Re: 30 teams controlled - NEW Era in Phoenix Suns.

Feb 18,
Increased activity among managers because only 3 days left until the Trade deadline.

Night After All-Star Weekend, several players had signed new contracts inter alia:
Tristan Thompson signed $14.26 million for 3 years with the Cavaliers.
Udonis Haslem re-signed $3.15 million for 2 years (the 2nd year - team option) with the Heat.
The Thunder re-signed Reggie Jackson to $13.32 million for 4 years.
The Heat re-signed Norris Cole to $8.68 million for 3 years.
The Kings signed Emeka Okafor to $8.18 million for 2 years.
The Clippers signed Kris Humphries (Celtics - waived him) to 1yr|$490k deal.

Some gossip
Phoenix is looking to trade Andrei Kirilenko, he is in the last year of his contract ($10.22M) and maybe Phoenix find a buyer for him. Same is with L. Ridnour ($4.32M), His playing time is limited to 8 minutes per game but his experience helps a young playmaker Kendall Marshall to be a better point guard. What GM do?
Very intensive talks between three teams Lakers, Raptors, Knicks about exchanged P. Gasol - R. Gay - C. Anthony and a few other players.
The Celtics looking to trade G. Wallace, he has heavy contract 3 years worth 30.32M.
They will want to get rid of Wallace as they have until three choices in the first round of this year's draft picks. GM of Celtics has talk with other managers about on the future of G. Wallace. Interested him are: Wizards, Grizzlies, Pistons and Suns.
At Detroit, Rodney Stuckey and/or Brandon Knight will must go away because Pistons looking for point guard who will play first pass than scorer. They have a very good defender A. Igoudala also they have Twin Tower A. Drummond and G. Monroe.

Re: 30 teams controlled - NEW Era in Phoenix Suns.

IMO, the Pacers got a steal for Rondo.

Do you use 30-team control?
