushing, though.

    This is EXACTLY what we should be doing. For once let us be the team that scores a sweet player with an expiring contract!

    Somebody needs to wise me up. So why would Portland want Gerald Wallace unless they're trading Nic Batum? And really, another injury guy?

    It would be a great get. He can play SF and PF and is one of the best 1-on-1 defenders in the league.

    Cleveland's been talking to Bobcats for several weeks on a Wallace deal, too. As one GM has said, "Blazers have been anxious...determined.

    If the asking price is Przy + filler like some were suggesting, then I'd probably do it.

    Bringing Wallace off the bench at PF would really help the Blazers' depth. Roy, Rudy, & Wallace would put an end to the scoring droughts the second unit often suffers.

    I will say one thing that we all have confirmed....

    Blazers LOVE Harris and Wallace. For 2-3 years they have been after these guys. Those names and blazer trades are like charlie sheen and porn stars.

    Yep. Bring him off the bench at the 3 and 4... give him lots of minutes (with Aldridge playing the 5 at times). He'd be a great get.

    It seems to me that many people have failed to recognize we have been starting Dante Cunningham at center lately. Nick and Wallace could be on the court at the same time.
