OFFICIAL NBA TRADE DEADLINE THREAD UPDATE:SHAQ TO CAVS? McCANTS TO SAC/CHANDLER RETURNED TO SENDER

[franchise3]

You can trade injured players, I think.

The only reason why the Clips do it is to get out of BDiddy's contract, which runs another 4 years.

Basically cleaning their hands from that 5 year $65M deal they gave him in the offseason.

^ tmacs contract > barons contract

tmac comes off the books in 2010. while, baron is in his first yr of that deal
i know clips arent going anywhere, but are they willing to take tmac just so they can get rid of baron? lesser of two evils?

 

[franchise3]

Word, it'll be purely financial for the Clippers.

Same reason why they wanted to trade BDiddy for Kidd. Since, Kidd's numbers comes off the books after this year.

With T-Mac, it'll come off in '10, making them a viable player come '10.

That's $23M off the books right there just by letting T-Mac walk.

 

[darthska]

I just saw on ESPN's ticker, the Cavs are looking at who? Jamison, Caron, Camby, or... some other 4th person?

I'd say the Butler would be a problem for the rest of the league. I love that dude.

mannn i didnt now they gave him THAT longterm.

Clippers FTL

and they got Z Bo... Clips are soooo the new Knicks, or just the Clippers, Knicks have just really overshadowed them the past 5 years

 

[franchise3]

Yeah man. Look at that payroll for the Clips frontcourt. It's wild. Kaman, ZBo, Camby. And yeah, Diddy's contract sucks, which is the only reasonI'm kinda leery about the Rockets potentially adding him. But then again, get while you can for damaged goods, ie, T-Mac.

And ska, Caron is a beast no doubt. I wish somehow the Rockets could land him. Give up T-Mac or something. Then you may have to think about rooting for theRockets. Your boys Artest and Butler on the same team? Definite problem.

 

[getimmaaw]

My boy showed me this.. Im glad if its true. After that embarrassing performance from Mihm last night.

[aztec06jr]

Yeah Mihm to grizzlies...supposedly to save money ala Cassell to Kings, but I wouldn't be surprised if this means Kupchak has something else planned....ormaybe Bynum is coming back earlier than expected?

 

[franchise3]

Good find.

Maybe it was because of the fight in practice, they shipped him away?

 

[mw2889]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


No more Michael Ruffin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[franchise3]

 

[kiddin like jason]

$2.5 million coming off this season and cash considerations for a second round pick in four years? Steal.

Maybe it was because of the fight in practice, they shipped him away?
Maybe if it was Kobe he went at.

DJ Mbenga? I'd have to doubt that.

 

[eagle 0n]

Damn.. how is Ike Diogu still in the league?

 

[the gr8]

was there another trade?

 

[franchise3]

Chris Mihm for a 2nd rd pick or something. Check a page back.

And yeah, Ike Diogu for Ruffin earlier today.

 

[rocksfan25]

As long as getting rid of Alston (and hopefully McGrady) is involved in a Baron Davis (or Camby) deal then I'm all for it. They better not get rid ofBattier, Artest, or Scola in a deal like that either.

 

[franchise3]

Tou'che KLJ

 

[bangdak]

i rather take davis then tmac. unless insurance is willingly to pay part of his contract, i wouldnt do it.

One NBA team executive told Alan Hahn of Newsday that David Lee is "off the market" and another person with knowledge of the situation echoed the sentiment that Lee will not be traded before Thursday's deadline.

you can think of it in a good way, teams want you cuz you're a good rebounder.

 

[rudolph1996]

FERRY-..... GET CAMBY!!!

 

[Bonafide]

Rockets will try to land baron Davis.

 

[kiddin like jason]

The Knicks and Bulls are discussing a trade for Larry Hughes with the Knicks offering Malik Rose's expiring contract. Another player, perhaps Jerome James, would have to be sent to Chicago to make the deal work. Hughes' contract runs through the 2009-2010 season.

Nate Robinson might be included in the deal and David Lee's name has been mentioned as well. Lee's inclusion would mean Tyrus Thomas or Joakim Noah, whose game Donnie Walsh likes, would be sent to New York.
