2013 NBA Trade Deadline Thread (February 21st 3pm EST)

[Morethan1]

who in the hell could the lakers trade to philly to get turner? I know philly ain't taking metta, jamison, or earl clark. and they already had jody meeks before.

Lakers fan has lost there fukking mind

 

[Taadow]

I like the trade Jennings, Dalembert and Udoh for Smith and Teague. Solves our PnR PG and true center questions.

HELL NAW to this...take Udoh out, exchange Jennings for Monta, and we'll talk...

 

[DoubleJ13]

Broussard so

OKC aggressively shopping PG Eric Maynor. Asking price is high.

Saw somebody else on twitter suggest JJ Hickson for Maynor. I wouldn't be against that really. Would give us another big to play against Miami if we get back to the finals since Thabeet can't be used against them. Plus his deal expires after the season.

Phoenix looking to move Sebastian Telfair to clear PT for Kendall Marshall. Toronto in need of backup PG; could be landing spot for Telfair or Minny's Luke Ridnour.

In talks with ATL for Josh Smith, Wizards have said all but 3 players available: J Wall, B Beal & Nene

 

[Hersh]

what's the latest rumors.. only 2 days left

 

[Brozay]

Sounds like the Suns really want to do something.. just no good trade partners.

Looks like it ll be a quiet deadline.

What is so good about this dude Nene he must have a great personality because I don't see it on the court.

d12 for Josh Smith ZaZA Puchulia... ive said this numerous times..

it works money wise...

works for the lakers.. moves gasol to his natural position C..

D'antoni offonse is focused on the PG/PF positions(look @ Earl Clark for proof)

1. Howard would not sign extension during the season therefore he wants to leave
--> Not 100 % correct, If he signs the extension right now he is only eligible to sign 3 yrs
instead of 5yr(if he chooses to Lakers) or 4 yrs(if he chooses to sign with other team)
therefore even if Howard is traded, he is not going to sign the extension with the team
during the season.

2. Howard S&T options
--> Under NEW CBA RULE, Lakers still can do S&T Howard to other team but there will
not most likly happened. Because 1. opposing team must be under cap
2. Howard would get SAME money and yrs as if he just signs with new team. So If Lakers
S&T Howard to Houston or Dallas, Howard would get same money 4 yrs about 88M.
That is same money Houston or Dallas can sign him outright. So there is no point for
Howard to force S&T unless Howard feels he owes Lakers which I doubt it.

3. Max Money Howard could get is with Lakers 5yrs about 110M
Max money Howard could get with other teams is 4 yrs about 88M.

then there this
Lakers owner says it is no accident they have 2014 cap space | ProBasketballTalk

Right now the only Lakers contract on the books for that season is Steve Nash at $9.7 million. You can expect Dwight Howard will be added to that list in the neighborhood of $21 million when he re-signs with the team this summer (he could technically leave but I wouldn’t bet on it). That’s a little over $30 million on the books, which even with the salary cap where it is now would leave them $28 million to chase free agents. That’s at least one max free agent.


“We purposely ended all contracts that year,” Buss said. “I can’t talk about Kobe (Bryant), but this is what he signed till. So basically we put everything to that, and we want to make a big splash in the free-agent market if we get to that spot. So we designed the contracts and the players and our future all around that….

“Yeah, depending on the free agents that year,” Buss said. “We would basically, money-wise, be able to sign the top free agent – maybe even two. I don’t know the numbers exactly, because we’re not privy to what the cap is and how much room we have, but it’s going to be close to two of the top free agents that year.”

 

[#1 pick]

I seen Mark Stein say that Atlanta would have interest in Ellis. That makes no sense. Ellis while he would be a better fit next to Teague instead of Jennings doesn't give Atlanta a PnR PG nor can't we cover for his liabilities without Josh Smith who is a defensive anchor. That would be a downgrade trade. I'll rather keep Josh and let him walk instead of Ellis. I serious doubt Atlanta is willing to trade Smith if they can't get someone who can really help us potential. That's not Ellis at all.

Of course you wouldn't.

Maynor has been benched and JJ Hickson is one of the most improved players this season who's averaging a double double. OF COURSE YOU wouldn't mind.

Blazers only reason for doing that would be to shave cash I'm assuming because it's not like Maynor would be that valuable to them with Lillard balling the fukk out at the PG position.
