Dwight Howard has officially signed waiver on ETO, according to @Chris_Broussard.

Let the insanity begin!

Goodbye G-Dub:

ChrisBHaynes: RT “@WojYahooNBA: Portland and New Jersey are engaged in advanced talks on a deal that would send Gerald Wallace to the Nets.”

Sweet!

As @WojYahooNBA reports, the Nets are engaged in serious talks to acquire Gerald Wallace from Portland, league sources say.

Good.. can't stand Gerald's half-assed efforts on the road. He's not the same guy that we brought over last season. He's one of the guys that has been dogging it lately, but gets his stats so it looks like it.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

This is good....

It would be great news. We would really have a lot of room to sign a FA. Now, the question yet to be answered is whether or not we can convince any of the better FA's to join the team.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Sounds serious, since Woj has sent another update:

WojYahooNBA: The Nets and Blazers are "close" on a deal for Gerald Wallace, two league sources tell Y! [via Twitter]

 

[magnifier661]

This is getting interesting!

 

[Blaze01]

It is not the FA cap space IMO, as much as a draft pick, maybe a young player back in return.....

POR NEEDS to offload Crawford, Wallace & Felton....

Would people please start new threads when dealsq go down so we don't have to hunt through this thread to find out what's going on? Thanks.

**BREAKING NEWS**Source: Celtics have traded Ray Allen (Trying to get more info now.. Just said he was informed that is all)

Yes - this is just the "official rumor" thread. Completed trades do not qualify as rumors. Some would argue they are more legit.

 

[magnifier661]

Crawford is asking to be traded now, but desires Orlando Magic. You think they play?

 

[alex42083]

Gonna be sick to see all these guys traded.. but yet Felton will still be on the team.

He's gotta get released. No way we let him poison the new players.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

MarShon Brooks to Portland?!?!?

[alex42083]

omg... Okur and Shawne Williams....ewwwww

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Has Nolan been traded?

Nolan D. Smith‏@NdotSmitty

Wow... Welcome to the business for me!!! It's crazy!!!

For that crap, it better not be protected!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Jason Fleming‏@jfleminghoopsPortland has to send Jersey something other than Wallace to make sure they stay under the lux tax if they take Okur and S Williams.


Jason Fleming‏@jfleminghoops

Wait...maybe. I think they stay slightly under with the $854,389 tax calc for Kurt Thomas and Craig Smiths' minimum deals. Barely.

 

[blue32]

Hopefully, because he'll never play under Nate.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

So is the Crawford/Smith for Reddick deal nearly done or just rumblings?

 

[craigehlo]

Lakers trade for Sessions and give up a future draft pick.

 

[Blaze01]

So is the Crawford/Smith for Reddick deal nearly done or just rumblings?

I would do that deal, I like Redick as a shooter...man this team needs a shooter BADLY.....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Shit, I just re-read that scenario...

It was merely an idea. :-/

 

[magnifier661]

If we could somehow get Orlando's pick (will be a late first rounder, but still a first rounder) and J.J. Reddick for Crawford, I would be ecstatic!
