    Does anyone think any blockbuster trades will go down during the off-season this year? Personally I don't see any big changes in the horizon but i'm wondering if anyone has a different opinion. Maybe something with Jermaine O'neal or possibely Ben Wallace?

    Ben Wallace will get resigned and if not, he'll get signed by another team.I'm hoping KG will go, Minny needs a change. He probably won't, seeing they won't trade for LBJ or Kobe. But if it's a bluff, anyone for him will be a big trade.

    I can see a possible blockbuster trade w. Jermaine O'Neal and also possibly w/ AI [​IMG] but I hope not

    I think Marbury will be traded and it will probably be his last team. He still has value since he does have talent, his attitude is what prevents him from being a great player. There have been a few rumors with him going to Minnesota, I'm not sure where he will go but they will waive him around and see what teams are interested.

    That is a possibility, if Indiana is going to trade Jermaine they will want something to build around for the future. I don't think they want another KG to happen and he has said before that he wouldn't mind getting traded. If Jermaine goes I see Peja leaving as well, maybe a sign and trade will go on with him.

    What in the world does Toronto have to offer for JO, that isn't named Chris Bosh? I mean maybe Villanueva, but at the same time, having two All-Stars on your team at the same position (JO/Bosh) is not great. Sure JO is an extremely talented player, but he plays the same position as Bosh and they would just continue there logjam at the 4 spot. Toronto is not a good fit for JO.

    I think Ben Wallace could end up in either Chicago or Toronto. Ben wants a big contract, something the Bulls and Raptors can offer him, but not the Pistons. It will all come down to weather Ben will let his hear, or his wallet make the decision. I don't know the deal with Peja, but it seemed as if he was probably going to end up playing for someone other then Indiana next year.

    Guys, I think these rumors from the media are all getting us excited about superstar players getting traded. Honestly, I hope that KG gets traded, but McHale is obsessed with keeping him so much that he doesnt want some young talent from Chicago for KG.

[​IMG] Anyway, KG won't move, and I doubt Ben will either for somewhat similar reasons. Indiana seems like a go-nowhere club, I think it'd be good for JO to go elsewhere.

    What is everyone's thoughts on Paul Pierce? In your mind, is it best for him to move elsewhere?

    No, he should and he probably will resign with the Celtics. They have a good young core which will hopefully develop soon. I can see them being a playoff contending team in as little as 1-2 years, the east isn't that hard for them not to make it.Pierce made it to the eastern conference semis in 2003 and to the conference finals in 2002 while doing it with a team basically consisting of Antoine Walker and himself.

    I really dont think anyone will move other then Marbury, although Id like to see AI move, possibly with the Knicks? Im sure with AI running the show back with brown(if he stays) they could turn that team around quickly into a playoff contender, although maybe AI is looking for his championship instead. But like I said, realistically I dont think AI,KG,JO(Why would he be traded anyway?) or Pierce is going anywhere.

Hope he stays I love going to games watching what he does night in, and night out. But if he goes to Minny he deff would have a chance at a title with KG.
