Jimmy Smith ‏@JimmySmithtp
League source says #Hornets acquiring SF Ryan Anderson from #Magic in sign and trade for Gustavo Ayon.

The point is, this is how to do it. When a team makes your player an offer, talk the team into giving you something for the player. You lose a dissatisfied player (Batum), plus his new overpaid salary, and get back something helpful.

@chadfordinsider Clippers will be 4th team in D Howard deal. They would take back MarShon Brooks in return for a lottery protected 1st.

Drummond just airball'd two FT's in a row.

Talk about breaking some news

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Knicks land Camby (3-year $12m) in a S&T with the Rockets.

Houston lands a bunch of fodder.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

3 years?!

Ben Golliver ‏@blazersedge
If Marcus Camby gets paid 3rd year on deal with Knicks, his NBA career earnings will surpass 132 million, according to Basketball-Reference

Well, let's be fair. So did New York.

Not so far fetched RT @fivethirtyeight: Sources: Magic accidentally deal Dwight Howard to themselves in 26-team trade.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jarrett Jack headed to the Warriors in a salary dump -- rights to an obscure Euro headed to the Big Easy.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Shaun Powell: Brooklyn could have Dwight right now if Nets didn't deal an unprotected No. 1 to Portland for Gerald Wallace. That pick, plus a few others and throw-ins would've gotten deal done.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress
Indiana will acquire Ian Mahinmi (4-years, 16 million) in a sign and trade with Dallas. Darren Collison and Danhtay Jones go to Dallas.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Shopping Collison for a lotto pick was downright insulting.

This sounds about right.

 

[MickZagger]

I don't get how Mahinmi still has a job. Worth 16 mil at that? WTF?

 

[MickZagger]

Will Dallas even make the playoffs next year?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't get how Mahinmi still has a job. Worth 16 mil at that? WTF?

KP pritchslapped himself.

Plumlee/Mahinmi

Yeesh...

Yeesh...

Don't forget his boy Pendergraph.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Really? I think he is a decent backup.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Pendergraph pisses me right off.

Career: 2 PPG | 2 RPG

And that helped him pay for a freaking GTR:

His actual R35.

 

[MickZagger]

^ poppycock!

He should look for treatment on that bachne before he worries about sweet cars.

Isn't it surprising that Toronto got Lowry so cheap? And what is Houston doing; they now have lost Dragic and Lowry; who is playing PG for them?

 

[Duckhook]

Blake Griffin goes down with knee injury at Team USA practice. Headed back to LA...

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Blake Griffin hurt his knee in a Team USA scrimmage Wednesday and is returning to LA to be examined by team doctors, sources tell Y! Sports.

 

[Blazinaway]

Isn't it surprising that Toronto got Lowry so cheap? And what is Houston doing; they now have lost Dragic and Lowry; who is playing PG for them?

That's incredibly stupin what HOU did, Lowry was makin 6 ild per for next 2 yrs and Dragic signed for 7.5 mil per i think? Who the hell are they going to get who is as good or as cheap - Ray felton? LOL

But then Sam tweeted:
You guys are cracking me up. As one follower said, Howard deal has been "imminent for an entire week." Honestly, sounds exploratory to me.

Jordan Schultz ‏@206Child
A source close to Dwight Howard tells me that Dwight is fully prepared to sit out the entire 2012-13 season in Orlando.>>>>>>>>>>

Dwight needs to grow the hell up and start acting like a professional.

These NBA egomaniacs are the biggest babies in pro-sports.
