Bobcats coach Larry Brown says that he doesn't anticipate the team making a trade before Thursday afternoon's deadline.

"Michael (Jordan) said if we can get talent back, and maybe move some pieces that aren't playing a lot here, we would consider that," Brown said.

"But I really don't anticipate that happening and I think we're all pretty happy with what we have to work with right now."

The latest rumor had the Bobcats trading Gerald Wallace and Sean May to the Blazers for Nicolas Batum and Raef LaFrentz's expiring contract.
