Trade Deadline Deals and Rumors

[Hoops Czar]

Yeah, the trade for Houston is bad news for the Spurs.... Lot of know-it-alls in here.

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS In Minnesota, J.J. Barea is indeed available, as are Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams, sources say.

Either Barea or Ridnour would be good additions to this Spurs team, both would be better backup point guards than we have currently

That rule is pretty easy to get around in two ways:

1 -- if the trade has not be officially accepted, then the Rockets can negotiated with the Hawks and just include them as a fourth team.

2 (more interesting) -- The Rockets could do a trade like Robinson and filler for Smith and Petro. Robinson for Petro would actually be a separate deal, but it would only happen because of the larger context. This type of split trade violates no rule, and it's used often.

2 is much more likely than one.

backup point trade talk is gross. nando, mills, cojo, neal.

For sure, although neither is that likely.

The Re /M'bah A Moute trade is apparently dead. Orlando doesn't want Luc and the Magic want a first rounder, which MIL doesn't want to give. Hmmm.

Milwaukee gets Re
SA gets M'bah a Moute
ORL gets Blair/Bonner and our first round pick

[freetiago]

Barea and Ridnour are both garbage
Barea is basically a Mills with better ballhandling/penetration

Neal and Ridnour are basically the same player
Neal has the clutch gene though and hes not white
the Matt Bonner effect wont take place

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine Word is Knicks will be at front of line to try to sign Jermaine O'Neal if Phoenix consents to buy JO out to make room for Marcus Morris

[ace3g]

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO Source: Nets have secured Kris Humphries-for-Ben Gordon trade with Bobcats, but waiting to see what happens with Hawks' Josh Smith first.

I seriously doubt the Magic want Blair or Bonner tbh.. and they probably want a high 1st for him, not ours.

yeah i know.... hoopsworld

[eDizzle20]

Hopefully the Spurs stay put outside of trading Blair. I would love to see the Spurs go after O'Neal after the buyout is complete.

"Casspi might become an extremely valuable player for the Spurs becauseGregg Popovich sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the ability to resurrect seemingly dead careers."

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt Among those mentioned in possible trades, told definitively that Danny Granger not going anywhere, and DeJuan Blair likely to stay put, too.

I find it hard to believe that the Spurs can't get SOMETHING in return for him.. pretty disappointing tbh.

[ace3g]

I just wish after the deadline one of Bonner or Blair is gone.

[racm]

Can't always have trade deadlines as great as last year's was.

[ace3g]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA The Brooklyn Nets are no longer considering a deal for Charlotte's Ben Gordon, league source tells Y! Sports.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Typical Spurs. Out of all the interest expressed in Blair, the Spurs will stand pat. I didn't care what we would have got for him, I just wanted him gone, to make room for some decent Baynes minutes.

[Mugen]

Meh, i would have taken a late 2nd rounder for DeJuan when he looked absolutely done earlier in the year. He's shown a lot more athleticism the last month so I'm fine with just letting him walk at the end of the season.

Like timvp and others have alluded to, he's a pretty decent emergency backup in case of an injury. Baynes hasn't gotten the opportunity to do anything and likely won't until next season.

Considering the Spurs have great team chemistry and their continuity is something other top teams don't have, I think staying put is the right move.

So you're saying there's still a chance?
