Trade Deadline Thread

[pokerface]

People been wanting to trade Knight away for nothing and now McD is willing to and fans are like "we want more than a second rounder"...wtf?

 

[JCSunsfan]

I haven't been wanting to trade him for nothing. I do NOT want to give up assets to move him. Knight will improve and be a productive player wherever he goes.

It will be interesting if the Suns keep him. Will Ulis take his minutes? I think it could get awkward.

I've heard Toronto players are pushing management to trade for PJ Tucker because they need someone who can defend Lebron

More from Gambo.

Make the trade!

You get whatever you can for knight plain and simple

The next two hours and 52 minutes, actually, for Philly to find a trade partner for Bogut

Yep. Owed 44 Million over the next 3 years. I'd take that 2nd rounder and an expiring at this point. He's not going to fit in here.

Provided the deal terms don't change, Dallas will create two trade exceptions in this Nerlens Noel deal, worth $6.6 million and 1.5 million

Regarding Bogut.

Sources: Barring unlikely landing spot by 3 PM ET, Andrew Bogut, 76ers beginning to engage on buyout talks. Bogut wants to be free agent.

Sources: If Sixers do not receive Mavs top-18 protected pick this season, it converts to 2 2nd-round picks: Mavs 2nds in 2017 and 2018.

 

[Chaplin]

Can someone remind me how good a GM Bryan Colangelo is? Because he got FLEECED by Dallas.

 

[JCSunsfan]

He did not want to pay Noel.

Not really they don't want Noel like we don't want knight. They've even sent Noel home this season

 

[Mainstreet]

Nets pick, owned by Boston, is reportedly in play for any team.

Probably leverage for Celtics to obtain George from Pacers.

 

[Chaplin]

That's weak reasoning. Dallas will be receiving a young athletic center for 2 2nd round picks. That's fleecing.

As trade deadline nears, it appears rest of league is less-than-enthralled with Iman Shumpert. Everyone wants pick too. #Cavs have none.

Marc Stein‏ @ESPNSteinLine
Can echo what @WindhorstESPN just said on @SportsCenter: More than a few rival teams out there think Boston has a shot at Paul George today.

Marc Berman‏ @NYPost_Berman
Hearing Beverley isn't going anywhere so Knicks not adding the defensive PG they chased in summer of 2015.

 

[Mainstreet]

It seems the value of first round picks have gone way up.

David Aldridge‏ @daldridgetnt
Still waiting to hear if Jazz move to bring Deron Williams back to the SLC. If no deal is done, Williams won't ask for a buyout from Mavs.

 

[Ronin]

Steve Kyler‏ @stevekylerNBA
Keep in mind that Dallas faces a real hurdle in trading Deron Williams - by signing one-year deal, he gained veto rights on any trade

Pacers involved in talks with teams potentially to clear roster spots, sources say. Teams suspect might be related to Celtics talks

I think the Suns might be looking to jump into a big trade like this to get assets for helping make it happen.
