Deals on the day of the trade deadline

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:smokin nothing exciting yet.....

[ploto]

Rumors of possible Cleveland blockbuster trade...

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

ugh just heard on radio that the Grizzlies are looking to deal Miller to the hornets.......

:drunk no way........... please please please noooooooooo! lol

Nene could end up in Miami for Jwill........ or in New Jersey for Magloire and Nachbar

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

realgm is saying that the Heat are shopping marion :lol

he has more value than shaq so its a good move either way

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Cleveland still after Miller from the 76ers?

EDIT: Ahh, the rumors are rampant in Cleveland. Dreaming of Marion and Lowry going to the Cavs.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lol sounds like the Nuggets..........wanting artest, miller, lowry, exp contracts lol

i bet nothing is done except for Taurean Green :drunk

[Kriz-Maxima]

Are Pistons fans the only ones not expecting a trade?

[RonMexico]

I want Suns to get Quinton Ross or Kyle Lowry.

[RonMexico]

According to the Houston Chronicle, the Spurs just traded Kurt Thomas to Houston for Bonzi Wells and Luis Scola.

How is that possible if Bonzi is headed to New Orleans?

[ploto]

David Aldridge is a pretty good source, and he is the one speculating in the Cleveland trade possibly involving Marion since he heard rumblings over the All-star break about Miami looking to trade Marion.

:fishing

[Findog]

We need a backup center in the worst way, but nobody wants our garbage, and we don't have any expirings.

I was reading that you still have your MLE and maybe someone might get bought out and you have the money to go after him??

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

lol cleveland rumour is Kmart AND A FIRST for Hughes :lol :drunk

Kmart is finally healthy and hughes still sucks (although he has had a few nice games lately)

[Findog]

We also supposedly have a TE from the Anthony Johnson trade. They need to do something though, Damp is not enough when you consider all the bigs we'll face in the playoffs.

You need Rasho :D

It was a complete joke.

[ploto]

Denver may have all but checked themselves out of the Ron Artest trade talks, but Marc Stein reports that they are looking to deal Nene.

The Nets and Heat are both said to be interested in the Brazilian big.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Nene for exp contracts..........I was hoping the Nuggets could then turn around and send exp contracts for Mike Miller

[Shank]

Will Nene even play this season?

[stretch]

It was a complete joke.
Got it.

[Shank]

Mavs don't have much to trade away to go after any sort of a big name, frontcourt guy. Diogu, Petro might be options. Jeff Foster might be out of reach. Justin Williams a possibility for a 10-day contract. Might be slim pickin's...shit.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Will Nene even play this season?

maybe. he was practicing today i hear.

[Thunder Dan]

Cleveland won't do anything, you can put the rumors to rest. Danny Ferry scheduled a dentist appointment for 3 today so he would have an excuse

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

sounds like Nene to heat could be a done deal for Jwill.

Should pave the way for Artest now :smokin

only 'sources' at the moment though

[baseline bum]

How could Miami trade Marion? Doesn't the CBA only allow a traded player to be traded only on the first day he's with his new team, and only in a 1-for-1 swap with no picks, cash, etc?

[ploto]

Chad Ford: (1:24 PM ET ) Maybe ... call was about Ben Wallace in a possible deal with the Cavs. I've got to stress that it was from what I'd call a third party source ... not someone directly involved in the negotiations. So ... take it with a grain of salt ... but interesting ...

Chad Ford: (1:25 PM ET ) The deal as I heard it ... by the way ... had Drew Gooden, Ira Newble, Shannon Brown and Cederic Simmons coming back to Chicago.

I dunno. I don't know if there was any changes, but I remember Rasheed was traded to the Hawks and actually played a game before being traded to the Pistons.

[Bob Lanier]

Orlando just acquired Andre Miller according to ESPN Radio.

[ploto]

Andrew Cleveland,Ohio: Is the Chicago-Cavs deal final?

Chad Ford: (1:55 PM ET ) No ... I want to stress that. What we've heard is that they have had talks. That's it. We all keep hearing that they've also been talking to Seattle about Wally Szczerbiak too. Not sure what's up with that.

it's just Ferry spinning his tires to make it look like he tried

If that's true, it's a great pickup for Orlando. Miller will alley-oop to Howard all fucking day.

That's what I have heard, too.

They can be traded by themselves at any time, but cannot be included in a package for 2 months. And of course, he can't be traded back to the Suns, period.

