Trade Deadline Day

6 hours left and nothing big

Adrian Wojnarowski ✔ @WojYahooNBA Houston is still lingering in Josh Smith talks, but Atlanta's desire for Asik and Parsons is a non-starter for Rockets, sources tell Y!




Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
The Rockets, flush with assets, are involved at "high level" in Josh Smith talks, league source says.
But Houston has leverage: cap room this summer to land Smith as a free agent. Limits the assets they are willing to part with now.

DO NOT WANT

Atlanta has to do the best possible deal for Smith. That could still be the Bucks in the East, but again, Hawks prefer to send him West.

Lakers offering Steve Blake, Chris Duhon, Devin Ebanks, Darius Morris for 2nd-rounders, sources say. Looking to unload, free roster spots.

I hope the Spurms get a backup PG for Parker. No more of Neal picking up his dribble at halfcourt as his only defense of getting out of traps.

Boring-ass trade deadline so far, tbh...

Boring-ass trade deadline so far, tbh...

Alot of deals don't get reported until after the deadline.

[jeebus]

Boring-ass trade deadline so far, tbh...

a lot of the sports writers on twitter keep throwing out names that teams are shopping yet no one is buying. iirc, last year there were a ton of trade that happened in the 11th hour. could happen again this year tbh or not imo.

[Clipper Nation]

Alot of deals don't get reported until after the deadline.
That's true, I remember the Swaggy P trade happening like right at the deadline last year, tbh...

[Strategic]

I'm not really sure why the league would allow the Kings' ownership to make any trade deadline moves tbh. Put a moratorium on anything they do until this relocation thing is settled one way or another.

[Clipper Nation]

Looks like the KG-to-LAC talks are back on...

gnsf is like mercury, once it gets in you it's there for life. That's why i rarely venture up there.

I venture up there during:

A) losing streaks/blowout losses. great meltdown material
B) during trading season to witness the fantastic threads
C) when the Spurs lose a playoff series. comedy plutonium

This one is weird. Why would the Celtics want Tyreke? He's been a bust since having a pretty good rookie year. Having said that since Kings are just giving players away, C's can probably trade an autographed picture of Larry Bird for him.

KG would be great for the Clipps. Not sure if KG will waive his no-trade clause though.

It is getting ugly for Atlanta... teams smell blood in the water on Josh Smith and not willing to really offer much.

We're gonna see deals in final hour of NBA trade season. Just not sort of deals Twitter wants to see ... apart from maybe the Josh Smith-er

Lakers did not sit on their hands... hearing they made a run at Daniel Gibson from Cleveland offering basically the end of their bench...



:lol couldn't get Boobie Gibson with their trash.

[Suspect]

Id like Josh Smith in Houston, but not for my nigga Parson or Asik

Bring Kyrie to Houston tho IMO

Celtics Trade For Jordan Crawford, Wizards Receive Barbosa

The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Jordan Crawford to the Boston Celtics

The Celtics have been discussing including Fab Melo in their trade for Crawford, but he reportedly will not be going to the Wizards.

The Wizards will acquire the expiring contract of Leandro Barbosa.

The Dallas Mavericks had also been interested in acquiring Crawford.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

[Clipper Nation]

Shittiest trade deadline ever :lol

[jeebus]

I, along with thousands of gnsf bretheren, am surprised the Spurs didn't trade Blair for Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, and JJ Redick.

Reddick is now on the Bucks. Wow.

Ronnie Brewer is a scrub, OKC should have just kept the pick :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

brewer is a scrub no doubt, but it allows thunder to put out another wing player for small ball if needed...

hence begs the question, dont they have some good rookies on their list thats not gettin any burn time?...dont think they are interested in developing players since they are in win mode now, and we all know how that panned out for the spurs

[Ace]

:lol Dexter Pittman and a 2nd traded to Memphis for a TE.

Making way for Oden, imo..

Make use of the 10 mil expiring of the guy shooting 37% from the field.

if ur going to trade jax

u might as well trade ginoboli, how much more bullshit do spurs have to put up with him...whether its injuries or last second plays costing spurs advancing...

[DAF86]

Sure, if you can get back a 21.31 PER+ guy back for him, why not?

Josh Smith for Jackson, Blair/Bonner, draft picks and/or money.

[Raven]

Josh Smith for Jackson, Blair/Bonner, draft picks and/or money.

they don't want that, what next?

[DAF86]

they don't want that, what next?

Are you telling me they don't want that or are you asking me what's next in case the Hawks wouldn't have gone for that?

Seeing how they couldn't get anything done, I doubt they would have seen with bad eyes 10 millons on expirings, a decent regular season rotation player, drafts picks and/or cash.

[djohn2oo8]

I think Atlanta fucked up. Jsmoove isn't re-signing there, they had a deal but pulled out at 2:59. I think they were asking alot from the Rockets, Morey said he would pull the offer, and Atlanta called his bluff. Once he actually pulled it, the Hawks were stuck.

its expiring anyway, could use cap to go after d12...

but josh smith is an expiring anyway, and a bigger one.. they also refused much better deals..

[DAF86]

Yeah, but they won't get draft picks and/or cash now that they're stuck with him. What better deals? I didn't have the chance to see anything yet.

Letting him walk for nothing >>>>>>>>>>>> getting Monta Ellis in return for him

[Raven]

what would they do with a san antonio draft pick in a horrible draft, they are betetr off rolling the dice and letting j-smoove finding out that none wants to give him a max deal, then sign him along with howard... that's the idea anyway..

Smith isn't staying, besides why would the Hawks want to sign Howard when they have Horford?

[Raven]

smith-horford-howard is quite fearsome tbh... that is, if you don't value smallballism which atlanta doesn't, i think.. they were playing smith-horford-pachulia for long stretches last year..
