Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

You know what organizations say means very little right? Thibs was talking about how the Bulls weren't making any moves and weren't looking to make any trades and not eight hours later Deng was out the door.

Also, lol at the Lakers trading for Love right now. With what?

All the Lakers need is Kwame Brown, you know that.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Could the Lakers pull this off? I doubt it. However, they can start with their unprotected 1st this season, and in a 3 or 4 way deal, move Gasol to pick up more assets to go back to Minnesota. Chris Kaman, Jordan Hill and Steve Blake are 10 M more expiring assets that could be moved in order to get more assets to move in a Love deal.

However, The Lakers can't trade a 1st (besides this year's) until 2019 due to the Nash and Howard deals. They don't have a 2nd until 2016. They don't have any valuable international players rights like they did with Marc Gasol.

I think the Timberwolves will wait until the draft and find out what pick every team has and explore their options then. The Lakers pick will only get better if Love joins the team.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Reports are now saying that the Celtics are turning their attention to Gordon Hayward, which boggles my mind as a Celtics fan, when we could just easily sign him when he is a free-agent. My guess is that Brad Stevens wants to reunite with Gordon.

And also the Kings have now made Isaiah Thomas available, and he strained a ligament in his shooting wrist which can affect his trade-stock. Injury is said to be minor.

It's minor. I picked him up in a fantasy trade when they got rid of Vasquez.. He's been playing with it the past few games and doing fine.

Apparently Pau to the suns for Okafor's contract as well as a late first round pick in 2014 is a done deal.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Sanders isn't going anywhere right now, and supposedly people within the Bucks organization have told media heads that have absolutely zero interest in Gordon and that it was all a dumb rumor. Sanders just has far more value to Milwaukee than we would be able to get for him in a trade at this point.



I think Gary Neal and Ridnour are the two most likely to be moved, with an outside chance at Ilyasova and Henson if the price is right. I'd love to move Henson for a SG like McLemore or something. I feel like Henson's value will never be higher than it is right now.

I didn't realize the Gordon to the Bucks was an actual rumor, that was just a trade I completely made up after reading that the Pelicans were shopping him..

I didn't know that with Sanders lack luster season if they would consider moving him, especially if it landed them Asik and Gordon.

Does for Love involve our pick this year? Was hoping we can keep it and idk maybe I'll finally get to see a young guy develop.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Is Turner a good perimeter defender? I haven't watched him play and I feel that's what Miami could use aside from the obvious (rebounding/interior defense).

Hate to see Haslem go but unfortunately his not in the rotation anymore, though it might hurt the team cohesion and energy in the locker room.

I'm really not sure, looking at numbers it doesn't seem that he's bad, but even with advanced stats nearly all defensive numbers are a result of team defense more so than individual performance.. Haven't watched a ton of Sixer games over the past couple seasons, and the ones I have watched I wasn't making it a point to dissect Turner's defense lol.

I don't want to see Haslem gone but he hasn't played I don't think since the last Thunder game. He's pretty much completely out of the rotation at this point.. Anything that's gets rid of James Jones is a plus in my opinion.

Not sure if it was ever a serious rumor, but outside of Haslem being a strong part of that team chemistry and understanding their system and his role I think it would be an easy win for Miami.

He gives them a starter for when Wade is out and another guy who can get to the basket and score. Good rebounder and free throw shooter, but definitely lacks outside shooting.

You still lack a quality big man but maybe they still feel Oden can be that answer for some solid playoff minutes.... With already having Bosh, Birdman, and Oden playing center it wouldn't make much sense to grab a 4th unless one of them is in the trade or Oden is moved to the IR.

If Turner can produce defensively in their system an occasional small ball line-up with Wade, Turner, Bron, and Bosh all on the court together would be tough for defenses to handle.

I guess I can understand not wanting Gordon, though he's a massive upgrade over what y'all landed with Mayo.. But curious to why you wouldn't want Asik.. I can't think of many teams (without star big men) who wouldn't want Asik.. Especially if all your losing is bench players..

If the problem however is losing Sanders I can understand that, I just don't see how someone would just flat out not want Asik. Kinda baffling

How would you feel if the same trade was for Hawes rather than Turner, contracts are nearly identical. And Philly is rumored to be shopping both of them as well as Young.. Trade I saw only mentioned Turner, so maybe Miami has shown interest in him, or maybe it's just crap.

Philly is wanting to get worse while adding picks, not sure if they would be willing to trade Wroten but say the trade was for Hawes and they added Wroten, Miami adds Lewis to make it work salary wise.. Trade becomes: Hawes & Wroten for Haslem, Jones, Lewis, and a 1st. If Lewis is needed to be kept swap for Douglas.. Wroten is a PG/SG anyways no real need for 3 true point guards plus Allen, Wroten, and Wade...Again just brainstorming here, not sure if they are even willing to ship out Wroten.

Edit:
Apparently lots of teams have been making offers for Norris Cole and the Heat have been shutting them all down: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap...se-To-Deal-Him

Also per Ira Winderman, the Heat are less likely to make a move by the deadline and rather look towards the March 1st waiver deadline. Winderman speculates that the Heat will look at potential buyout candidates in Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Caron Butler and Chris Kaman..

Butler and Gordon makes sense, but not so much since they already have Allen playing Gordon's role, and Battier/Lewis/Beasley in Butler's role... I personally would rather see a Kaman buyout, along with MAYBE the Turner trade... Losing Haslem is a blow, but he would likely reject the player option and return to Miami next season if the trade would go through.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Just saw a Detroit writer propose this trade... Basically give up completely on the Smith experiment and move Josh Smith and Rodney Stuckey to Utah for the expiring Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins..

Stuckey has an expiring contract as well should Utah not want to hold on to him, but a line-up of Burke, Stuckey, Hayward, Smith, Favors and a bench with Burks, Williams, Kanter would be fairly solid.. If they lose Hayward in the off season adding Smith leaves them with some stability.

Most trade rumors with Detroit usually involve Monroe being moved, thought this was an interesting alternative and Detroit builds around the two young guys rather than Smith.

Bulls signed Jarvis Varnado to a 10 day contract for their 13th roster spot. Pleasant surprise, I like Varnado's game and think he's a much needed upgrade over Nazr.
