While Ainge is promising and fans are clamoring for another big move, I don't think a trade is in the cards. I'd like to see if we could get Lamar Odom in a deal for Wally Szczerbiak or maybe investigate getting one of Seattle's big men for Delonte West, but as of now, I believe the roster is set. Or should be. Danny has said he's not done dealing but he's made one solid deal so, with his trade history, I wouldn't push his luck.
Assuming Pierce isn't going anywhere, Wally is our biggest trade piece and I can't see many deals that make sense. Drew Gooden? No thanks. Jamal Crawford and Malik Rose or Q Richardson? I don't see Jamal fitting in now that we have Telfair running the point. Q's contract is garbage. Would Indiana be willing to give up Granger or Shawne Williams in a deal? Probably not although Bird is pretty horrific so who knows. Maybe he likes Wally for Sarunas, Granger and Croshere's expiring deal. The big names, KG, JO, Marion, Richard Jefferson are likely out of reach.
Honestly, I just don't see a worthwhile deal shaping up and if we wait a year, Theo Ratliff's contract will be expiring and Wally's contract will be one year shorter. Also, he'd hopefully not be coming off of end-of-season surgery which would make it easier to move him. This is shaping up to be 2003 all over again. Danny might feel he needs to make a move (like he did with Walker) but he would be better off waiting a year so that our assets have more trade value.
