[Fez Hammersticks]

Well, not really 'chatter' but a move will happen relatively soon:

Something will go down tomorrow or Tuesday but I'm sworn to secrecy. Argh!

The Thunder have agreed to trade their 21st and 26th overall picks plus the rights to Nick Collison and Serge Ibaka for the 3rd overall pick and Brook Lopez from New Jersey

 

[RoyToy]

You're kidding I hope.

 

[ABM]

You're kidding I hope.

It's now being reported from multiple sources.

 

[Minstrel]

You're kidding I hope.

They had to do something to respond to Portland trading Rudy and JPEC for LeBron James and the #1 overall pick, in a seven-team deal.

James will make a great backup small forward to Batum.

 

[Nikolokolus]

You're kidding I hope.

Deadly serious ... serious ... deadly

 

[STOMP]

oops

 

[ehizzy3]

wait is that trade true?

 

[Minstrel]

wait is that trade true?

Nik reported the rumour and I, due to having read his post, can now confirm having heard that rumour. So it is now reported and confirmed by two sources.

Minstrel is Dwight Jaynes!!

wait, if they can trade the 21 and 26 for 3 AND Lopez, Why can't we trade 22 and Rudy (and cash!)? If kpee doesn't pull the trigger, he should be fired.

Everyone hates KP and don't want to play with him.

 

[Driew]

Everyone hates KP and don't want to play with him.

Yep, and maybe that's why the Vulcan Inc. want a new GM

 

[cdub503]

still confused is that trade for real or what?

 

[THE HCP]

Not true douchebags!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Not true douchebags!

Shhh ... stop trying to use your mind tricks to keep people from the truth. This rumor is very much real: I wrote it, it exists. Ipso facto.

 

[Denny Crane]

Ipso facto flunko

 

[hasoos]

Deal coming soon!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

No trades can be announced until the finals are over.

 

[THE HCP]

I would trade DennyCrane for an S2 t-shirt and a pack of used rubbers!

 

[hasoos]

What? Are you having a hard time producing used rubbers these days?

 

[Denny Crane]

You think BB keeps his used rubbers?

According to this article, the Wolves have committed to Wesley Johnson at #4 and so that would mean Cousins sliding to #5/Sacramento.

[Charcoal Filtered]

It is Wednesday and still no deal.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Deadly serious ... serious ... deadly

We're going to hold you to it. You;re forever reputation (such as it is) is on the line.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would have settled for even something as insignificant as the Evans/Kopono trade that happened during last years finals. The offseason cannot get here fast enough for me.

The Detroit Pistons would like to draft Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins and they are trying to move up in the draft via a trade to make that happen, the Detroit Free Press reports.

The team has the No. 7 pick. There was some thought that Cousins will still be available at that point "based on questions of character and work ethic, but that's unlikely considering the needs of the teams ahead of the Pistons," the paper says.

The Sacramento Kings have the No. 5 pick and Cousins impressed them with a workout this weekend.

Interesting. The Pistons definitly could use the toughness. I don't know what they were thinking when they signed Charlie V to the big contract. That is one move I will never burn the brain power to try and rationalize.

Ooooh! Scary stuff!
