RE: Rasheed Wallace
I think Najera is the type of guy you dont want to trade. Because he has more value here than his "perceived value" around the league. Nellie likes him, and he makes meaningful contributions. Whereas, another team that gets him sees him as a liability and demands you give them something they like just to take Najera off your hands.
So in a trade, if you give away Najera PLUS a #1, from Dallas side you gave up two good things. From the other side, they received one good thing (#1 pick) plus one bad thing (Najera/contract) and thus they dont owe you anything back of any value. Giving Najera-plus-#1 while getting Nothing isnt a deal you want to make.
