I hear Barton had a huge upside, but was a flop..... I guess Colangelo sees something every other GM in the NBA/CBA/Europe/durham rec leagues don't

Never say never. There was a trade that happen a couple of years ago and both players were sent back because of the physical. They actually were in the towns they were traded to and had to fly back.

I'm not saying it never happens, but it's a slim chance they don't past the phy.

Until they say it's official, it ain't official.

They have also inquired about Shawn Marion and Rip Hamilton. So it doesn't sound like the raps are done or still looking to improve the team. I think with what Boston has done that pretty much every team in the east needs to improve.

No. They are interested, but Detroit wants Calderon. Indiana will also get Maceo Baston as the fourth player

Is Maggette still avail? That would be a sweet trade for Calderon.

I think that Oneal will be the biggest off season aquisition...

Bosh, O'Neal, Moon, Parker, Calderon = nice starting 5

maybe another sg/sf, Center and a backup guard are on Colangelo's shopping list????
