Re: Chris Broussards Sources tell me Trade Rumors and Discussion Thread

I genuinely like Nene a lot as well. I agree with your stance, I wouldn't do that deal from Washington's perspective either, was just curious for another opinion because it seems like the beginning of this year Nene's deal was considered an albatross.

However I would not say he's untouchable. 30 year old players with 30million dollar deals on fringe playoff teams aren't untouchable.

Atlanta doesn't really have anything aside from Smith to however, and there's no way Washington can get them to bite on a deal with Okafor I'm guessing, so I suppose it was a shortsighted suggestion. Smith + Wall sounds like a dynamite transition combination, but a terrible halfcourt one as well.

For me, and for this trade deadline, Nene is untouchable. This team is moving in the right direction. Nene brings legitimacy to the low post on the Wizards for the first time ever (they were the Bullets the last time they had a legit low post threat) while also bringing a great attitude as well for such a young team... something else they haven't had in some time. Butler and Jamison were great in that regard, but Arenas cancelled them out. This team isn't going anywhere this year... with Nene on the team, I think they're better prepared for next year (whether he gets traded before next year's deadline or not).

Untouchable, of course, is based on what they might be offered but it would take a lot imo. Not someone who can bolt next year. Not someone with a suspect attitude. Not someone young and nothing but potential. They can ship off Okafor though.

I remember watching "Hard Knocks" last year and seeing Vontae Davis' reaction when he found out that he was being traded to Indianapolis and he had this blank expression on his face and the first thing he said was "I wanna call my Grandma".

I wonder if NBA players have that same reaction when they get traded to some of these small markets LOL.

From Woj:

For now, the Los Angeles Clippers have terminated talks with the Boston Celtics on a Kevin Garnett for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan trade, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Celtics have been eager to continue the conversation on the deal, but league sources said the talks will remain dormant unless Clippers star Chris Paul pushes the issue with management.
Several prominent executives and coaches with championship contenders told Yahoo! Sports they believe the Clippers would become more dangerous with Garnett.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro is a proponent of the deal, too, sources said.
The Celtics won't consider moving Garnett to the Clippers for any other combination of players, and won't revisit the talks unless Bledsoe and Jordan are in the package, sources said.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were turned down on an offer of Brandon Roy and a first-round pick to Denver for center Timofey Mozgov, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Denver is combing the market further for offers on Mozgov. He will be a restricted free agent this summer, and the emergence of Kosta Koufos could make it hard for Denver to match an offer sheet for Mozgov.
The Timberwolves are trying to include Roy's contract into offers, selling the non-guaranteed value of his 2013-14 year as an appealing factor. Roy is rehabilitating his knees, and neither the Wolves, nor Roy, truly expect he'll be able to play again in the NBA, sources said.
Timberwolves GM David Kahn has been interested in negotiating a buyout with Roy, presumably as a way to show owner Glen Taylor he can get some money back on a failed free-agent signing.
A buyout could possibly come after the trade deadline, if Minnesota is unable to use Roy's contract to balance out the money of a trade.

Teams who'd consider including Roy in a deal understand that he's unlikely to ever play again, sources said.
Minnesota has offered multiple first-round picks for established wing players in the league, sources said.

KG is my favorite player, but why do the clippers want him?

Defense, championship experience, good friends with Chauncey.

If I'm the Clippers I don't do it, but if I'm the Celtics I'm damn near begging KG to waive that no-trade.

Well the thread is named after Chris Broussard...it's the only proper way to pay homage to the man.
