    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">The wheeling and dealing might not be over. There are persistent rumors about trades involving Ilgauskas and Darius Miles.

    Looks like the Cavs are really trying to get solid players around Lebron. I've heard possible trades of Z for Juwan, but I dont think that would go down.

    No way. Then the Cavs would be in the same boat as the Magic, having a young developing 4 and then bringing in a veteran 4 like Howard. I think Juwan's already tried to make it clear that he doesn't want to play at the 5, and if he doesn't then it will be hard to find both him and Booz minutes.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Cavs tried to make a pitch to a team like San Antonio to bring in Rasho Nesterovic and one of their scorers like Mercer, Horry or Turkoglu. They'd have a 2 guard with Ron or Hedo and a center to replace Z for the time being. Hedo or Horry could play the 3 when Dajuan gets back.

    For the Spurs, they'd have a better scoring center, but I'm not sure if they want that. Rasho's been giving them what they need in rebounding and blocked shots recently, but a guy like Miles could play a Jackson-esque role coming off the bench and bringing athleticism. And he would team well with Tony and Manu in the future, giving the Spurs a fast-break style that they really haven't had since the 80's.
