Buyers, sellers, untouchables and more trade buzz as deadline looms


"Teams are targeting the availability of Brooklyn's DeMarre Carroll, Utah's Alec Burks, Orlando's Evan Fournier and Atlanta's Kent Bazemore, among others."

"The Los Angeles Lakers, needing to shed salary for summer free agency, had been hopeful of waiting until the end of the season to move Jordan Clarkson -- owed $26 million beyond this season -- but there's a mutual desire to find something sooner than later. The Lakers have made it clear that Clarkson, Julius Randle and Larry Nance are available.

Los Angeles has given up hope on unloading Luol Deng's contract in a trade because it would simply necessitate attaching too many draft assets."

"Atlanta is pushing to unload veterans and gather more draft picks and young players. Bazemore, Ersan Ilyasova and Marco Belinelli are expendable.


The Bulls are still planning to trade forward Nikola Mirotic, which can't happen until Jan. 15 or without his permission, based on his contract. Mirotic has been intrigued with the Utah Jazz, whose coach, Quin Snyder, has a reputation for maximizing offensive talent.


Memphis wants to find a first-round pick for Tyreke Evans, but that is likely to prove difficult. The Grizzlies have missed in several drafts on first-rounders, including the waiving of 2015 No. 17 pick Wade Baldwin, and need to replenish their stock of picks. As a rental on an expiring deal, it is hard to imagine Evans delivering that kind of a return."

Anderson For Larry Nance Jr works for me..

Tyreke would be amazing, I would also like Randle

[NASpurs]

[TimDunkem]

Tyreke would need to take Manu's role and Pop ain't having that .

[Dex]

WHAT THE . Kawhi is out again???

This is a ing joke at this point. ING MAN UP. Don't be a ing pussy.

If this is not Kawhi insisting on sitting all the time, and it's 100% Pop that is going it, he needs to tell him either play me or trade me. Unfortunately, it seems to me like Kawhi is the soft one.

Or, you know...there is a legitimate injury concern?

Bring back Beli.

I don't care if he is a traffic cone on defense and we already have too many guards. Ferrari will always have a place in my heart for 2014.

Lol.

[Spurs da champs]

Ibaka backed down pretty quick.

[spurs10]

Looked like Johnson punched him in the face.

[Budkin]

He took Captain Jack’s advice on serg Abaka and went into his mouth.

[Chinook]

Ibaka tried that fake tough guy one too many times. Hope LMA knows about this.

[YGWHI]

Yikes.

Almost.

111-110.

For the record, this was the first time in the season the Spurs lost a game that I said they would win.

But for Spurs sake I'll sacrifice my clairvoyance gift just for a while...

[YGWHI]

So Russ isn't available for media when the Thunder loses? Good to know.

If not a player, the Spurs could sign him to cover the team. He already writes better about basketball than SAEN beat writer.

I dont know much about euro players but I really enjoyed reading his article.

The best part is about Manu.

[NASpurs]

Ibaka backed down pretty quick.

I read that Johnson is a 2nd degree black belt, has an undefeated MMA record and is 20-0 in kickboxing. He also comes from a long line of family members involved in martial arts. Ibaka probably remembered not to with him.

Thanks for posting that.

Curry re-sprained his ankle

Ibaka backed down pretty quick.

James Johnson is also an MMA fighter, no bs. Not a person for A-baka to try to his take tough guy stuff on.

[daslicer]

Lou Williams dropped 50 points against the Warriors.
