    I really can't see us doing anything to be honest.

    For starters, Nick's development as an NBA big has probably negated a need to go for a veteran big inside that was certainly there earlier in the season. Not to say we still couldn't use a Dale Davis type, but I'm not sure it would be a priority now.

    Safe to say Ray isn't going anywhere, and to be honest I don't see Rashard going either. Can't see who would be willing to give up anything that would really benefit us, though you can never discount it purely as a cost-cutting exercise I guess. I thought the Rashard for Nate/Frye deal was horrible (others on here will disagree almost certainly) and he's just hired a new agent in anticipation of more contract talks. I think he stays put.

    The Luke to Atlanta rumours seem like rubbish too (given Phoenix hold the Hawks' pick that was being touted) and while he is probably the most likely to be moved, I can't see many deals out there for him.

    Thoughts?

    Ray and Rashard won't be traded until the new arena deal is rejected.

    I can't imagine anyone really being in the block right now other than Fortson, and I don't think anyone is willing to take him on for even a third of the season.

    If there is anyone that I want to see traded it would be Ridnour, but I doubt that we could get anyone better in return to replace him.
