    The four-team, five-player trade that went down on Wednesday could have actually been a lot bigger, according to a league source.

    The Bobcats and Raptors nearly got involved in the fray.

    Under one additional wrinkle, Charlotte would have sent Erick Dampier to Indiana, the Pacers would have shipped T.J. Ford to the Raptors and the Bobcats would have acquired Jose Calderon.

    In the end, the four original teams decided to move forward with the initial trade.

    Charlotte nearly acquired Calderon earlier this season in a deal that would have sent Tyson Chandler to Toronto, but Bobcats owner Michael Jordan nixed it at the last minute.
