Trade Deadline Thread

[LogicMan]

We wont know the details of the deals. I am sure Larry and Ainge were close.

Ainge was dealing for a 17/18 title not this year.

Unless Indy or Chicago caved there was no way Celts would give up players and that #1.

Danny will go after Hayward in the offseason, but I suspect Utah will go max out.

That said I am convinced Avery is on the trading block now. Many teams are after him, and Danny cant pay him and Smart/IT.

Let the Avery rumors start

I'm hearing Cavs are likely to get Deron and then will choose 1 of either Bogut or Larry Sanders. That choice might be made for them if Bogut chooses SAS or HOU . Chalmers back-up plan if Deron falls through.

Lakers' goal: lose, lose, lose

Lakers' goal: lose, lose, lose

Yessir! Ideally would get past the Nets, but that lead is likely insurmountable. I would settle for getting past the Suns into 2nd last.

 

[Gman]

Well, he did trade for those picks that are now so valuable. He needs another former Celtic to get a GM job and help him out again.

Larry Bird wasn't an option?

Magic sent Huertas, who was like breasts on a bull, to Houston for Tyler Ennis. Not a bad deal as the Rockets will waive Heurtas and he'll be back at some point. Maybe in the D-league or Magic will waive Calderon and bring back Huertas or sign another guard for that roster spot. Looks as though Magic is going to get all the youngsters major playing time while they lose, lose, lose. Nobody wants Swaggy P so he'll probably stick around and earn a spot on the team for next year.

Lakers get Tyler Ennis
The Lakers have reportedly acquired Tyler Ennis from the Rockets in exchange for Marcelo Huertas.

I think Danny will accept help from anyone -- Billy King is still Boston's favorite GM.

Chris Haynes: Cleveland in prime position to snag Andrew Bogut, Deron Williams on buyout market. Such additions would spell end of Jordan McRae’s tenure.

IF they get both than that would be pretty crazy honestly...

Kyrie - Deron
JR - Korver - Shump
Lebron - Jefferson
Love - Frye
TT - Bogut

They go 11 deep. They are the new Warriors with that bench.

Not so fast....Remember when the Clippers did this to Chauncey?....lol
..........Albert Nahmad: Utah Jazz could claim Deron Williams off waivers (to steal him away from Cavs), and they’d save $1.8M doing it.

Fuck the Jazz. They better know not to fuck with The King.

 

[bksballer89]

Can't blame the Hawks for a lack of effort.

 

[Mecca]

My mistake. Did not know GS traded Boget. Thought he left due to being a FA.

Thanks for the info.

You were right after all.

 

[Mecca]

Don't remember who posted that Bogut was eligible to return to the Warriors, but, you were right, I was wrong.

 

[Davis_Mike]

The Suns will waive both Scott & Sullinger. They were both acquired in deals today.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Fuck the Jazz. They better know not to fuck with The King.

NBA trade deadline: Bulls' trade with Thunder returns players who have been uniquely terrible this year

 

[Retroram52]

Hey Turnup. That post of Boozer got me thinking of another complete joke of a player now "retired" in the Rickey Williams sense. LOL! Andrew Bynum!

Andrew Bynum is 28 years old and definitely not making an NBA comeback

I want to feel bad for him. His knees falling apart is what ended his career. He's only 28 and should just be in the middle of his prime. Instead, he's out of the league for good.

Having said that, his behavior has been pretty poor. It's one thing to be collecting a check when you have nothing left to give because of injury, age or whatever. But to have an "I don't give a fuck" attitude when you are being paid that kind of money is inexcusable and why I don't feel bad for him.

Larry's too competitive to give in.
