Trade deadline

[Divide Et Impera]

I just saw on ESPN what the Hawks did. I'd call them immediately and offer VC/RoLo/Warrick/#1/$3m for Smith/Williams/Pachulia.

ATL ends up with Heinrich-Johnson-Warrick-Horford-RoLo with Crawford, VC, Teague, and Evans as their rotation guys. And ATL picks up an additional $17m in capspace compared to not doing this trade.

PHX ends up with Nash-Dudley-Hill-Smith-Gortat with Dragic-Williams-Frye-Pietrus as the rotation guys.

I'd run with that.....

Portland has agreed to trade Wesley Matthews to Utah for Devin Harris.

Suns only team with winning record in West not in any trade talks at all.

No they didn't. That was a fake rumor someone started.

It's best to stick with major websites/news outlets for rumors and trade announcements and not message boards or social networking sites.

Why would Atlanta take on Warrick? They're trying to get rid of a bad deal not add another one on.

Seriously folks when you make trade proposals try to be rational and look at it through the other team's eyes. Warrick being added here makes zero sense for them

Yea it was faked but I got it from Harris's twitter account and some ESPN guy confirmed it. But both accounts were fake.

18-10 to get humiliated by San Antonio in the 1st rd.

San Antonio is old and moldy, the yucky blue stuff just hasn't appeared yet.

Lol, why the hell would Blazers want to do that. Apart from Aldridge, Mathew is the reason they are above 500

Did you see Gortat say the same thing you did after the game? Said he needs to be more aggressive on his offense. You called that one pretty good. Muchos propeneros.

Jermaine O'Neal for Josh Childress rumor. At ESPN's Boston page, there was also a link that mentioned Nate Robinson and injured Marquis Daniels for Josh Childress - under Peter May's players to keep an eye on.


I like Nate Robinson... O'Neal has 2 years left on contract.

I would take that deal simply because the Suns are rumored to be desperate to move Josh's contract. We all know when the Suns get desperate we see some questionable results. I would take this over them moving Dudley (which is what teams want from the Suns) any day of the week.

His contract is shorter than Chilli's, but I am not sure he has ANYTHING left in the tank.

They would do it because Warrick is basically a swap for Pachulia (contracts match relatively closely in term and amount). Warrick has positive value (minor) and Pachulia has negative value. ATL gets a net increase of cap space in the realm of $17 million from VC and a decent upgrade in Warrick over Pachulia.

As I posted, ATL would run Hinrich-Johnson-Warrick-Horford-RoLo.

They'd be a better team for it and we get some strong pieces to make us immediately better as well while being able to slot Gortat as our starting 5....