[Bob Lanier]

It isn't, don't worry.

[ploto]

Chad Ford: (2:15 PM ET) We have multiple confirmations about the Bulls-Cavs talking. The hang-up seems to be the Cavs insisting that Larry Hughes be in the deal. If that's dropped, I'm told Bulls would agree.

[loveforthegame]

Seems pretty quiet for only a half hour left. Plenty of time, I know, but not much out there rumor wise.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

looks like Artest to Denver wont happen........bugger

thought that Nene for Jwill was done but i guess not

[Xylus]

Man, this trade deadline sucked ass. I can't believe no teams made any major moves this season.

[ploto]

Ric Bucher says Donyell Marshall and Ira Newble to the Sonics for Wally Szczerbiak if the Ben Wallace deal goes down.

Hughes and Wallace means no Lebron in 2010, all the money will be spent

Raptors trying to get Warriors Pietrus for Dixon and Graham
Thursday, Feb 21, 2008 12:12 pm EST

The Toronto Raptors, meanwhile, are working the phones in advance of the trade deadline. There were rumblings Wednesday night that Toronto GM Bryan Colangelo has been talking with his Golden State Warriors counterpart, Chris Mullin, about sending Juan Dixon and Joey Graham to the Bay Area for swingman Mickael Pietrus.

The 6-foot-6 Pietrus certainly won't help the Raptors much in the rebounding department, the club's biggest need, but he is a slasher and a solid defender at the small forward position, and they definitely could use another defender.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

artest to denver is dead. Front Office decided to back Karl on this one coz he was so against it

GK is a moron and i hope he is fired after this season when the Nuggets miss the playoffs

[baseline bum]

I don't get these Cleveland rumors at all. Ben Wallace? Are you freaking kidding me, Ferry?

Toronto Raptor: Pietrus. Yes or No?

Chad Ford: (2:14 PM ET ) No

[kolko]

Gerald Green traded to Houston for Kirk Snyder.

Von Wafer traded to Portland for Taurean Green.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Looks like they may get West/Wilkins for Eddie

[Spurminator]

Who is "they" and who is Eddie?

[loveforthegame]

I assume he means Najera and Denver?

[kolko]

Who is "they" and who is Eddie?
Denver. Najera.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Eddie Najera for Delonte West/Damien Wilkens

not confirmed yet.......i guess picks are involved as well

Not bad, but you don't have an extra body to throw at the Spurs anymore, unless............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................

The Nuggets are done and might be trying to bring someone else in.

[DazedAndConfused]

Good deal for the Nuggs. Their lack of a PG is one of their biggest weaknesses. West has good speed and quickness.

[Thunder Dan]

hearing here on ESPN Radio. Hughes and Gooden for Duhon Wallace and Joe Smith

[MoSpur]

This is a done deal I think...Portland sends Taurean Green to Denver for Von Wafer.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I like the West move alot coz he is a bigger PG that can play some D (more than our other Point Guards) lol

The wilkins move is ok as well but a bit confusing. We need size now coz of losing eddie and maybe nene

[Thunder Dan]

Word on the street here in C-town

Bulls get: Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden

Cavs Get: Delonte West, Ben Wallace, Wally

Sonics Get: Duhon, Ira Newble and Donyell Marshall

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wow thats crazy lol It was said the nuggets got west and wilkins

Good deal for the Cavs.......... West is a good PG for them

[Thunder Dan]

wow thats crazy lol It was said the nuggets got west and wilkins

Good deal for the Cavs.......... West is a good PG for them

except we don't have a power forward now...oh well

[Holt's Cat]

Good. Presti can help send Marshall to SA in a sign and trade in the summer.

[MoSpur]

Ben Wallace will be your PF and BiG Z will be your center

[Holt's Cat]

That Thomas trade keeps looking better and better...

[loveforthegame]

How can it not be known yet?

Dixon Traded, Destination Unknown

February 21, 2008 - 3:43 pm
Toronto Star -

Juan Dixon has been traded by the Toronto Raptors , but he still doesn't know where his final destination will be.

It will be a one-for-one deal with some cash likely involved

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

lol @ the Nuggets

GK pleaded with Stan and they decided not to trade LK. Nene said he will be back in march and AI and Melo said not to trade anyone

what a mess. The FO should run the team not everyone else

[naico]

That Thomas trade keeps looking better and better...

We read it the first time
