Trade talks & rumors

I've Never heard of Lance Thomas....

Shams Charania ‏@ShamsCharania 41s41 seconds ago
Lance Thomas, a 6-foot-8 forward, has been informed he won't play for the Thunder's game in Oakland tonight.

JR Smith on the Cavs? Not sure that's a great idea. Unless he's on an expiring and they did this mainly for Shumpert.

 

[sunsfan88]

Melo and Waiters both in NY is interestig though. They both went to Syracuse iirc.

Reggie Jackson is not included in a deal to the Knicks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. So far, unclear if he's headed anywhere at all.

 

[sunsfan88]

I wish the Suns would trade a 2nd rd pick or something for Dalembert. He's an upgrade over Plumlee/Randolph.

 

[Ronin]

Samuel Dalembert is also on the block. I'm a little bit interested in getting him.

Al Iannazzone ‏@Al_Iannazzone 24m24 minutes ago
jR Smith and Samuel Dalembert have been pulled from tonight's game. Shumpert would have been but he is not healthy. They are all on way out

Be patient...won't need to give up a pick for him, Dalembert is being waved.

Al Iannazzone ‏@Al_Iannazzone 23m23 minutes ago
Correction, Sam Dalembert will be waived by the knicks. jr smith and Shumpert are involved in the trade.

 

[Mainstreet]

This might all be more exciting if the Suns were involved.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't know how it would happen salary wise but I would like to have Amare as an expiring contract.

 

[sunsfan88]

He'll probably sign with a contender.

2nd rd pick wouldn't have been such a loss. First Ed Davis, then Tarik Black and now Dalembert...the pattern is that McD is passing on bigs who may be useless offensively but are skilled defensively.

 

[sunsfan88]

I don't know how it would happen salary wise but I would like to have Amare as an expiring contract.

Maybe not Amare but looks like Lou Amundson just became available.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't think the Suns could get Amare with out giving up considerable talent but Amare would help the Suns now and provide a huge salary slot for next season. The Suns do not have much dead weight. Lou Amundson is just another role player. No thanks.

 

[Ronin]

Louis Amundson is being waived also. He should retire.

Al Iannazzone ‏@Al_Iannazzone 35m35 minutes ago
Knicks getting Lance Thomas from OKC and Louis Amundson and Alex Kirk from Cleveland and plan to waive all three.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the only thing that the Knicks are getting back is a second round pick.


lol you gotta love the Knicks.

Probably. Some reports may be reported later but not up to date.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I think the Knicks are making moves to open space up for an Amare deal.

[Ronin]

woof....Derek Fisher's coaching career win totals is taking a hit this year.

 

[Mainstreet]

I can hear the crickets chirping.

 

[Ronin]

Cavs not finished making moves according to Sam Amico. David Geffen is doing work.

Sam Amico @SamAmicoFSO · 10m 10 minutes ago
As source told @FOXSportsOH earlier, another big man, separate from reported three-team deal with Knicks and Thunder, "in play" for Cavs.

Oklahoma City is sending a protected future first-round pick to the New York Knicks, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

I think you mean David Griffin, formerly of the Suns. The Cavs don't need David Geffen on their side too. He's like a god in the business world and they already have The King.

Smart move by OKC.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard 8m8 minutes ago
Sources tell ESPN's Marc Stein Cavs will ALSO receive heavily protected future first-round pick from Oklahoma City as part of 3-way swap

Misinterpreted where OKC's sending its protected first-round pick: It's headed to Cleveland, not New York. Apologize.
