Multiple NBA sources have confirmed that Charlotte moving Gerald Wallace is imminent, but Pro Basketball News has yet to learn of a definitive destination at this time.

The Bobcats have apparently talked about Wallace's long-term value to the franchise (he signed a six-year, $57 million extension in July of 2007) and decided that they would be better suited allocating such a significant salary to somebody else.

Who? Word is we'll know much sooner than later.

Yahoo! Sports reported in late October that Michael Jordan was talked out of trading Wallace in the offseason, but four games have apparently been enough to convince head coach Larry Brown that the Bobcats can afford to part with Wallace.

Golden State would be an ideal destination for Wallace, who would fit right in with the Warriors' up-and-down style. Forward Al Harrington, who has fallen out of favor with head coach Don Nelson and demanded a trade that he's been told will be granted at some point, is owed $19.3 million through next season ($9.3 this year and $10 next at player option) and would be the ideal pawn in a deal.

Considering New York has also been tied as a possible destination for Harrington, the fact the Knicks have Eddy Curry collecting dust also makes them a potential partner in a multiple-team deal.

Pro Basketball News has also been hearing since preseason that the Portland Trail Blazers have been seeking out teams for a blockbuster move as well, with no one outside of Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy considered untouchable.

There are rumors that Charlotte has also been said to have grown displeased with the inconsistent play of Raymond Felton and is also ready to pull the plug on Adam Morrison, so a massive shakeup could be in the works. This is not uncharted territory for Brown, who last looked to significantly shake up the Knicks roster following his disastrous first season in New York and was fired instead, replaced by then-president Isiah Thomas.

It appears that Brown has a more willing listener in his new boss, who has apparently grown tired of the product he's currently putting out there. The Bobcats have not won more than 33 games in their four-year existence and look no closer to being playoff contender than they were in their expansion season, but are about to get a face lift.

Stay tuned to more from Pro Basketball News on this developing story.

That's a terrible trade. Why the **** would we do that? You trade Lee to get rid of a contract, not to just get more crap. That does nothing for us and Harrington is the forward version of Crawford. If it's Lee and Curry, I'd think hard about it.

Not for nothing....if this rumor has any weight? Wallace for Harrington works straight up.

Golden state needs Felton too since they dont have a point guard......they have the chips to get him especially if they dont mind giving up a pick.

This needs to happen cuz it makes tons of sense for both teams....

Hopefully the Knicks can get in on this too.....like say the Knicks get Monta Ellis for Marbs since Golden State is pissed at Monta. Getting Wallace and Marbs is some huge **** right there.

Wishfull thinking but hey you never know.

Why don't we just go for Wallace? He's better than Harrington.

You mean this article, which talks about involving the Spurs as a third team, in deal to get Harrington, this is written by Isola so you have to consider the source as well.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh continues to pursue Golden State forward Al Harrington, but may need a third team to make a trade happen.
Harrington's contract matches the salary of Eddy Curry, who fell out of Mike D'Antoni's rotation even before suffering a knee injury. He is expected to be sidelined for two weeks.
The Knicks are willing to trade Curry, but the Warriors don't appear to have much interest in the former Bulls center. One other possibility would be for the Knicks to trade Malik Rose and David Lee to Golden State for Harrington. Otherwise, Walsh will have to find a third party.
One such team could be the San Antonio Spurs, who have a history of making trades with the Knicks and desperately need additional scoring.
The feeling is that by playing alongside Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, Curry could resurrect his career under Spurs coach Greg Popovich. One major stumbling block is that the Spurs may not have enough assets to satisfy the Warriors in a three-way move.
When Walsh was running the Indiana Pacers, he drafted Harrington in the first round out of St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, N.J. Harrington is the type of versatile power forward that D'Antoni seeks for his system.

Three for Al?

Walsh has had conversations with the Warriors about disgruntled forward Al Harrington, but the Warriors won't make a deal that doesn't include David Lee. However, there is talk that the Knicks could try to bring a third team - perhaps the Bobcats, according to the Charlotte Observer - into the discussion in order to land the athletic 6-10 forward/center, whom Walsh drafted for the Pacers in 1998.
