Why would the suns want another PG tho?
nailed it.It goes without saying that Woj, Sam Amick, Marc Stein and Ken Berger belong on the Mt. Rushmore of the NBA trade deadline.
LinkSources: T'wolves, Grizzlies discuss deal that includes Chase Budinger and Tayshaun Prince
The Memphis Grizzlies are discussing a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves centered on forward Chase Budinger and guard J.J. Barea, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Memphis wants to include forward Tayshaun Prince into the package and the deal could be expanded to include guard Tony Allen, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Components of a proposed deal are still fluid.
Memphis has been furiously trying to unload Prince and the remaining $7.2 million (2013-'14) and $7.7 million (2014-'15) on his contract, league sources said.
Minnesota general manager Flip Saunders is believed to want to add defensive toughness to his roster, and that would make Allen a natural to fill the Wolves' void.
Budinger, 25, missed much of the early season recovering from knee surgery, and has averaged six points in 17.7 minutes per game this season.
Barea, 29, is averaging 8.7 points in 18 minutes per game this season.
With how well Lil Zeke is playing how could you even set yourself up to get fleeced like that with him playing for pennies?Thank ******* God that Rondo didn't allow the Celtics to get Ben + 2 more draft picks at their disposal.
Kinda wondering if we're going to see any real activity. No one wants to give up picks this year, and everyone tryin to stay under the cap, so this could be one boring *** deadline.

add in a pick to the lakers and I'd be completely happy as a Charlotte fan
SMFH all over not wanting to swap 2nd rounders? Would fill needs for us. Hopefully Cho revisits this.~~The Milwaukee Bucks have been looking to deal guard Gary Neal for a few weeks, even though they just signed him to a deal this offseason for two-year, $6.5 million. After having reported a run-in with center Larry Sanders, in which he told Sanders to start earning his money, Neal's name immediately popped up in rumors and reports to be moved. He almost had his wish of getting on a playoff team.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Charlotte Bobcats recently had talks that gained traction to acquire Neal and teammate Caron Butler. However, those talks have crumbled the past few days and it looks like a trade won't happen as of right now. With the trade deadline on Thursday, the Bucks won't have many more opportunities to move Neal or Butler's expiring contract.
The Bobcats have shooting guard Ben Gordon to offer up to make a trade easy to complete, but Gordon's expiring deal means the Bucks would only be saving a little bit of money for next season while paying more this season if the deal goes through. It's possible an exchange of draft picks (likely second rounders) would be the reason any deal might fall apart.

The Rockets have renewed efforts to trade disgruntled center Omer Asik, with the Philadelphia 76ers emerging once again as a potential landing spot, league sources told CBSSports.com on Tuesday.
The two teams engaged in serious discussions on an Asik deal in December, when the Rockets were trying to move the defensive-minded center so they could aggregate any players acquired for use in future deals. With that possibility long gone, Houston GM Daryl Morey has re-opened trade talks, and the Sixers have more payroll flexibility than any team in the league to make a deal work.
The Sixers are $11 million under the salary cap, meaning they can absorb Asik's $8.4 million salary without sending back any players. They also have to add $5.1 million to their payroll to meet the league's salary floor of $52.8 million.
According to executives who've engaged in conversations with Houston about Asik, Morey is still setting the price high for the Turkish 7-footer, who was lured away from the Bulls as a restricted free agent in 2012. The structure of the offer sheet Asik signed, which calls for him to be paid $15 million next season, has been problematic. Though his cap hit would be only $8.4 million in 2014-15, any team acquiring Asik before Thursday's deadline would face an expenditure of $17 million for him to play a little more than 100 games -- a tough sell for any owner under the restrictive CBA.
Due to that expense, teams like the Raptors and Nets have no interest in acquiring Asik, sources say. The Hawks like him, but not at the Rockets' current asking price. The problem in assembling a deal with the Sixers is the same problem the teams experienced in December, only worse because more of Asik's total compensation over the next two years is in the rear-view mirror.
The Rockets want a first-round pick for Asik, sources say. The Sixers have New Orleans' 2014 pick (1-5 protected), but are looking to use their cap space to acquire first-round picks -- not divest them. Philadelphia's floor-spacing Spencer Hawes interests the Rockets, but the Sixers have been asking teams for a first-round pick in return.
