David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Source says Bucks, Pacers, Spurs, 76ers trying hardest on JJ Re .

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Milwaukee, Phoenix emerging as frontrunners for Josh Smith deal, league sources tell Y! Sports. Boston still a "darkhorse," one source says.

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo
Pacers, Spurs, Pistons, Bucks and Sixers all interested in Magic's JJ Re , a source said. Even so, Magic could still keep sharpshooter.

[jiggy_55]

So multiple reliable sources (Aldridge and Spears) have confirmed Spurs interest in JJ Re . Interesting.

I know the Mavs want a pg but Beno??

With Fab Melo as the bait, Celtics looking to add perimeter scoring. Wizards' Jordan Crawford available @ on their radar

He is overpaid..

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Spurs interested on J.J. Re , but Magic can do better than San Antonio's late first-round pick in 2013.

Is that all we can offer?

Indiana or Milwaukee will end up with Red , if he's even moved at all.

What do they want for a rental?

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA While Chicago's trying hard to move Rip Hamilton to lower payroll, Bulls aren't inclined to include draft pick to sweeten deal, sources say.

If the Spurs are persuing hard on Re , I wonder if they have a deal lined up that would offload a combination of Blair and Green or Neal (I'd think Neal out of those two would be the one to go.)

Perhaps all three. Re is making $6.2 Million this season, so the Spurs need to find $5.7 Million in salary to send out. I can't imagine they'd be willing to go into the tax for Re , but then again, I'm horrified that they are even rumored to be interested.

all three make sense contract wise

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO
Spurs start low in offers for Magic's JJ Re , could throw in player w/offer of first-round pick as NBA trade deadline nears.

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO
If Spurs' bid for Re fails, may settle by making bid for Cavs' Daniel Gibson at last minute, source says. Would offer 2nd-rd pick.

[moisaenz]

I dont think the spurs would be willing to lose two of their three point specialists for re

[will_spurs]

if the spurs pick up casspi Lefty will stop being a spurs fan.

You're talking about this side effect as if it wasn't a clear positive...

[dougp]

I just simply don't see Green and Neal both leaving considering the Spurs have never utilized Mills as an actual SG. Re isn't a "huge" upgrade over Green, and he wouldn't start. Just because those 3 match up, doesn't mean Orlando would take them - or want them. Spurs are probably last in Orlando's acceptance pile unless they can offload a bad contract as well.

[moisaenz]

but aren't the magic trying to free up cap space.. why would they take green's contract?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Isn't Gibson's last year only partially guaranteed? Supposedly they could cut him to go under the tax in the case that another trade puts them above it.

[said7]

Re is crap. Horrible defender. I wouldn't give up Green for him. Maybe Blair and Neal, but thats about it.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Miami has expressed interest with Denver center Timofey Mozgov, sources tell Y!, but hard to see a path to a deal there.

[Mel_13]

I really believe that most of these bloggers are just making stuff up. If it doesn't happen, nobody notices. If it does, they can claim inside sources for the next round of BS they spew out.

Boobie Gibson? Please...
