The only solace I'll be able to take if a trade does get done is that he'll be going to a competitive organization where he'll have the opportunity to win. He deserves that.

I agree. I think Antawn Jamison deserves the absolute best. My big complaint has been that he hasn't always been given a chance to shine here in Dallas. Now, he may never get that chance.
I will say that as the Mavs start to play better, this franchise will probably be less inclined to make a move for Rasheed. Several people have mentioned that Walker to Jamison is starting to look pretty good on the floor. If we see it, others see it as well, and may be more likely to choose to not take such a risk or gamble.
Maybe, as the Blazers continue their free-fall, the price will go down on Rasheed and we can exchange Walker for him instead. I can hope...I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed though. Even worse, I'm afraid those Celtic fans will still be around...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
