Bibby, Carter among others on the trading block?

This week rumors swirl around the NBA that star guards, Vince Carter and Mike Bibby are on the verge of being traded. Well, at least some people believe so. Another name that's been thrown around is James Posey. Miami wants to get Bibby, but they'll need to offer more than just a reserve small forward who can shoots the three ball. A while back reports claimed the Cavaliers were considering a swap for the Kings' point man. I assume the deal went flat. Before the trade deadline I think a few deals will swing, but probably nothing major.

With the All-Star game this weekend, team owners will get a showcase of the top talent on the market. There are extraordinary players that shouldn't go anywhere. Why would the Nets even consider trading Vince Carter now? They'd be crazy to let him go. Besides Richard Jefferson is injured (again) as well as Nenad Kristic. New Jersey needs to find another power forward and small forward. The East will be up for grabs late in the season, but still they want to be able to survive until then.

The Bulls and Grizzlies are negotiating on a trade to send Pau Gasol to Chicago, but for who? I'm not sure why they'd want another big man in the starting lineup unless he'd come off the bench, but would make no sense for a talent such as Gasol. I like the team that could break apart from everyone in the East is Orlando. Darko Milicic have drawn interest with a increase in minutes this year.

With Dwight Howard hot, assuming his production carries over into the second half the Magic may other need another good defensive player who can rebound to come off the bench. They already have a stock pile of good shooters who haven't been able to prove themselves yet due to lack of minutes. The veteran, Grant Hill could be a candidate on the trading block. Knowing his value to a such a diverse team the Magic will most likely keep him. Since I'm a Cavs and Lebron James fan I hope they made a move for another star quality guard before the trade deadline. Another offensive threat on the floor would be great...Lebron won't complain.
