This. Its fun, I love reading about potential trades. Every time someone posts a new trade other start to criticize the trade and it end up being an interesting thread where people compare players, stats, other trades, CBA, cap...and so on...more Trade Machine!!
The best is the day before the trade deadline when there is news coming out every 20 minutes. As a hardcore NBA fan; Its just one of the most fun times of the year.
R.C. should be on the phone to either Chicago/Boston offering Blair. They need a legit backup big.
Yep trade deadline and draft night trade rumors are the 2nd best part of the season. Woj makes it even better.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I hope we make at least a minor move, just for the sake of the discussion.
Ace will have so much work on Wednesday/Thursday. Every time he updates a thread I get in immediately.

I still get chills remembering about the rumored RJ for SJax trade and it actually going down.
yeah considering it came right after I posted that rumor of Spurs acquiring Josh Howard, lol. Fun going back every now and then to that thread about the trade for SJAX from start to finish.
so do we
That's a lot of trust to place on a player who has fought with and been suspended by EVERY NBA coach he's had over these very issues.
A report out of Detroit this morning says that the Suns and Mavericks are talking to Atlanta the most.
Ferry is shopping Smith hard, and was in Houston for the weekend. Two teams to watch, according to league executives: Dallas and Phoenix. Phoenix went afterHornets guard Eric Gordon pretty aggressively in free agency last summer, signing him to a maximum offer sheet before the Hornets matched it, and is in need of a high-caliber talent. Dallas is trying to reload on the fly with Dirk Nowitzki slowed by age and injuries.
Trading Smith for Marcin Gortat straight up, which the Suns could do this week under the CBA, would save Atlanta tons of money but cut a big swath through the Suns projected summer cap room. Smith would make up to $9 million in 2013-14 more than Gortat was going to make.

How did this thread make it to 12 pages?
Unemployment rate in America is at an all-time high.
don't worry. Spurs still conjuring up a deal that will land JSmith here for Blair Bonner and Jackson's spare gold tooth
still time to take this thread to 15 pages
If the front office trades for Smith it will be the RJ trade all over again. People will wonder how he lost his athleticism and is only shooting 3's from the corner.
It's not happening so we won't have to worry about it.
Smith's about two years younger than RJ was, but yes, sometime during his next contract, his vertical will drop off a cliff.
The trade deadline as the best day of the season? No way man, first two days of the playoffs and then the conference finals period (when you have ECF one day, WCF the other) are the best parts of the NBA season.
The mass stupidity in this thread astounds me. Let's make up trade proposals centering around Corey Josephs, a first rounder in a weak draft and a bunch of expirings. If I was Danny Ferry, first I'd laugh, then I'd tell R.C. to call back when he's serious. I think Atlanta can do better all the way around and if if the Spurs had the only hat in the ring, and the offer didn't include Splitter or Leonard, Atlanta would just hold onto Smith. The Spurs aren't doing the Hawks any favors and Ferry isn't just going to hand the Spurs their best player.
I don't understand all the surrounding hoopla there is for this guy. Not only would he probably cause an obvious disruption in the team's chemistry, but also he (I assume everyone has forgotten about this) is the only star-caliber player that I have ever seen, on multiple occasions, that could not defend Bonner on his way to the hoop.
Enough of Josh Smith already. Just a Blair-for-a-pick trade will suffice.
If this was football he would be a great pick up for the defense, but unfortunately he has to play offense as well; still not sure how he would fit in the Spurs offensive system.

Im told Monte Ellis's name is coming up in discussions btwn Milwaukee & ATL in potential Josh Smith deal.
Not that I really care much anymore cause he's not going to be a Spur, but it looks like Milwaukee has the best chance of landing him. If so, he'll be a nice 3 month rental for them, before he inevitably leaves in FA.
Spurs could very well be a last minute good option for Hawks a Jackson+Bonner+Joseph+picks isn't a great option but it has the big edge of not committing money for Hawks to marginal players and can be done veryquickly without the assist of a third team.
That's what I was thinking. The Spurs' offer may not be all that good, but if it's the best one on the table, it just might work. The Spurs have the chemistry and record to be comfortable with standing pat, but a massive talent upgrade like that would have to be considered.
Basically, the Hawks are telling Josh Smith and everyone else that they're absolutely not going to max him out. In that case, getting a young player and a pick is better than nothing.
