Heh. So my wish might come true.

Hornets dangle Magloire in trade talks with Raptors
Do the Raptors go for immediate help with Magloire or try building for the future through the draft?
Sportsnet.ca -- The Toronto Raptors are in trade discussions with the New Orleans Hornets for Toronto-native Jamaal Magloire, the New Orleans Times-Picayune in reporting.
The paper says the proposed deal would send Toronto's two first-round picks (No. 7 & 16) to New Orleans in exchange for the Canadian centre. League sources told the paper no other players have been mentioned in the discussions.
According to the report, the sources also said New Orleans wants the deal, but Toronto is hesitant about giving up both first-round picks. Instead, the Raptors would rather package its No. 7 pick with a player off the current roster.
The Hornets already have the fourth overall selection, but it appears the club is trying to build through the draft to avoid having to dip into the free agent market next month.
Magloire was an All-Star selection during the 2003-04 the season, during the Hornets' last season in Charlotte. Selected by the Hornets with their first-round pick in the 2000 NBA draft, Magloire has averaged 9.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in four seasons. The Canadian centre appeared in only 23 games last season due to a fractured right ring finger.
Magloire spends the offseason in Toronto and has expressed in the past how difficult it is for him to leave the city before training camp starts in New Orleans. He has said on several occasions that he would like to return home one day to play in front of his family on a regular basis.
The highest-paid player on the Hornets' roster, Magloire will make approximately $8.5 million a season with two years left on his contract.

The thing is, I don't rate Magloire very highly. Only 9.5 pts/game and 7.4 rebounds for 8.5 mil a season. That's pretty damn expensive. And I don't want the Raps to give up both first rounders just for Magloire.
Though he would be very good support to Bosh up front.
