It's not the worst trade idea, but I think the Blazers are pretty happy 
with what they have in Wallace, as is Pitino with Walker.  Wallace is 
certainly a true 4 (and may even be able to play 5), but I don't think 
either side would want the deal right now.  Let's not give up on Antoine 
so fast.

I think Junior went to Turkey.  And even though he's only 6'7"/6'8", 
he's no three.  That's what you've got Mills, Mercer, Minor and Bowen 
for -- not to mention Antoine when Pitino wants to go big.  Three is not 
the problem.  Five is.  Where HAS Garth Joseph gone, anyway?
