The Nuggets believe strongly in Ty Lawson as their point guard, and Felton, with a $7.5 million expiring contract, is expendable. …Houston continues to offer the 14th and 23rd picks in the draft to move into the top 10, and could have a willing partner with the Detroit Pistons at No. 8. The Pistons have told teams they won’t trade down until they see who drops to them on draft night, sources said. In what could be an interesting window into the Pistons’ preferences, San Diego State forward Kawhi Leonard worked out for Detroit on Monday, and shortly thereafter cancelled his Wednesday workout with the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the 10th pick. Several executives believe Leonard may have left Auburn Hills with a guarantee. …Perhaps no player is rising faster than Georgia Tech’s Iman Shumpert, who is suddenly on the Phoenix Suns’ short list at No. 13. The Nets have had a strong interest in him, and he could be the player they’re trying to move up from No. 27 to get. …The Suns have been willing to take back a so-so contract for Vince Carter, if it included a first-round pick in the 2012 draft, league sources said. This hasn’t happened, and as the Arizona Republic’s Paul Coro reported, the Suns will buy out the final $18 million season on Carter’s contract for $4 million. …The Utah Jazz are under immense public pressure to draft Jimmer Fredette at No. 12, but league sources said the front office remains focused on Florida State’s Chris Singleton, perhaps the best pure defender in the draft. Several teams believe Singleton could go at No. 9 to the Charlotte Bobcats. As for the Bobcats, one Eastern Conference executive said: “The whole team is available.

The Shumpert rise confuses me because the only reason it's happening is because he's a "point guard." But he isn't. And he can't shoot. He's a small forward now.

The Suns have been willing to take back a so-so contract for Vince Carter, if it included a first-round pick in the 2012 draft, league sources said. This hasn’t happened, and as the Arizona Republic’s Paul Coro reported, the Suns will buy out the final $18 million season on Carter’s contract for $4 million



Why would Vince Carter accept this or is there a clause in his contract that states he can bought out for that #?

J Smoove might be on the go. He prefers Boston, Houston, NJ or Orl.

Pacers offer the 15th pick and Hibbert for Twolves 2nd pick. Dont think thats a good move

I get the feeling by the time they are on the clock Thursday the Wolves are going to be looking at some serious offers they are going to have to think twice about

He has a clause.

Chauncey Billups had the same one but the Knicks decided not to buy him out.

You don't think Granger & Dwill can play well together? IMO this trade will finally give the Pacers another guy with a high ceiling.
