Offseason Trade Thread:

According to Hollinger, non guaranteed contracts of Moore and Williams almost certainly involved, which would enable Lee to get market value ($4.2M).

There's another example of unrealized potential in the form of an athletic PF.

Celtics will send E'Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson, Sean Williams and 2nd rd pick in Courtney Lee trade. Those 3 won't play today.

They're still more than likely not winning another championship in the Garnett/Pierce era, but I knew last season that their demise was greatly exaggerated. They've added some quality youth to the roster, with Green (overrated and vastly overpaid; but useful as a seventh man), Sullinger and Lee. Add them to Bass, Bradley and Rondo and like the Spurs, they're suddenly not that old anymore. The only "old guys" in the rotation are Garnett, Pierce and Terry.

At this writing, I've got them fifth most likely to win a championship next season, behind the Heat, Thunder, Spurs and Lakers.

Don't forget about Fab Melo either. Guy may not be all that impressive right now, but he's just what Boston needs when KG is on the bench.

So I heard Rockets are pretty thin at power forward.

So Hollinger still has the Spurs ahead of the Lakers. Would a Bynum/Howard trade change his mind?

You should probably start worrying about things that matter.

Hornets, Suns, Wolves are nearing agreement on a 3-way deal that would send Robin Lopez to the Hornets in a sign-and-trade, sources tell Y!

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Along with Lopez, Suns would send Hakim Warrick to Hornets. Minny would send Wesley Johnson and a 1st round pick to the Suns, sources say.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

At least part of package back to Minny would include Brad Miller (his contract), Jerome Dyson and draft picks, sources say.

For Wolves, deal clears cap space and apparently is a prelude to another potential signing or deal, sources say.

Kirilenko is the target.

[racm]

Good move for Minny. They get a veteran who still has something left in the tank unlike Roy.

[gambit1990]

The Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves have agreed to a multiplayer trade sending 7-foot center Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans, while moving forward Wesley Johnson and a first-round draft pick from Minnesota to Phoenix, a person familiar with the deal said.

Via Official Cleveland Cavaliers announcement
The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired point guard Jeremy Pargo, Memphis’ 2014 second round draft pick and cash considerations from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for guard/forward D.J. Kennedy, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts.

"Our approach remains consistent as we try to bring in young talent, create future opportunity with draft picks as potential assets and maintain flexibility,” said Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant. “Jeremy adds depth to our backcourt. He is a young, aggressive, athletic guard who we feel fits well with our style of play, both defensively and offensively. We look forward to welcoming him to Cleveland."

^ While it's possible that Jeremy Pargo would have been better in Spurs system, it looks like Spurs have made the right move by not signing him last offseason. Pargo has been bad with Memphis and they had to give a 2nd round pick to salary dump him.

Clippers just announced that they've acquired Willie Green from Dealin' Danny Ferry's Atlanta Hawks for draft rights to Sofo Schortsanitis

[TD 21]

a framework of the possible deal includes Howard and Denver forward Al Harrington going to the Lakers, Philadelphia guard Andre Iguodala going to the Nuggets, Los Angeles center Andrew Bynum moving to the 76ers, and Los Angeles forward Pau Gasol and Denver guard Arron Afflalo going to the Magic, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Who knows if this actually goes down. But if it does, I don't care how much of a long shot it may seem, the Spurs would be insane to not put in a serious offer to the Magic for Gasol (who's expected to be re-routed in this scenario). I'd offer Splitter, Jackson, Neal, Blair, Bonner, Joseph and two future 1sts for Gasol, Richardson, Harper and a future 2nd.

If we could get Gasol for this package than yes, do it. Both teams would get, what they need
TBH, I think Gasol will be a Rocket at the end.

Yeah, HOU always like him and have a lot of young players.
