It’s always possible, but don’t expect any major moves before Thursday’s NBA trading deadline. A veteran such as Antoine Walker, who isn’t happy with his lack of playing time, might see an increase in his value as another

“I think those might probably be the deals that

boost the bench or give you added shooting or added defense or whatever
