Wesley Matthews/Gerald Wallace to Philly for Evan Turner/Nocioni/1st
I like the boldness. Scary as hell though because Nocioni sucks ass, and Turner has not lived up to his hype. If he ever does though, this is a steal for the Blazers
Turner is a ball dominant all-around player. The Sixers are playing him as a glue guy (WTF). He needs a change in scenery. I think Nate would love him actually, size, passing ability, unselfish. He'd try to play him like Roy I would think.
I don't want Nate anywhere near him, but agree with the rest of it
Not sure the Sixers would go for that package, but maybe?
Wesley Matthews/Gerald Wallace to Philly for Evan Turner/Nocioni/1st
Well because rumor has it management laughed at the idea of Rondo being on the block.
3. The do run Rondo: Our friend Brian Berger, on his radio show on KXTG yesterday, spent a remarkable amount of time and energy talking up the Blazers making a trade for Boston point guard Rajon Rondo.
With the March 15 trade deadline, such conversations will be going hot and heavy not just here in Portland, but all over the NBA.
So what about Rondo? There's a lot of stuff coming out of Boston about him, and it's hard to tell what's smoke and what's fire.
Celtics president Danny Ainge scoffed at reports about Rondo, telling the Boston Herald's Mark Murphy, "I anticipate him being here for a long time." Ainge also denied reports that Rondo and coach Doc Rivers have a deteriorating relationship beyond just normal player-coach stuff.
But a "source" tells Murphy that the Celtics are "desperate" to trade Rondo as he is the only asset they have. The source also calls Rondo a "moody" guy who has trouble fitting in and has "irreconcilable differences" with the team, and diminished trade value.
Cough! Cough! Sorry, the smoke it just so thick in here.
Wesley Matthews/Gerald Wallace to Philly for Evan Turner/Nocioni/1st
I approve. I don't think the Sixers do it just to offload Nocioni, though. They're more likely to want to unload Iguodala and his big contract than they are to pick up ANOTHER older guy who's about to break down. If we threw in Camby and took back Brand, they might be more tempted though.
But Iggy just made the All-Star team..... I doubt they move him. Brand would probably be more attractive for them to move with his huge ass contract.

Am guessing he'll be an amnesty candidate in the offseason, IF they can find something to us the cap space on.
Possibly... won't he only have one year left after this season? One year at 17 or 18 million though.
Okay here is a crazy idea and I'm sure many would laugh this off. Oh well here it goes....
Three Team: Boston, PDX and NJ
Boston trades: Paul Pierce and Rondo. They receive: NJ's 1st rounder (protected), D. Williams, and Gerlad Wallace.
Portland trades: G. Wall, Camby, Matthews, and Nic Batum. They receive: Paul Pierce and Rondo.
NJ Trades: Their protected 1st rounder and D. Williams. They receive: Camby, Matthews and Batum.
Then after this deal, I would do the Felton for Blake straight up deal with the Lakers. Then I would sign Patty Mills, since there is a free roster spot open.

That's actually not bad, but I think NJ would want Rondo in that deal. I don't know if Matthews and Batum is enough to make them happy.

I would assume NJ would want Rondo. And I'd probably do the NJ side of the deal, and cut Boston out. NJ's first, protected, and Deron for Camby, Batum and Wes? Sure. I try to talk Deron into taking his 2013 option, and maxing out the following year with us. We'd stil have a good amount of cap space, and we'd have Aldridge and Deron, to try to entice free agents with.
NJ would never do that deal.
It's weird that Matthews would give them more wins in Trade Machine. But I like that deal as well.

I'm just thinking that they would rather have the cap space and a young prospect in Williams than the bigger contract in Matthews. Still, I'm thinking NJ would rather have Rondo....![]()
