In a trade? Oh brother.

Yep, haha. Seems like they'd trade Felton right now, but the Bulls will most likely want a first round pick.

Sounds like Raptors-Knicks deal was done.....but then Knicks owner vetoed the deal.

Lakers and Grizz should just swap ZBO and Pau

Zach Randolph can, and likely will, become a free agent next summer. He is owed $16.9 million but at age 32 he may want the security of a longer deal even if he takes a little less per year to get it.

Which means if you’re Memphis you may not be able to keep the big man that has been one of the anchors of your two-bigs approach, the one that has taken you to the conference finals twice.

“The fact that I’m not getting the ball in the post affects directly my aggressiveness,” he said. “When I’m not getting the ball where I want to, where I’m most effective, where I can bang guys and utilize my skill, that affects my aggressiveness and overall intensity….

“This year hasn’t been ideal, certain things are not ideal for me, but that’s not going to change any time soon,” he said.

“I can’t lie to him… Our numbers tell us the worst thing we do is post up,” he said.

Felton responded to the trade rumors...

“I laughed at that trade stuff,’’ Felton said at the morning shootaround at TD Garden before the Knicks face the Celtics. “I don’t talk about. I’ve been in the league for nine years. That stuff is going to happen when you have a good season. I have nothing to do with it. I don’t deal with it. That’s why we have general managers.

Felton responded to the trade rumors...

LOL, I saw that quote, and thought it was weird so I looked at the video of the interview and he said "that stuff is going to happen EVEN when you have good season."

You know things are bad when Dolan is the voice of reason. Sounds like he only shut it down because he's afraid of what the media will say vs. actually valuing draft picks and young players, but you take what you can get.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Hell, I'll take that veto any way we can get it. Thank God that trade didn't go through.

He had to have meant that it EVEN happens during a good season....he can't be that delusional, lol

The Knicks' front office is determined to re-enter talks on Lowry, league sources said, but it is unclear how they will try to amend a trade package – or whether they're willing to return the original offer to the table. Without the future first-round pick, there's little chance of the Knicks landing Lowry, sources said.
The Golden State Warriors also have remained involved in talks with Toronto on Lowry, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Dolan became livid over the public disclosure of the deal terms and became aware over some segments of reaction that deemed the package a third straight debacle in dealing with Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri, sources said.
Ujiri, the NBA's Executive of the Year with the Denver Nuggets a year ago, negotiated deals that brought the Knicks Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani in recent years.
How Brooklyn's pursuit of Lowry impacts Dolan will be interesting, because his sensitivity to criticism over his meddling into basketball deals might be only rivaled by his desire to outdo Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov

If Warriors want to get in on the deal though...who do they have to offer?

Would love to get someone Barnes(if we got Barnes coming back,no 1st rounder coming our way would be needed) but doubt Warriors deal him.

I know Toney Douglas has been injured mostly, but he's not a terrible backup is he? Haven't seen him, or recall seeing him.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Well, one of the guys on the Bucks message board that has broken pretty much every move we've made the past few years well before it actually happened completely denied Milwaukee having interest in Asik, so that's good at least. Hopefully it stays that way.

Yeah that's been thrown around for a few weeks now. Might as well make it happen.

He said something similar when he was traded to Sacramento. It's basically code for "stop freaking trading me please".
