Just thought it would be interesting to list the latest NBA trade rumors. Take it all with a grain of salt.

Mavs
Mavs were close to pulling the trigger on a deal for Charlotte’s Raymond Felton until D.J. Augustin strained a hamstring.

They are considering a deal for Memphis's Mike Conley and Sacremento's Beno Udrih.

Philladelphia
Rumor has it that Brand is being shopped around. However, a source within the Sixers has said that Stefanski had made no trade related calls regarding Brand but did not deny fielding calls initiated by other teams.

Toronto
Toronto is actively shopping Jermain O'Neal. It was thought the most likely trade would be Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami. However, 3 teams have recently thrown their hat into the ring for J.O.

Chris Bosch rumors are still out there that he will not resign with the team. The Team has maintained they have no plans of trading Bosch.

Sacremento
John Salmons is on the trading block for the Kings. The Kings have let it be known that he is available and on the block.

Brad Miller is also rumored to be the most available big man in the NBA. Cleveland was rumored to be the most interested in Miller but have cooled as of late because of how well the team has played.

Jazz
The Jazz might be looking to move Jarron Collins , Brevin Knight and Morris Almond because they have attractive expiring contracts. What's unclear is if the Jazz are willing to take any returning salary.

Knicks
Knicks have halted talks in a buyout with Marbury due to Marbury indicating he would sign with the Celtics or Miami. It's rumored that Marbury is also considering the Mavs and has already had a discussion with Cuban. The Knicks would be more likely to let Marbury go if he agreed to sign with a West Coast team.

The Knicks are also exploring moving Nate Robinson by next summer. They want to free themselves of his contract for the 2010 FA period. The Knicks might be willing to move him now if the right trade comes along.

On a side note, don't be to convinced Lebron to NY is a forgone conclusion. It's rumored that the Knicks are not entirely convinced they will get Lebron and have set their sites on Joe Johnson as an alternative FA prize.

Charlotte
Charlotte is signing Cartier Martin of the D-leauge to a 10 day contract with the possibility of singing him for the rest of the season. The high scoring swingman scored 31 points in his last outing.


Heat
Pat Riley confirmed the teams is fielding trade offers. They are looking to acquire another big man. So far the biggest name to be mentioned is Shawn Marion with the possibility of Marcus Banks being included in any deal.

Bulls
The Bulls are actively shopping Larry Hughes. The Bulls feel like they never got the contribution from Hughes after the trade from the Cavs.

Nets
Nets are looking to move forward Bobby Simmons in return for a guard. The most recent rumor being that the Nets are still looking at Larry Hughes of the Chicago Bulls as an option.

Indiana
PG Jamaal Tinsley might be moved by the trading deadline. They will file a grievance through the NBA Players Association to have him traded, waived or bought out.

Sixers dont need Brand.

And in the past, mainly at RealGM, I've proposed many Brand to Suns (mainly Stoudemire) deals.

But since the Suns have won 2 in a row... it seems everyone here is a bit quiet now.
Especially since Stoudemire has been "key" to those wins.
For me, it even further proves that when Stoudemire pouts and "sooks" Suns loses.
The question is... do the Suns want to risk any more pouting.... especially with the team supposed to be "veteran" and "locker room" friendly.

The part I found interesting is the Knicks going after Joe Johnson if Lebron doesn't come there.

If Lebron stays..

Can play PG/SG/SF

D'Antoni type.... ALL-STAR.


He'd put up 25/7/5 in that team....generously....

Who else is there for them to pursue? Wade and Lebron will extend theirs. If they could get Bosh and JJ, they'd rock.

I found it interesting because conspiracy/tampering theorists were all saying Lebron to Knicks was a lock. Obviously, nobody told the Knicks if this backup plan is out there.

Marion and Banks should just form a civil union

Something with Memphis may be in the works. No idea the principals yet...

He has been proven as a reliable source after many correct insider tips, most recently the J Rich deal, and the Dee Brown signing. I think he also was on the Shaq trade prior to it going down. This definitely doesn't sound like anything concrete, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Any ideas? Considering the youth of the Grizz, I would guess that talks are surrounding Amar'e and or Barbs, and perhaps filler players. The Grizz would definitley not be interested in taking back Shaq or Nash.

The recent Kings win may delay any trades especially if the Suns go on a run. We'll see. Should be fun.

It's hard to see much of appeal in Memphis. They do have a big expiring contract (Antoine Walker), but they're thin on attractive young talent. Presumably Mayo and Gasol are their keepers. Warrick is older than Stoudemire (!) and neither Conley nor Lowry has shown much. Gay is attractive, but I don't see him as the centerpiece of a major deal.

Memphis's largest salary is Darko at 7 mil per (ESPN trade machine does not show the Antione Walker contract), so any trade would be difficult. Here is one that I found that works though.

Amar'e for Gay, Conley, and Darko. We could throw in another minimum player like Barnes to keep our roster at 13 as well as relieve the logjam the trade would create at the wing.

The trade would give us:

Nash, Conley
J Rich, Barbs
Gay, Hill, Dudley
Darko, Amundson
Shaq, Lopez

Interesting. I would have to look at the roster more closely. Shaq is not going anywhere. Nobobdy is going to take on that salary and Shaq would not want to be traded to a non contendor. Nash either. I would bet it's Amare.

Also, the Kings win should not delay anything unless this franchise is completely starting drinking the stupid juice. Getting a win against a horrible franchise blow out or not, should not change your direction.

As much as I think Rudy Gay is a bad ass and future star, you can't win even one play off series with Darko and Amundson as your PF rotation. :(

How many did we win last year with Amar'e and Boris? Just saying.

This franchise has been drinkin it awhile, the question is how many bottles?

I think the Suns players have quit drinking the juice (kool-aid) for quite awhile, hence reality has set in. Now it appears the FO is still partaking of the stuff.
