I think the JJ trade is terrible, we need to pay the man.. I don't give a damn that he wants to be on the Hawks if he really does.. I hope something falls through...
Is there a chance this won't go through?

Lol, ok fair enough.
However, it is a done deal just as much as Bell signing with us is.
Jude LaCava has his head deep up his rear end. He just said that he thought they'd match. No mention at all of a sign and trade. He did pull out of the air the possibility of a three team deal.

It is all over ESPN. I just got an email from Paul Coro saying the deal was done. I got an email from Mark Asher saying the deal was done.
It is done.

According to two local columnists and ESPN.com ONLY, on a SUNDAY. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Why hasn't Coro done an article on azcentral yet? That doesn't make much sense, does it? If he knows it's true, that is.

Don't know if you read the thread I put up with parts from his email. At 9:40 he was just finishing writing his articles for tomorrow.
I mean I can forward you the emails chap if you don't believe me.

No, no, I certainly believe you. But this is a pretty huge story--easily the biggest story of our summer, certainly even bigger than the Q trade, and yet it's been almost 3 hours since he was supposed to finish his story and like 10 hours since ESPN first broke the news. You'd think the local rag would have SOMETHING on it.

I agree. They may just be waiting till the morning to update. Azcentral updates their stories pretty randomly, this isn't the first time a major story wasn't posted right away.

The Boldin extension article was posted immediately, and that was just to KEEP a current star player (at least locally). The JJ thing is about LOSING a star player and there is nothing on the site.

It seems that everyone is just taking Marc Stein's story and putting a different spin on the title.
RealGM claims it is on the verge of completion for example.
Coro didn't specifically say that the deal was done, although our email conversation was as if it was completed. From the tone it seemed like he knew it was done.
Asher on the other hand said "The JJ deal is done"

It is certainly NOT a done deal. RealGM is saying that the two teams are close to a deal. We have yet to hear anything official. I'd say that there is a 95% chance that it goes down, but here's to hoping that Sarver gets his head out of his ass and backs out.
Does anyone think that maybe, just MAYBE this is a ploy to get JJ to see what he is actually worth to ATL? I mean, come on, Diaw and lottery protected picks? Come on, that is just as much as a "slap in the face" as the deal that the Suns offered him.
I'm not holding my breath, but I wont give up until it's OFFICIALLY announced.

Who knows. Like I said they are all over the map. It took them a while to put up the Marbury trade story IIRC.
To anyone that watches the local news, did they mention it at all?

They put that as a title, and their story is simply a copy of Marc Stein's article.
So if ESPN says it is done using their own article, you would think that RealGM using the same article would get the same conclussion. Guess not

I read somewhere that Channel 12 ran some Suns segments and they never confirmed it. I don't even know if they reported it.

Well that is good news. If it falls through I will be the happiest guy out there. From the two emails I got it didn't sound like it would though, however I would love it if they were wrong (or in Coro's case not explicit)

How reliable is Asher? We never hear his name on this particular board.
